Leaking pump?

4 replies

Can anybody help..

I have a Nuk electric breast pump and for the first day I got on with it really well. Now however I'm getting a lot of leakage out the lower half of the cone and the suction seal keeps breaking.

Am I doing something wrong?
I'm keeping perfectly still/not breaking the seal.

I'm a 34E cup (pre-baby, haven't been measured yet for nursing bra) - are my boobs too big?

It's stopping any rhythm of pumping as once it starts to leak it doesn't pump the same without keep stopping to try it and then getting another good 20 seconds and then it being too wet to seal again.

Commenting in the hope that someone with that pump replies to you. But I don’t think it should be that your boobs are too big or it’d be a rubbish pump. 34G here, Medela fan.

Thanks @LouiseTrees 8 8i didn't think so, I'm just spending more time mopping up leaks and drying the pump to get a seal then I am pumping

Are you 100% sure it's put together properly?? Not the same make but early on I would frequently put one small part of my pump in upside down / back to front and it would cause issues like this.

Yes I've had the manual out and YouTube and I can't see any issues.

I'm currently being splattered with milk from the top of the breast shield and it's dripping from the bottom. Every "suck" the seal is essentially breaking
