Why I do not feel any suction from my Philips Avent SCF397/11?

  Francisco FarmerJul 29, 2025
  If you do not feel any suction or the suction level is too low, try a higher suction level, if possible. Check if the silicone diaphragm is assembled correctly. Verify if the white valve is undamaged and assembled correctly. Ensure that the other parts of the breast pump are intact and assembled correctly. Also, make sure that the pump is positioned correctly on the breast to allow a seal between breast pump and breast.

  If the Philips breast pump does not switch on (indicator lights do not go on), check if you are using the adapter that was supplied with the device and that the adapter is connected correctly to the motor unit and wall socket. You can also try connecting the adapter to another wall socket to see if the breast pump can be switched on.

Why is the suction of my Philips Avent SCF397/11 Breast Pump too strong?
- S
  Steven MartinAug 16, 2025
  The suction of the Philips Avent breast pump might be too strong. If possible, try a lower suction level. When you express for the first time, start with the default suction level (level 5 in stimulation mode, level 11 in expression mode) and increase/decrease the level when needed. During different expression sessions, different levels may feel most comfortable for you. Make sure that you only use the Philips Avent breast pump parts provided with this breast pump. Also, check if the silicone diaphragm is undamaged (does not have small cracks, holes etc.).

  Carla FernandezAug 22, 2025
  If you experience pain when using the breast pump, choose a suction level that is comfortable for you. Check if the silicone diaphragm is undamaged (does not have small cracks, holes etc.) and ensure that your nipple is placed in the center of the cushion. If the pain persists, stop using the breast pump and consult your healthcare professional.
