Pump on the fritz

The time has come for my pump to big me a weak goodbye. For the past few days, I could not pump a decent quantity at work. I knew I did not have a supply issue because I had plenty in the mornings and evenings when I nursed Sam. And I had recently replaced the pump parts and they were in fine working order. So what could be the issue? The pump.

On Friday, the pump began to make protesting noises (instead of ch-CH ch-CH ch-CH, it was more like ch-ch-ch-CHAAA ch-ch-ch-CHAAA). I called Ameda parent line and the customer service agent asked me to put the phone to the machine while it's turned on so she can diagnose the sound issue. She immediately told me the pump sounded labored, and that she'd be sending out a replacement by Monday.

I knew the pump might not arrive by Monday when I need to pump so I brought in my backup pump that I keep at home. I already got more than I did on Friday. And today, Tuesday, I got a nice amount! Three cheers for new pumps that work!

If you've got an issue with your pump, call customer service today.
