Make sure that the breast pump has been cleaned. Also, assembling the breast pump while it is still a bit moist from sterilizing can help to improve the vacuum.
If not correctly assembled or if any of the parts is damaged, the breast pump can leak air, which reduces the suction power.
The breast pump may also show low suction before expressing. Make sure that the pump is positioned correctly on the breast to allow a seal between breast pump and breast.
Do not mix parts of other breast pumps not belonging to the Philips Avent breast pump range.
Should you still experience low/no suction, we recommend buying new spare parts on www.philips.com/support.
