Replace parts on pump?

Question

pump?" /> 
Have any of you replaced parts on your pump because it wasn't getting enough milk out? My baby is almost 10 months and I feel like I don't get as much milk as I used to. Also, I just went 6 hours without nursing or pumping.. I pumped first, only got 3 ounces from both sides together, and now I'm nursing my baby right after I pumped and he seems to have no problem getting milk! Is my pump defective? Have you had to replace your parts or get a new pump? I don't even know what to replace!

Answer

I voted got a new pump on accident, I didn’t read the whole thing. I would replace parts, I did every two or three months and it made my pump feel like new

Answer

You are suppose to replace your parts every so often. But baby does get milk out better than the pump. After a while your breasts can stop responding to the suck of the pump because it’s different from babies. I’m not sure what type of pump you have but this is for Medela. You can find similar charts for other pumps as well.

Answer

I replace the membranes (little white things) often in my medela pump in style. This seemed to always do the trick if I wasn’t getting a lot. I replaced the tubing about every 3 months.

Answer

So you haven’t replaced the membranes or anything in 10 months? It’s definitely way overdue and probably the reason it’s not efficient anymore. The picture that the other mom posted is great so you know what to buy. If nothings ever been replaced yet, but all of it (membranes, valves, tubing, etc) and your pump should feel brand new! 😊

Answer

I had to get smaller flanges because my nipples aren't normal size but smaller /: helped the milk flow a lot!

Answer

I may need to replace parts on my manual pumps. I have medela and avent pumps. Where can I buy the spare parts from? I'm in India, and the shops here don't stock spares, only the full pumps :/
