Ill experiment further </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/medela-pump-in-style-question#post-502261 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 21:22:57 +0000 rachiecakes 502261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: I found that my covered side leaked air too but it worked better that way, like if I held it tight the suction wasn't as good. I think the little give allows it to have a better pull.<br /> Try holding the cover tight on it for a few seconds and then release and see if it works any better/worse?<br /> ETA: I think they're made so its not air-tight </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/medela-pump-in-style-question#post-502250 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 21:15:50 +0000 immabeetoo 502250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ChelseaRose: they sent me a generic email back with links to faqs and videos so zero help. I only pump sporadically so I doubt ill find the time to pursue it by phone :/ sorry I'm no help! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/medela-pump-in-style-question#post-502201 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 20:40:49 +0000 ChelseaRose 502201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: Any update about this? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/medela-pump-in-style-question#post-487744 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 06:10:49 +0000 LaineysMom 487744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always move the little yellow plug over to the side that I'm not pumping, but I do notice that there is a little bit less suction then when both are going. Maybe your little yellow plug is broken?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/medela-pump-in-style-question#post-487598 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 23:09:08 +0000 MaisyMay 487598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a freestyle by medela, and I know that if I'm only using one, I have to cover the other end of the tube, otherwise there isn't enough suction. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/medela-pump-in-style-question#post-487506 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 22:21:05 +0000 ChelseaRose 487506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: I manually hold mine too. I'd love to hear what medela had to say about it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/medela-pump-in-style-question#post-486565 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 15:37:39 +0000 immabeetoo 486565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>U@CarrieLouWho: I emailed but haven't heard back. It definitely still works but works better if I manually hold the plug down so it doesn't puff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/medela-pump-in-style-question#post-486518 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 15:21:36 +0000 CarrieLouWho 486518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hellobeeboston - yeah, I don't seem to have a problem with mine either, so I don't think it's an issue </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/medela-pump-in-style-question#post-486508 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 15:19:35 +0000 hellobeeboston 486508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have noticed this on mine - but the pump still seems to work... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/medela-pump-in-style-question#post-486474 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 15:07:56 +0000 CarrieLouWho 486474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387 - did you call Medela? I've noticed this on mine as well when pumping on just one side... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/medela-pump-in-style-question#post-459706 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 05:42:09 +0000 mediagirl 459706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: If you call medela, they are amazing about fixing/replacing things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/medela-pump-in-style-question#post-459677 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 03:18:07 +0000 immabeetoo 459677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: yes! That's what I was thinking too :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/medela-pump-in-style-question#post-458014 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 09:23:38 +0000 mediagirl 458014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: Do you mean when you put the plug over the hole where you would normally have the other tube? I don't normally feel anything, I think it should be covered completely so no air is escaping. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/medela-pump-in-style-question#post-451837 Mon, 17 Dec 2012 14:04:57 +0000 immabeetoo 451837@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For those of you who have this pump - when it is pumping, do you feel a little gust of air out on the side that is "covered" if you're only pumping one side? I just noticed this today and am not sure if it is normal or if that means something isn't being covered correctly. Hopefully that makes sense. Thanks!! </p>
