What to do when milk goes inside the medela swing breast pump?

Hi,





I have a medela swing breast pump. Sometimes milk has gone inside the pump. It works but makes a noisy sound. How to clear up the pump?





Please advise?|||this happened to me, i thought i broke it but it was fine.





first take it all part, there is a mini sponge in the back which soaks up the milk-this needs to be fully dried out- leave it to dry overnight. the tube needs to be cleaned to, you can attach it to the pump but to nothing for the other end, turn the pump on for 2 mins (or for the entire first pumping action before it changes to letdown) and let the air clear any condensation. put it all back together and hey presto!





good luck|||Ah! I know this answer cause my wife had that pump too and I fixed it for her many times, lol.





You need to first air out everything, take it apart as much as possible and let it sit on the counter overnight. You know the little flap thing, replace it and make sure the clear tube thing is on correctly when using it.|||be careful... u can burn out the motor... make sure milk doesnt get in it anymore.... those pumps cost too much
