Pumping issues
Hiiii. I have a 6 week old who’s only breastfed. He’s eating great. Just started this week with trying to pump. First 2 days were fine no issue. Was able to get 2 bottles out. Now when I try it’s impossible but I have milk. Baby’s having no issue and I can manually get milk out no issue. So stuck about what to do. I have the lasinoh double pump. I go to lactation consult tomorrow afternoon. But i also have doctors appointments in morning so I need bottle for baby.
Has anyone else had this type of issue

Are you feeling the suction?
I had an issue with my tube for my madela pump a couple times and it was faulty and not providing enough suction to actually get any milk out.
Yeah I am but sometimes I don’t see my nipple actually moving like I did the time I was actually able to get bottle
It sounds like your either not aligned correctly in the flange or something is causing lower suction than before.
Sometimes if I dont align right, I can feel the suction but my nipple barely moves, so I just kinda readjust and then I FEEL the suction 😂
I also have a Lansinoh pump. Sometimes the tube gets loose where it connects to the pump. And another time it was the purple thing on the top. The thing that moves up and down to control the suction. I had to open the top of it and re align it correctly. Sometimes water gets in there during cleaning process as well.
And make sure the flange is pushed in all the way! I barely pushed it in last night and thought my pump was broke.
