Not letting down for the pump?

[dakotamidnight]

Is there anything I can do for this? I pump the same as always, and this week it's just not cutting it.

Today I got all of 5oz in 3 sessions - normally I get 8+ oz and it's barely enough. It's been getting worse all week. I feel engorged even after I pump, and I have to do pretty firm massage to get anything out at all.

I use a PY double pump - could it need new parts {valves?}? Or do I need to look into a different type of pump?

BTW - I am allergic to Feuengreek & Oats - so those are out.

Here's some info on pumping:

You could very well need new valves etc. Try that first.
