I'm a first time mom and I was gifted this pump today. Thank you so much! I feel so much more ready for my sons arrival 😁

[@MommaAlia]

Aw yay! So happy to help!🥰

[@scottchanell]

I have been struggling to breastfeed from day 1! On the 2nd day my poor baby was so hungry! I got nipple shields and everything and finally on the 5th day my pump came in!!! I had no idea how to work it but after watching your video I pumped 5oz on the 1st try!!!!!!! Thanks for the help!!! You literally helped a mommy feed her baby today

[@MommaAlia]

Yayay!! So happy to help momma🥰🥰🤍

[@lalad.8418]

I’m currently pumping after watching your video. I had almost given up, but after following your instructions, I’m literally pumping so efficiently. I’m literally amazed. In just 10 min, I’ve pumped an ounce. I’ve had this pump for 2 months and just now know how to use it. I was using it absolutely WRONG! I thought my milk was drying up, but I actually still have so much. I was legit on the BRINK of quitting. I’m so thankful, my baby boy and I are so thankful. Your help is going to feed him until he wants to stop. My life has changed.

[@Kailaandshia]

Momma Alia 😇

[@lilmistroublemaker]

Great instructions, thank you, to the point.

[@AmericanMamaBear]

HA!! I got this pump in 2019 and used it for maybe 3 months before going to formula. I didn't do any research on it, did TONS wrong and I think thats why I gave up so soon. But I just had a new baby and really want to try to go the extra mile (especially since we have a formula shortage right now) and this video was very helpful. I never knew what the letdown button even was (not sure I even knew it was there lol) but now that I've done some more researching I feel like I may be able to go a lot longer this time!! Thanks for the vid 😉😍

[@MommaAlia]

Happy to help!

Happy to help!

[@kayleeconti1853]

Thank you for this video! My husband and I are going to be trying for our second baby soon and I am leaning closer to exclusively pumping. My first was formula fed, so that’s what I know so I am a bit nervous to try! But I keep telling myself , it’s not going to hurt to try. Try it for a while and if it doesn’t work that’s ok! There is just so much in my head that I want to make sure I go about it the right way :)

[@MommaAlia]

Yay! Happy to help momma! Hope everything goes perfectly for you💕

[@pawpaw3752]

[@mylordisbeautifulinhisways2066]

i had my son september 30 and today hes 2 months old i was pumping for 4 weeks after he was born i havent pumped since 4 weeks is it possible to get my milk supply back i haven't pumped at all in 4 weeks and i still have milk in my breast

[@MommaAlia]

It's possible momma! It's called relactating and it's difficult but not impossible. I would definitely look into joining a breastfeeding support group to help you through this because some one on one help and support will help a lot! You'll want to pump every 2-3 hours around the clock, make sure your flange is sized, stay hydrated and stick with it even if you get drops for awhile. Good luck momma!(:

[@sowrongitsrightt]

Just bought this! Thanks ❤️

[@amandagoforth8566]

So my pump started pumping milk into the tubing straight to the pump instead of the bottle! Help!

[@MommaAlia]

Make sure you aren't leaning forward when pumping. If you aren't call Medela customer service!

[@Knc928]

Thank you for this video! Very informative 😀

[@MommaAlia]

Happy to help!

[@mylordisbeautifulinhisways2066]

do you have any tips to get milk supply back after not pumping

[@juanette92571]

Karisma Stanley once your milk is gone you can't get it back.

[@mylordisbeautifulinhisways2066]

no true ive pumped every hour and a half since i asked the question and i went from 1 oz that day total to 2 oz each pump session in 2 days it is possible drink lots lots of water my son is only 8 weeks and i pumped for weeks and stopped for a month it is possible make milk again

[@MommaAlia]

You actually can get it back(: Relactating is difficult but not impossible. I would definitely look into joining a breastfeeding support group to help you through this because some one on one help and support will help a lot! You'll want to pump every 2-3 hours around the clock, make sure your flange is sized, stay hydrated and stick with it even if you get drops for awhile. If you don't notice any increase after a few weeks I would talk to your OB about medication that can help with lactation. Good luck momma!(:

[@sanchezelizabeth]

Would love to know if I can pump from PISA into the avent storage cups, maybe using the maymom adapter + the avent cup adapter?

[@MommaAlia]

I’m not sure momma. I know as the PISA comes, Avent wouldn’t fit. If there’s an adapter it may work but I have no personal experience to tell you 100%😕 I would purchase the adapter off amazon if you could that way if it doesn’t fit you can probably send it back

[@sanchezelizabeth]

Thanks for responding!

[@karenmaruyama4090]

Thank you for this great video.

[@MommaAlia]

Happy to help!

[@rochellesouthwick7852]

I had this pump with my daughter and never knew about the let down mode 🤦🏼‍♀️ I could never get much milk out and now I wonder if that is why.

[@MommaAlia]

Ah man! That would explain a lot!

[@rkmari6872]

Thank you so much ! First time mommy here and bought mine from somebody but she didnt have the instructions so instead of using pdf I found this video which saves time so thank you for this ! Question though,mine didn't come with the phalanges or however you spell it? Are these a must and if so where could I get them ?

[@MommaAlia]

Happy to help momma! Their owners manual are also online in PDF form so if you need to search for it, they’re out there! And yep, flanges are definitely key! They’re what attach to your breast and suck your nipple to pull the milk out. Amazon, Babies R Us (in case you’re in Canada), target and even some Walmart’s carry them!

[@marylandry8167]

What is the difference between stimulation mode and expression mode? Does stimulation mode go quicker and expression mode go slower? Do you suggest lower suction on stimulation and higher auction on expression mode?

[@amberlilly1899]

Mary Landry stimulation mode is just for stimulating ur let down and expression is to actually get milk and ur suction is just based on you

[@raquellenewton1878]

Great video thank you! FTM here

[@MommaAlia]

Happy to help!!

[@maritzaolivas304]

How does this work with a car adapter? My doctor said it also uses batteries but where ?

[@MommaAlia]

You plug the batter pack cord into the hole for the wall adapter!

[@iyannhabrown400]

How often do you pump the first month?

[@MommaAlia]

If you’re exclusively pumping (meaning no nursing) then you want to pump every 2-3 hours during the day and every 3-4 hours during the night for the first twelve weeks!

[@taurusgirl4411]

very helpful thank u

[@MommaAlia]

Happy to help!

[@kristinaarmstrong7809]

Incredibly helpful. This is my new manual!

[@MommaAlia]

Happy to help and so happy to hear that!(:

[@reyamar7781]

Is the tubing of this pump the same with medela symphony?

[@MommaAlia]

No it’s not! Very different!

[@cierramazingo4537]

Can you do a video on cleaning the Medela pump parts especially the tubing

[@MommaAlia]

If you get condensation in your tubing after a pump session, you don't need to change them. Just crank your pump on high AFTER you're done and unattached for about 10-15 minutes. It'll dry them out. If you get milk in them you can soak them in warm soapy water, then rinse, hang upside down and run some alcohol through them to help them dry(:

[@lovehaile8876]

[@shannonb7832]

Hey! I have a question can you use the nuby natural touch bottles with the Medela pump and style or would I need to find a adapter?

[@MommaAlia]

Hello! You would need an adapter(:

[@phylliswillis1298]

thank you thank you! perfect video!!

[@MommaAlia]

Happy to help!!

[@KeishaDalis]

Thank you so much for making this videos. 🙌❤😊

[@MommaAlia]

Happy to help!

[@atuyaibrahim8070]

Hello. How can i sanitized the tubing ?

[@MommaAlia]

Soak it in hot soapy water. Rinse them out. Boil them. Swing them around your head like lasso you get as much moisture out as possible. Hang to dry somewhere vertical. But I wouldn’t do it unless they’ve had contact with milk or some other liquid that isn’t water

[@keilisbabys4770]

Do you recommend this one over the lansinoh pump or vise versa? please reply ASAP? Thankyou in advance!:)

[@MommaAlia]

I prefer the Lansinoh for myself. If you like more suction, I'd go with the Medela. If you need something that's a little gentler, I would go with the Lansinoh(:

[@erikaduffy5494]

Can I hack it to be a closed pump? Even if it wards warranty?

[@MommaAlia]

You could find pump parts that come with a back flow protector and cut off the hard plastic end pieces that are on the tubing probably. Haven’t tried it for sure though!

[@lilajohnson2173]

How do I tell if it’s in stimulation or letdown mode

[@MommaAlia]

It automatically starts in letdown mode. Listen closely to it. If it sounds faster, it’s in stimulation, hit the button and it should sound slower. If you’re still confused just turn it off then back on and you’ll know you’re definitely in let down mode!

[@aliciadelacruz9239]

Does the pump need to be on its back facing the ceiling or facing me? What is considered upright ?

[@celinamacial]

Alicia Delacruz the website recommends for the pump to face you. If it lays down there’s a possibility of milk getting into the pump. Hope this helps 😊

[@aliciadelacruz9239]

This helps tremendously thank you

[@MommaAlia]

What Celina said!!

[@keepingupwithlln1036]

hi, im not sure if you’ll respond but my son is about it be a year and I still have milk I would like to start pumping again would you recommend me anything to increase my milk supplement?

[@MommaAlia]

Hey momma! You can take supply boosters when you’re relactating but the most consistent way will be your pump routine! Going back to every 2-3 hours during the day and 3-4 at night. It may take a while to see any progress depending on when you weaned but if you’re consistent you production should slowly increase🤞🏻🤍

[@paulettelewis2926]

Can I simply say what a aid to find someone who actually is aware of what theyre speaking about on the internet. You undoubtedly know tips on how to convey a difficulty to gentle and make it important. More individuals have to read this and understand this facet of the story. I cant imagine youre not more common since you positively have the gift.

[@MommaAlia]

+Paulette Lewis Aw thank you!! You're right! More correct, all inclusive info needs to be readily available for mom's!

[@itscollysworld1389]

Do you have to charge your pump after you get it out the box ????? Or is it ready to go

[@paigeyoutubes3069]

there is a battery pack plug in or a wall plug in (black cord)

[@itscollysworld1389]

Again is it ready to go ...... or do I need to charge it before first use.

[@MommaAlia]

Paige is trying to explain that the pump as you receive it from your insurance/store will only come with a wall adapter. There's no charging because there's no power without that cord. It has to be plugged in to the wall to have power. You can purchase a battery back separately to make it battery operated if that's an issue for you.

[@itscollysworld1389]

Momma Alia I understand My question was fresh out the box is it ready to go pretty much I understand the charging reply

[@NewtonsRottenApple]

I would like to set mine to max but when I do I feel like it's not as powerful as when I set it to the second setting after the middle. It sounds like the motor starts struggling on anything higher. Is this something you experience as well or do you think I got a bad pump?

[@MommaAlia]

I think I know what you're talking about. How it becomes more drawn out and almost slower? If that's not what it is I would call Medela because something may be wrong. But if that;s what you're talking about, it's unfortunately normal. I don't crank it up that high because fortunately lower suctions empty me well. If it can't I would look into a new pump momma:/

[@keilisbabys4770]

So does this pump have to be plugged in for use?

[@MommaAlia]

Yes ma'am unless you get the battery pack that's sold separately!

[@kennithpierre9179]

[@yudydavila6106]

Is the fast mode for let down? I’m confused by stimulation or the other thing you said. When I press the let down button to stimulate my milk is it suppose to be fast or slow?

[@MommaAlia]

Yep, the faster one is for letdown. The slower one is for trying to empty your breast!
