      To troubleshoot low or no suction with your Medela Breast Pump, check all connections and ensure the transparent cap is firmly connected to all three connection points on the connector between the breast shield and bottle. Hold the breast shield while expressing, making sure it forms a complete seal around the breast. If single pumping, insert the unused tubing into the tubing holder. Ensure the tubing is not kinked and contains no water. All components must be completely dry.
