I did not have to pay for her to do that. She lives in Garland. Hope some if this helps! Did you change out the little white rubber pieces every 3 months? Your motor should still be good. Mine has lasted for years.
I'm betting the motor is just fine. If there's problem with the pump it is likely the white - gosh it's been so long I forget what it's called - membrane in the horns. If they don't form a tight seal then you won't get suction. Also make sure everything is nice and tight, the tubes to the machine and the tubes to the horns. Even check the dial and diaphram on the machine are on tight. All of these parts can get loose or wear out and are replaceable. If the pump sounds the same and has the same rhythm it is probably fine.
I know of a ton of medelas that have gone through several kids and last and last. When the motor wears out you'll know it. Good luck and way to go for giving your baby the best. I know how hard it was, I too pumped at work for a year. The dreaded black bag, uggggg. Hi, it may be your pump. I have 3 children and used it with all three. I even lent it out twice. I have a medela advanced pump and style and have been pumping for almost a year.
How long a breast pump lasts will depend on how much milk you pump. Instead of thinking about a breast pump lasting a certain amount of days or months, consider the fact that breast pump motors are designed to last a specific number of hours. Some breast pumps are designed to last a few hundred hours, and then the motor will need to be replaced. This varies based on brand, but the longest-lasting breast pump is the Spectra S1 or S2 with a lifespan of hours.
If the parts are still good and the motor still works, you can use the same breast pump after years have passed. If the breast pump loses suction, you can just replace the parts. Medela breast pumps are extremely popular because of their warranty. Most Medela breast pumps come with the same warranty. This warranty states that the pump portion of the breast pump will be covered for one year, and all other parts will be covered for 90 days.
This is based on the fact that your breast pump should last a year. Not all breast pumps do, but Medela is known to last this long due to the extended warranty they have when compared to other breast pumps. Any price and availability information displayed on [relevant Amazon Site s , as applicable] at the time of purchase will apply to the purchase of this product.

The Exclusive Pumpers! Hello, I just bought my pump 2 months ago but have been using it a lot, 8 times a day for 30 min. I used mine 7 months 3x a day with my 1st and so far 3 months x a day No problems. I'm at 9 months and 3 weeks and still using mine. Maybe get new valve things the little white part I know that's makes a difference with the suction for me.
Battery suction is noticeably less than plug in, but that is to be expected in my opinion. I bought this breast pump at Target on a whim, and I love it. Love this pump. This manual pump is extremely affordable, plus small and lightweight, which makes it easy to pick up as a backup for times when you might need to relieve just a little bit of engorgement or if you only tend to pump a few ounces every once in a while.
I have an electric Medela pump and think it's a lot harder to clean. It's a little larger in size than the Medela manual pump, but the Lansinoh manual pump I can do one-handed, which is a big plus for me.
My little one is 3 months now and usually eats only on one side for his middle-of-the-night feed. I always pump the other and get 4 ounces or so. The innovative Willow Pump has no tubes, no wires and no hanging bottles. This pump has a corresponding app that controls the suction and keeps track of milk volume, pumping time and previous pumping sessions.
You can change the settings with a tap on your phone. Also cool: You can pump in any position, thanks to the spill-proof design. So you can lay down or bend over to pick up your baby while you pump without the worry of spilling any breast milk. The bags are a little pricey, but freeze well. I have a Spectra for my main pump but use the Willow for work and weekend outings and I love it. There is a learning curve, but I'm sure the more you use it the easier it gets.
I love it and can't wait to use it in public! The Motif Duo is incredibly lightweight, so it's perfect for working moms or anyone who needs to pump on the go. It can fit in the palm of your hand and weighs less than a pound, so not only can you easily stash it in your bag or your desk drawer , but it's barely noticeable.
In addition to its small size, the Motif Duo is super quiet and has a battery life of more than two hours, so you can pump even if you're not near an outlet — without fear that the device is going to give up on you mid-pumping session. And while it's small, it's also mighty: This pump has 10 massage settings and another 10 for expression to make sure it will not only do the work, but also stay comfortable for you.
Moms who pump in the middle of the night will also appreciate the easy-to-read LCD screen and the low-hum motor. The closed system makes keeping things sanitary nice and easy, too. The battery lasts a long time. I pump about times per day and have to charge every other day. The lightweight, one-piece Haakaa Silicone Pump is perfect for moms who need help starting a milk flow.
You can use this pump alone to create suction, no tedious hand pumping required. Just squeeze a little bit, and the suction allows the natural letdown process to flow. Should you need to pump while out and about, it does work for that, too.
Simply attach it to your breast and squeeze repeatedly the way you would with a manual pump. When you get home, the all-silicone design is easy to clean. A little hot soapy water and a bottle brush will do the trick. One of the many benefits of a wearable breast pump is that you can pump just about anywhere, but the gig is up if your pump makes a telltale whooshing noise.
Luckily, the Elvie Pump is one of the quietest on the market. A flexible bottle brush should do the trick. The Elvie is easy to use, too. You simply pop each 8-ounce pump into your bra, turn it on, and let it work its magic. Just make sure to keep an eye on the output levels using your app — once the collection jar fills up, you risk milk backing up and out of the pump, causing quite a leaky mess.
