Home Forums Induced Lactation aka Adoptive Breastfeeding Medical Interventions to Induce Lactation/Increase Milk Supply PIS making funny noise!

Yesturday my PIS began making a squeaking noise along with the usual uh-uuh pumping sound. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced that? If so, should I be concerned that the motor is going out or what? I don't know what to make of it. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Kellie

mine squeaked for about 3 weeks.. and then it quit.. I wouldn't worry to much

Thanks Nona. It was weird, I used it for two weeks and all of a sudden, this little "metal" sounding squeak here and there. Oh well, I'll keep at it and see if it disappears.

Kellie,
I too have experienced this with my pump. I called medela and they told me what may be causing the problem. They said to to take off the peice that you connect the tubing to. Put the pump on minimum and the lowest setting and let the white diaphram part go all the way in then pop the plastic peice back on.

When my pump started doing this I thought that it was dying. Since the last time that I tried this trick I have not had any problems with my pump.

If you have any questions or if I did not explain it good enough call medela at 1-800-Tell-You.

Hope this helps,
Bella
