    Didn't work as advertised

    My previous pump in style’s motor started being loud and it seemed like it was struggling to provide suction so I figured it’s time to get a new one since it is a bit old. I joined Medela’s online meet a few weeks back and heard a bit about the pump In style with Maxflow. It’s suppose to work like the hospital grade pump and come with the new soft flex breast shields and the new style of membranes. This was a selling feature for me to go with this pump...well I regret it now! While the soft rubber part of breast shields is comfortable, they do not fit the same way as my old shields do. I use 24mm with my old pump, the new flex shield 24mm are too wide so it sucks a lot of the skin in as well as being too short. I tried the 21mm flex shields and they’re even shorter. I like the membranes are large and easy to clean but unfortunately the fit is just not the same. I went back to using the parts from my old pump.
    Also, since the new shields did not fit well my supply decreased till I switched back to my old parts. I did not see any increase in milk production with using the new pump in style maxflow. I wish I had just saved the money and with the regular one.
