  If you experience low or no suction with your Medela Breast Pump, ensure all pump set components are clean and dry, and that all connections are secure. When pumping, make sure the breast shields form a complete seal around the breast. If single pumping, verify the unused tubing end is correctly plugged into the tubing holder. If the suction does not improve after these steps, further assistance may be needed.
