Help...my medela breast pump is not pumping

[sparkle1]

Im so upset
im going out tomorrow for the first time & leaving LO with OH.
Ive expressed some milk this aft and put it in the fridge, im just expressing some now & my medela electric pump has stopped 'sucking ' my nipple in??
The suction is just not there.
Im gutted, I dont know what to do now.
I have some formula but have decided to express instead.
I have not kept the packaging.
I was going to express in the morning when my boobs are full.

I use a hand pump so not sure if this will work but when mine does this i run the suction part nder the hot water and it seems to do the trick. If its faulty you dont need the packaging just proof of purchase so a bank statement will do. If all else fails try emailing the manufacturer you may find they can help

Have a try at hand expressing, if you google it you should find some instructional videos.

Try taking the membranes off, washing them in warm water and replacing them.

Make sure the tubes are plugged into the pump properly and into the bottle hun, it comes out a bit sometimes and sdoesn't suck as well. x

Its usually the value/membrane on mine that's the problem.

Try taking it apart like Freckle suggested or you can buy new values and membranes if it's not under warranty still.
