Glad it all helped!

I had no idea I had to change those! I always just washed them lol and put them back on. I've been pumping for 4 months! I put on new ones and tried a bigger shield and that made a world of difference! thank you guys! @meagansimone @jojo411

you might need a different size shield for your pump.

Make sure you change your membranes every 2 weeks to a month if you're using regularly. if using electric, you may get more with a manual and vice verse. look at pictures of your baby to help stimulate a letdown.
