  Stacey MorrisJul 27, 2025
  To address low or no suction with your Medela Breast Pump, ensure the membrane is clean and undamaged, and that it seals properly around the connector's edge. Confirm the lid is firmly connected to the connector. Check all tubing connections to ensure they fit securely into the connector and the pump. If single pumping, insert the unused tubing into the tubing holder. Make sure there is no water in the tubing and avoid kinking it during use. Finally, ensure the breast shield creates a complete seal and that all components are completely dry.
