Question about breastfeeding pumping: can u pump more milk with the machine on low suction n if ur more relaxed vs pumping on high suction and massaging n squeezing ur breast to help get the milk out?
@nessa614 only pumping but sorry to clarify it's 1 1/2 oz from each breast every 2 hrs but now since I've kept it on low suction I've been getting 3 1/2 oz each breast every 2 to 3 hrs
@star_wars_freak_2010 wow I didn't know stress could stop milk production thanks for the info. @jacesterlingsmommy I'm trying different things now hoping this works
It's best to be as stress free as possible to help with flow. I wasn't able to breastfeed my first daughter because my ex stressed me out so much my production stopped.
Yes, I've heard that before and it worked for me. I would start it on high to get the milk flowing then turn it down lower but higher suction. Everyone's body is different so you just have to trial and error what settings work best for you.
@nessa614 well I noticed for the past 3 days I've only been able to get 1 1/2 oz on each breast on high n then tonight I pumped on low suction n got 4 oz on each breast
