Medela swing problem - any suggestions?


Aarrrgh!
Pumping this morning and the milk wasn't flowing into the collection bottleproperly - it kept getting backed up and flowing into the tube.

Any ideas why it would do that.
Can I just run very hot water thru the tube to clean it?

Mine did that a while ago, and I'm still not sure why, but I found by pulling the tube out let the milk flow into the bottom and when I reattached it didn't do it again. I have a feeling it is because the valve sticks so milk collects in the top part.

I have cleaned the tube by running hot water down it, but it wasn't to cure that problem!
