It could be torn, causing the suction to be off. That was usually the case for me when suction was lower than usual. Once I replaced the valve it was back to normal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-pump-bit-the-dust#post-196963 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 07:51:47 +0000 mamimami 196963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You should contact Medela. They're very responsive especially via Twitter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-pump-bit-the-dust#post-196914 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 06:59:48 +0000 Weagle 196914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a SAHM and pump usually 1-2 times a day, so I've been using a manual pump (Medela). In the past few days I've noticed that the suction, well, sucks. I don't know why it's changed all of a sudden. Now I'm in the market for a pump that will last more than 6 weeks. Does anyone just love their manual or single electric pump? </p>
