  If you're experiencing low or no suction with your Medela Breast Pump, several factors could be at play. First, ensure the breastshield forms a complete seal around the breast. Check that all connections are secure and that the valve membrane is lying flat against the valve head. Also, verify that the valve membrane and valve head are clean and undamaged. Make sure the motor is properly secured to the connector, and ensure all components are completely dry.
