Solution
- 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.
- Check if the silicone diaphragm is undamaged (does not have small
cracks, holes etc.).
- If the problem persists, contact the Consumer Care Center via
www.philips.com/support.
- If you do not feel enough suction, please check Troubleshooting item
'I do not feel any suction/the suction level is too low'.
- If you are using the Philips Avent breast pump for the first time, you
may need to acquire some practice before you are able to express
any milk. More expressing tips can be found on the Philips Avent
website www.philips.com/avent.
