Hi,

So I've had my Medela Pump in Style breastpump for a little over a year now and I've noticed that the suction isn't as strong as it used to be. First off, I never thought that the suction was all that strong in the first place but it seemed to get the job done so I didn't think much of it. Recently, I mentioned the decreased suction to my friend and she asked if it was making any funny noises. I replied that it has always made a loud pumping noise, to which she asked, "Is that normal?"

The fact of the matter is I have no idea. I bought the pump, started using it, and just assumed the loud "whooping" noise it makes is normal. Is it? Does your pump make a loud "whooping" sound? and did it start to lose suction at any time?
