Help needed in Swanage

6 replies

My 21m old DD has just decided to self wean, or at least have a temporary breastfeeding strike. We are on holiday in Swanage and I just tore the little silicone membrane in my medela swing pump. She hasn't fed since last night and I'm starting to feel really uncomfortable. Anyone got any ideas?

Amazon sell replacement valves and membranes for Medela pumps, and they do a next day delivery service. In fact, if you're willing to pay, I think they also do a same day evening delivery service...

I think I've seen them sold in some Boots and Mothercares before- might be worth checking any local baby shops?

I couldn't find them on the boots.com website so possibly not there, but yes to Mothercare, and John Lewis also sell them if that might help.

Until you get hold of them, could you try hand expressing, perhaps in a bath or shower?

Thank you all for your ideas. I've calmed down now and am slightly more rational than I was when the valve came apart in my hands.
I've ordered from Amazon to be delivered by 1 tomorrow. Evening delivery turns out to be London and Birmingham only.
Boots and Mothercare don't sell them in store and John Lewis have them but only in Southampton which is > 3 hr round trip.
I'm going to bridge the gap with a hand pump from Boots, It's the only pump they have in store!
Thanks again

There's a big Mothercare in Branksome, Poole (in fact there's also a Boots next door to it) - probably about 15 mins drive once you've crossed the chain ferry if that helps! Worth giving them a quick call to see what they've got in?

Oops, just posted at the same time! Glad you're sorted :)
