The pump has too much
suction.
Follow below guidelines if you experience too much suction with your
breast pump:
- If you are using the power cushion, try the massage cushion which will
have a bit lower suction.
- If possible, try a lower suction mode.
- Make sure you only use the Philips Avent comfort breast pump’s parts.
- Make sure you have assembled the comfort breast pump with the a
cushion: not using the a cushion can result in too much vacuum.
- When using a breast pump for the rst time, you may experience the
suction level as too high at rst. Practicing can help.
If the problem persists, consult your breastfeeding advisor.
The manuel breast pump

the handle.
Make sure the handle is wet when assembling the manual breast pump.
