The pump has too much
suction.
Follow below guidelines if you experience too much suction with your
breast pump:
- Make sure you only use the Philips Avent comfort breast pump’s parts.
- Make sure you have assembled the comfort breast pump with the
massage cushion: not using the massage cushion can result in too much
vacuum.
- When using a breast pump for the first time, you may experience the
suction level as too high at first. Practicing can help.
If the problem persists, consult your breastfeeding advisor.
