I started with the 24mm flanges that came with my pump and sized down to a 16mm after talking with my lactation consultant. I am getting SO much more milk and it’s pain free. Flange size matters SO much!

6:51 I totally understand why moms “want” an oversupply, especially when they think they aren’t making enough (but are probably making the right amount for their baby, but that’s a whole different story). But as a mom who struggled with overactive letdown and massive oversupply in the beginning, it was terrible. My baby wouldn’t nurse for the first few months because it was so bad. She was constantly choking, she couldn’t get a good latch because I was so engorged, and she would constantly pop off and milk would spray everywhere. It was not pleasant for either of us and it made me feel like a failure because I couldn’t feed my baby the way I was “supposed to.”

NICU Mommy, born at 35 weeks. This video is great! Going to watch again. Thank you!

I’ve tried scalding and it doesn’t work and then it also looses some of it nutritional properties. The best way I’ve found to avoid the soapy/bad smell/taste is to freeze as soon as possible after pumping! If I pump and plan to use freshly pumped milk in a 24 hour period, I’ll use that but anything that spots longer than that in the fridge will have that taste/smell after it’s thawed. I have been breastfeeding/pumping for 7 years now and have tried so many methods.

I dont have a bath tub....

Can this start happening at 5 months?

I am literally sobbing watching this video my son is 11 months old. Is teething, had 5 teeth come through in the last 3 wks 😬 and i feel so bad he must be in so much pain, all i want to do is comfort him, take his pain away. Ive been trying everythin baby Tylenol, ice teethers, gum massaging. But he refuses to breastfeed & it just breaks my heart cuz i miss that bondin experience with him so bad, it was the one thing i shared wit him that no one else could. It was my way of coping with all of lives daily struggles my lil piece of heaven. 😢😭

Thank you for being such an honest person I was about to purchase this online but saw your vidoe saved my life ❤

Thank you so much for sharing this information. I ended up with all of these problems and breastfeeding is such a struggle for us sadly now still 5 months later. I wish I didn’t hear such praise about the haaka in the early days postpartum. It’s so sad to see my baby throwing up all of the time now because she’s getting too much too quickly 😢

The Haaka gave me overactive letdown and oversupply. My baby has had bad reflux since my milk was established 4 months ago.

It’s messed up that this isn’t common knowledge. Breastfeeding education for women is majorly lacking 😢

I cant believe the amount of midwives and health visitors I have spoken too with my issues with pumping and its most likely a wrong sized flange! I have a mam pump, does anyone know where I can get flanges to fit that or are they quite universal? X

Amazing video thank you

Scary dumb. I don't know so let me make up an answer

You video is sooo helpful..❤❤

Can you use mounjaro when breastfeeding?

This so good… I keep seeing “until 1 year old baby’s primary food needs to be breast milk or formula while I know it’s well intended that still makes me feel a lot of pressure despite my baby eating like 6 times a day at 9 months lol

So do I not offer the bottle at all during this time?

What if you have a large stash of frozen milk that hasn’t been scalded? Will this process work after the milk has been defrosted? Thanks

I think genes also play a huge role, personally my experience is exactly as explained on video, and i breastfed for long. But I have a friend who barely breastfed and her breast have not re inflated to date. Size also plays a huge role. Sometimes, Even if you don’t breastfeed at all, after pregnancy your breasts are most likely never to go back to what they looked like before pregnancy

Hello ! Could you please do an update on this topic now that there is a study that has just been published about the use of Semaglutide in lactating mothers

Is this why my baby jsnt wanting to nurse as long and is taking less on bottles? So stressed 😭

Hi Summer! How do you get the 1oz an hour pumping? Can you direct me to a video if you’ve already answered this. Granted my baby is only two weeks- but I’m a stay at home mom and I feed the baby directly from the breast. If I pump, aren’t I stealing her food? I’m a little confused when you can pump to stash a little

I’m glad I came across this video I’ve had a cold for a few days now I usually get 3-4 per sessions now only pumping 1-2oz my baby is a month old I’ve had to supplement with formula it’s so worrisome will my supply come back I e even been power pumping twice a day

Thanks for the info! My wife was worried because his stool was just a tiny bit green, sounds like it's fine. Is that a Douglas Fir outside your window? Are you in the PNW?

Hello, I tried inserts but I never saw the stream that’s supposed to happen 🙈I think I have elastic nipples , any idea what can I do. Thanks very much

Women try to talk others into doing same thing so they won’t feel alone 😂. Very weird thing. Y’all breastfeeding will change the structure of ur breast. Prepare your mind for it

Thank you for this info! Can you translate this info/video spanish?

Thank you for this info! Can you translate this info/video spanish?

It’s not marketing, it’s whatever was available back then in many country’s. So people made that choice.

Wow so interesting… I was so worried about my 9.5 month old son.. he slowly stopped nursing over the past 2 weeks… he nurses maybe once in the day and then about 2-3 times at night. Also I pumped one time just to see my milk production and its about 30 ml per breast… so its definitely dropped alot. In addition to one breastfeed (if at all) a day (mind you only takes 5 sips) he drinks water/fruit juice (probably around 50ml total).. and then he loves his food.. he eats 3 snacks and 3 square meals a day. Doctor said this is fine as long as he isn’t dropping his weight and has enough wet diapers in a day. Mind you, my plan was to breastfeed until his 2nd birthday.. and now he’s decided to wean super early🤣

Thank n you so much

Why is EVERYONE in the comment section women?

Milk makers? They are called women!

I had a C-section so I know it impacted him. So probiotics would be great because he has bad eczema flareups.

If we warm refrigerated milk and the milk is not used by the baby as if the baby sleeps or something, can we refrigerate it again and them warm it again to feed the baby for next feeding. And if we need half of the breastmilk stored in one bottle, we have to warm it to mix the fat content thoroughly and then can we put the remaining half in fridge again

THANK UUUUUUUUUUU! I was freaking out over nothing! Praise God!

Hello Why the concept of pumping is different from that of direct breastfeeding I mean that in breast feeding a large part of the areola should be in the mouth for proper latch while for pumping only the nipples are to fit in the flange ?!!

Can we warm freshly pumped milk stored at room temperature for 2 hrs?

This video was a God send! I have been panicking and looking to wean before my goal! Thank you for this!!

❤

Well the baby doesn’t need probiotic but women with vaginal issues most definitely need probiotics

Thank you for this video. I just pumped with the right size flange and got the volume I do in 20 minutes in 5. 😅 I've been pumping wrong for 8 MONTHS. 😢

How do you keep it positive and low pressure when the baby is crying, fussing, flailing at the nipple?

Logical fallacies here about “that’s not how it’s meant to be.”

I’ve been having to do this with the milk for my second baby. But it leaves the milk with chunky particles on top that I believe is the fat. Is this normal?

Can this work for 3 month old babies? Going back to work and introducing formula, slowly decreasing my pump sessions to 3 times a day and only 15 min. Is it possible to pump only twice a day ? Morning and night? Just so he get at least some breast milk throughout the day with formula.

Thank you soooo much ❤ i hâve been struggling with choosing the right flange size my nipples are flat and I am really confused determining their borders . Can you clarify more?❤

Thank you so much for the reassurace! It means the world to a breastfeeding mama!

Should there be a stream of milk the entire pump session or only during your let down? I have a strong let down but after a few minutes it turns to drops.
