Inspect your pump parts regularly for any deterioration and expect to be replacing them from time to time - but you will not "see" when your parts are deteriorating or need replacement 99% of the time. If you can visibly see any fraying or stretching on your valves then you can be pretty sure they're the culprit. These need to be replaced every couple of months for mums who pump occasionally up to every 2 weeks for a mum exclusively pumping. The number one part responsible for this are your valves. Over time, the elasticity of these parts wear down causing them to lose effectiveness. If you're experiencing low suction on your breast pump then it's generally due to parts needing replacing. Unfortunately a lot of the time people think it's a problem with the breast pump, or even worse, that their supply has dropped. It's really common for mums to notice a drop in suction over time, or feel like the breast pump isn't working well anymore.

If you’re plugging in your Spectra breast pump to mains and it’s not turning on, or if you have a rechargeable breast pump and it’s giving you no indication that it’s charging, the number one culprit for this is the power adaptor.
