I never had batteries in it, since its plugged directly to the power. I just got a new one from Target and I printed a refund slip from amazon, so i will get my money back from amazon for the first one. The one I got from Target is about $15 more expensive than the amazon price but honestly its worth the peace of mind knowing that I HAVE A WORKING PUMP! Yay All is well with the world again </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-dilemma#post-504224 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 19:53:45 +0000 autumnlove 504224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yellowbird: Same here! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-dilemma#post-504219 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 19:50:59 +0000 matador84 504219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought a manual Medela just to have for emergencies! Got mine from BRU. Target has pumps too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-dilemma#post-504197 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 19:40:32 +0000 kodybear 504197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>this happened to me this past weekend! my medela freestyle died (after only 6 weeks!) they said they'd send me a new one but it wouldn't arrive till Sat (I called on Thurs night) so I ended up renting a hospital pump for a week. it was cheaper than buying a manual. hopefully i don't run into this problem again! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-dilemma#post-504185 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 19:35:26 +0000 yellowbird 504185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It took me around 10 minutes a side with a manual! I could get milk faster than with my electric, but had to do one side at a time, obvs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-dilemma#post-504179 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 19:32:55 +0000 MaisyMay 504179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: Did you try taking the batteries out?

Maybe you can buy a manual pump? </p> <p>Good luck!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-dilemma#post-504136 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 19:18:38 +0000 mediagirl 504136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: Before you buy a new one, call Lanisoh, they may replace it for free! Call them right now and tell them what is going on... And that you need it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-dilemma#post-504135 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 19:18:33 +0000 BelugaBean 504135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about picking up a cheap manual pump until you can find a new electric one? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-dilemma#post-504130 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 19:17:01 +0000 Mrsbells 504130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got home from work about an hour ago and tried to pump, but my pump keeps dying after abour 40 seconds. I've tried everything like using a different outlet, sometimes it wont even come on. It is a Lansinoh double electric which I've used for over 8 months now and it worked great until now!</p> <p>I planned to rush out to the store to buy a new one but now most of the stores in my area dont see to even have it in stock. I could order another one from amazon, but I need to pump tonight and even if I avoid pumping tonight by repeated nursing, I definitely need to pump in the morning before going to work. And suggestions? </p>
