I thought I was crazy because I swore I could make myself have a letdown by focusing really hard!

Hi! I was wondering if you could explain/demonstrate how to attach Medela hands free cups to the Pumpables Genie Advanced? I have heard this combination recommended for those of us who like higher suction, but haven’t been able to find anyone who can explain how to hack them together. Thank you so much!

Im a physician at a general medicine clinic I tried to prolong my maternity leave to 6 months but the administration denied my request Still, I only got back to my clinic two days a week I tried to express milk during work on the very first day i got back i told the nurses im gonna need some privacy in my office The moment i closed the door i got 3 patients knocking on the door and kept knocking and whenever someone asks where am i the nurses would say she is in her office So i stopped everything and opened the door and didn't pump that day The funny thing is that after few minutes they ordered breakfast and didn't tell me saying you had your breakfast break when you closed the door . I was shocked and didn't say anything 😅 (Im not blaming the nurses. It's just what happened to me) The next day the clinic was so busy that i didn't even have time to have breakfast So i stopped trying (My clinic is a family medicine clinic in which 99% of my patients are not urgent and they can wait 10 minutes but they don't. They simply keep knocking on the door until i open) My supply dropped to half and now i was forced to suppliment with formula I spend the days telling moms the importance of exclusively breastfeeding their babies when my own baby was denied that right 😢 Every time i make him a bottle i can't help but think that i somehow failed him as a mom

I am a 3rd year dental student with 6 month old baby… How will it effect my supply if I am unable to have the same pump schedule every day? Between class and clinic it is challenging to pump at the same time because every day is different

I pumped and breastfeed until I went back to work at 12 weeks. In doing this I basically tricked my body into believing I was feeding twins. I basically pumped every 3 hours around the clock until baby started sleeping through the night. Then I pumped every 3-4 hours during wake hours. I did this so I had a good supply going back to work. I was able to build up a stash big enough to stop pumping at 7 months and feed my baby until 14 months with breast milk

New more info in elastic nipples.

Hello! Is the Synergy Gold Portable more quiet than the S2? I'm looking for a quiet portable pump for work. If you have a suggestion I'd love to hear it! Thank you

Can clogged milk ducts effect how much output my 4 week-old and pump gets?? Because lately I’ll pump for about 15-20 minutes, and the flow will slowdown or stop, so I take everything off. Then I hand express to make sure it’s all out and still get quite a bit… which isn’t a lot, like less than an ounce but more than a few drops. And even though baby gets little hiccups and has swallows while nursing, he still seems hungry even after 30-45 minutes. I’m pretty sure I’m clogged, more on the right than the left, bc usually my left breast gets significantly more, and when I hand express I mostly dribble rather than spray. Then I do feel little lumps in my breasts. One morning my right breast even felt painful. I don’t know why my baby isn’t fully emptying my breasts when he seems so hungry, maybe we need more practice with latching?? I’ll say sometimes it takes a handful of tries to get him latched especially after bottle feeding a few times. So annoying I don’t even mind the clogs as much I just wish my baby was getting everything he needs so I didn’t feel the need to pump or go to formula as much as I do ): Especially because I know I’m making milk! So frustrating. And no I’ve never had an issue with oversupply. I’ve never pumped more than 3 or 4 ounces in one breast and even that has only happened like once in a day, NOT after nursing.

Love u and miss you. ❤

As an Elementary school teacher I feel these same challenges. I was thinking of using: Wearable: Momcozy Mobile M6. Milk catcher w/ suction: Boon Trove. Then when I get home to do Spectra 1.

I used edgepark last time and worked great, just order one frome them yesterday for my new pregnancy hoping they will approve it again🙏. My insurance is with Medicaid by the way hope this info helps someone

That first pump is my favorite. Bought 4 of them. They aren't available anymore

I loved my wearable, I used the Elvie as my primary pump. I didn’t experience aversions to breastfeeding but I struggled with pumping, being stuck to an outlet was tough for me too. I was able to pump and multitask which helped me to deal with the aversion part.

I'm a radiologist so thankfully I can pump while writing reports on the computer. When on-call I don't have time to stop working for a pumping break (not to mention food break). I have to use a wearable because I sit with my colleagues and other doctors are always coming in for consults so no privacy. It's less efficient for sure to use the wearable for 26 hours but thankfully I have a good supply and a big stock in the freezer

I’m only 23w FTM, but would really like to get your feedback on Phillips Avent Breast pumps. I’ve watched most of your videos, but haven’t seen anything about this brand.

What are some other wearable pumps that do a good job of draining and emptying the breast's while at work? Then when at home I prefer to use a regular breastpump

I wish they had a silver option

I also think when returning to work you should have an awesome lactation room that puts you at ease.

Thanks for sharing this information

Def closer to 30 min for me

Which wearable cup would you wear with the Baby Buddha & also the GenieAdvanced???

Thank you for sharing!!💛

How did you decide you need a 21mm? Do you measure before stimulating and add 2-3 mm OR do you measure stimulated nipples? I need to know before I order my pump. I’m desperately trying to save my milk supply,💛 please help anyone- thank you in advance!! While stimulated I measure about 18 or 17mm

Does capacity change over time? With our first I had to pump every 2 hours and barely had enough at the end. At first I had an oversupply, but I got pregnant and my supply tanked. I ended up miscarrying, but it never came back. This time I'm exclusively breastfeeding and pumping every 6 hours. My nighttime pump is around 12 ounces. 5-7 on each side. Going back to work part time seems to have messed with my supply. I'm terrified it will drop again. I currently have over 1,309 ounces in the deep freezer, but worry my baby won't be able to continue breastfeeding if my supply is less. I'm working on finding local families in need. I really want to have a full freezer of newer milk at 6 months when my supply tanked last time.

I have no idea if I’m pumping correctly or efficiently. I have to exclusively pump in order to feed my baby. After pumping I don’t always feel like my breasts are fully emptied. I usually have to manually get the rest out whatever sprays/drops I can get. Sometimes half an ox to an oz more (combined) I use a 15mm flange. I would love to not have to pump so much. I always do 30mins. So it’s 3-4hrs of everyday My baby is 4 almost 5m. I’m 21 weeks pp My pump is Philips avent and I also use a momcozy M5 Would love some help troubleshooting to maximize my output.

@NewLittleLife Is spectra S9 better or Zomee Z2 better??

What are your thoughts when comparing to the fit with the 6 oz containers. I got so much better output with my 4 oz containers vs 6. It's like the 6 oz pushes up in my bra and moves more. Is this similar to the 6 oz fit. They no longer make the 4 oz containers

Hi! Have you come across Imani Ibox?

My baby is 4m. 20 weeks PP I have average storage capacity, my morning pump is 7oz combined. I’ve been trying to work on getting my supply up cause I’m slightly under 20oz and I really am trying to increase it another 5+ oz I pump between 5-6x a day for 30mins. I always do at least one power pump. I’ve been trying to get 7 but I don’t always reach that goal. I wanna get up earlier but I just haven’t been able I need help/advice something. This is my second baby but I have no idea what I’m doing anymore. I wasn’t able to breastfeed or pump with my first. I’ve basically been combo feeding, supplementing formula when needed cause baby has to eat and gain weight of course. So if I only get 2oz I have to add another 2 oz of formula of baby is hungry before I can get another pump in.

i signed up for aeroflow twice now on two different emails because it won’t let me log back in to pick which one i want and i try to do “forgot password” even though i use the same for everything , and it won’t even send me a email to get into it. does anyone else have this problem?

I work with patients and I'm having a hard time with the way they're scheduling my studies.

I still don’t know if I’m pumping incorrectly but it’s all a new learning experience for me. No natter what I still believe I can’t store or produce much and could only pump 1oz. all together within those 25 minutes.

If you are an oversupplier, should you stay away from a wearable?

Why do u say if my goal is to empty breast then wearable isnt a good option?

Could you get a graph of the suction of a parru p10? I know it's a wearable but something about this pump empties me the best but I know I should still have a primary pump as an exclusive pumper. 😊

Reduction in 2016 Having milk stasis, I think, as I'll pump and only get an oz (if i'm lucky), but when i express, I definitely have more milk. I know i can produce. I was producing 90ml while in the hospital. I had my baby at 35 weeks. I'm now 7 weeks postpartum. Is it a lost cause?

I find that if i havent pumped in 3+ hours that i get a third let down around 28min which then has me going til 35min to get it all out. However this third letdown never happens if i pump less than 3 hours apart. Thought id add this in for anyone who like is an under supplier (i was one until i figured out my pumping and that i needed 4 liters of water a day instead of 3).

Anybody notice the boob curtains? 😂

I love my portable and it’s more efficient, but I’m able to pump more often with a wearable, so that’s what I do at work, and save the portable for home.

Thank you so much for this! It’s so hard to make a decision there are so many options , 1st time mom and don’t want to spend a fortune trying out a million pumps

Is that pumping 15 to 30 minutes each side? This will be my first time pumping next month and learning.

Kinda need to get out of the way for the oxytocin to flow.... super helpful how low-stress society makes being a woman!

I had that problem of having raw nipples and everything touching them hurting. I realised that it was because my nipples were rubbing the flange after a few minutes of pumping, because my nipples end up filling all the space after a while, regardless of the flange size. I fixed it by covering them with a tiny drop of oil, and never had raw nipples again :)

Thank you! I got myself the Elvie Curve. I had delayed milk production. I am also not blessed with an abundant milk supply. So, every drop counts. Today, I managed to collect 25 ml for my kid from the leaking milk and suction pumping while feeding my son.

why dont you ever look at the actual camera

Has eufy offered their new pump for you to review? I wish you will review that one too the Eufy S1 pro breast pump.. please

How do i figure out what suction/cycle works for me??? What is the best way to test them out?? Help! I'm really struggling..

Since this video is 3 years old you should update it 😊

I'm 4 months PP, doing combo feeding and trying to have a stash. I have a Zomee and started using it right away. I struggled with being tethered to the pump, with flange sizes, and with less output. 2 months PP I bought a Momcozy wearable for about $120 and I've had a much better experience. I can wear them while I do other things, I now know my flange size, and my output went from 1oz to 2oz per 20 min session, with at least 2 hours in between sessions. I have a small stash, about a weeks worth. And now I've decided to only pump when I need to and I will work on my stash a few weeks before going back to work. I like that I have both pumps but the Zomee is in the box and will remain there unless it's an emergency.
