Mom Talk: Pumping Day (with Freemies!)

[@1sierraonefour]

I watched your video a little more than a year ago while on maternity leave. Had to come back to thank you so much for the down-to-earth, detailed tips and demonstrations that really helped to make my pumping at work (prep, set-up, cup management) a better experience than it had been in prior times. Filming on a day when your sleep and/or stress wasn’t perfect helped ease my anxiety about being able to produce as much as baby needed. You are amazing; my inspiration!Thanks for being real. Hope all is well.

[@liannevalle]

I know what you mean! That's why I wanted to do this video because 6 years ago, I couldn't find any videos of pumping moms who couldn't pump enough milk each day. All the moms at the time seemed to have ample supply and that was not me at all. It was almost a daily struggle to pump enough milk each day so I had to figure out how to make it work because it was really important to me. And thankfully, I was able to pump until the end. :)

[@tiffanyhair2175]

This was probably the best pumping at work video I've seen!!

[@liannevalle]

Thanks for your kind words!

[@khadijahahmad6886]

I love how realistic your video are. ☺️ Thank you for this support! I have juatvstarted working and noticing the reduction of my milk supply...

[@liannevalle]

There are sooo many factors that can cause a reduction in milk supply. It's hard. I struggled with it daily but somehow made it to the end. You can do it!

[@glammedbynatalia]

I live the cups but the regular bottle and flanges works best for me to empty. I’m able to massage down the milk. That’s why I don’t get as much milk when I use The cups

[@nickcentralvalleyslabs8375]

Thanks for this video! It’s really going to help me be ready when I do go back to work. I was overwhelmed but watching this gave me a peace of mind and an idea on how I should organize things. Thank you so much! -kelly

[@liannevalle]

You're very welcome Kelly! Just want to help all mothers. It's a tough job!

[@NatLili1]

This is the best pumping working mama I’ve seen!!!! Thank you so much. Wow thank you for sharing!

[@liannevalle]

Peeping in here to send a huge thank you for your incredibly kind comment! I appreciate it very much! Sending love to you & your family!

[@danicier]

Just wanted to thank you for this video... I ended up buying these cups and have been able to maintain my pumping at work and continue to breastfeed at home for the first month back to work... And although it is challenging, I know it's best and i am going to continue to try to do it until my girl is a year old! Thank you for this video!!

[@liannevalle]

You're very welcome! I'm sure you rocked it!! Sending love to you & your family!

[@insidethemindpi]

You can also hand express while you pump to empty them more. This will allow you to produce more milk before you pump again.

[@liannevalle]

Great tip!

[@JusttheAlbrights]

I exclusively BF and have dreaded going back to work and starting pumping. This video made me so much better about my return. You're doing a great job!

[@liannevalle]

I'm sure rocked it also!! Thank you for your kind words!

[@FizahFlowerPatch]

The best pumping at work video! You have eased my worries and inspired me at the same time. Thank you.

[@NextLevelWomanhood]

This gives me realistic hope. You see all these freezer pictures full of milk, so in my mind I need to do the same. But after researching the benefits of fresh milk (and it's longevity) vs months old freezer milk your approach makes much more common sense. THANK YOU for a great video with Great information.

[@segsb7085]

Hi Keeya, I really hope you see this...I know its been a year!! Please can you give me more info on the longevity of fresh milk? Thanks..I am also always intimidated by the huge amts of milk I see in other videos and I have read that fresher milk is better than freezer stored milk..I would like to know how long fresh milk stays out if you dont mind..thanks!

[@rahbid121]

Segs B hi, I watched a video on that, basically a blogger said she follows the 5 rule that her lactation consultant advised her to follow. Keep it in room temp for no more than 5 hours, in the fridge for no more than 5 days and in the freezer for no more than 5 months. Hope this helps

[@liannevalle]

You're welcome!! I'm sure you rocked it!

[@dyamohamad-ceoofkorang-kor8031]

omg this particular video gave me a lot of memories with my daughter! and now shes already 6years old. ❤️❤️

[@liannevalle]

Beautiful! My son in this video is turning 9 this summer! Times flies doesn't it?! But I'm still in the toddler stage at the moment. Had my 3rd child - an almost 2-year-old daughter. 🤗 Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment. I appreciate it very much. Love to you & your family!

[@ldubb317]

Great video and wonderful tips! I'll be having to go back to work after 6 weeks once my daughter is here and Iv been looking for pumping videos for working mamas and all I really find is SAHM videos. Thank you!

This is the best pumping and working video I've seen. Illustrate the entire day for me. I just had my second child and I didn't even do that great with pumping at work with the first. I didn't know you can combine breastmilk together later once they're cold. I wish my work place has better accommodations for pumping mothers.

[@liannevalle]

Thank you for your kind words!

[@rebeccabonner6542]

You don’t even want to know what I had to do in 2008. This is better but could be even better.

Haha! I feel like the pumping world has changed SUBSTANTIALLY since I filmed this video 6 years ago!

[@rubykhan8728]

I have lot of problem to feed my baby bcz my body is not producing milk since my baby born, I already visited many doctors and used lot of medicine, plz tell me solutions and help me. Plz plz plz plz

[@liannevalle]

Oh no! I know how you feel. I experienced ALLLLL the breastfeeding problems with my first child. I hope it has gotten better. :)

[@jessiree3973]

This video has been very helpful. (: I've been pretty nervous about building my stash before I return to work in a month and my job is very active and demanding so it's good to see how beneficial your routine is.

[@liannevalle]

Glad it helped! Sending love to you & your family!

[@jessicasaroha2875]

This is one of the best pumping while at work videos! I love how you also included prepping milk bottles for the babysitter. So helpful, thank you! Just out of curiosity, have you ever put the freemie cups in the fridge in between pump sessions to avoid having to wash them at work?

[@liannevalle]

I did try that but I didn't like the idea of still having milk residue on them when I had to pump for my next session. Plus I didn't like using cold cups 😂🥶 I felt more comfortable rinsing and air drying in between sessions.

[@syazilamohamedshah7100]

I’m watching this video over & over again. It give me confident that not all mom can pump with high supply. But the most i like about it is on how u prep the bottle. Just know abt the d-drop thank u ☺️

[@liannevalle]

Thank you for your kind comment! Sorry for being a few YEARS late lol. I never pumped huge amounts - even with my 2nd and 3rd child! But they are all healthy with good weight. Sending love to you & your family! ♥️

[@nsradhiyah]

I'm going back to work in 2 weeks and I wished I've watched this earlier. But then again its still not too late for me to build up a stash before I do. Thanks for this video. Really motivated me to continue with this breastfeeding journey while being a working mom.

[@liannevalle]

Thank you for your kind comment! What I've learned in life is that nothing is ever too late. 😉

[@BDrop2]

Great video! Thanks for posting. As a soon-to-be working/pimping mama this provided great insight. Thanks for sharing your mama wisdom!

[@liannevalle]

You're very welcome! Thank you for your kind comment!

[@curlyQ406]

Your work gives you a lactation room?!? Omg so lucky!

[@liannevalle]

Yes, it was a privilege. & then I changed jobs & they provided an even more beautiful pumping room (I think I put a picture of it in my life update video). All establishments should have a nice room available for, not just pumping mothers, but all mothers. We could always use a silent space. 😆

[@annnjoki9630]

Whose watching this 2018....I was pumping and barely nothing came out was so disappointed then watched this where she has like one full bottle after each pump kinda gives me hope Mich love from Africa...

[@tabathamerrell3678]

How do you warm up your cold milk before giving it to baby?

[@liannevalle]

Plunging the frozen milk or thawed milk in a bottle in hot water for 5 mins worked for my son.

[@angieagustin7556]

hallo may i ask some questions, but please replay me. Do you always wash all material pumping after pumping session? while you need 3 times pumping session, it's so be bothered, isn't it? may i if just put it in refrigerator after pumping sess until 3 times and i washed it in the last part?

[@liannevalle]

You can put the parts in the fridge between sessions but I personally didn't like the feeling of residual milk and cold cups on my skin 😅🥶 I was more comfortable with rinsing the milk in hot water and air drying. But I would deep clean and sanitize the parts when I got home.

[@cinderellacircle]

Definitely getting the freemie pumps, I started working as a nurse again and having to take my top off for the huge flanges is a pain

[@liannevalle]

Wow! Supermama!

[@monicacastorena6157]

Hello! I already tried Freemie collection cups, but they got milk in the tubes. I thought I was moving a lot, so I tried again without any movement and it happened again. Have you had this problem?

[@kedenpanme2020]

What is D drop? What is the use of d drop

[@liannevalle]

It is Vitamin D. Breast milk doesn't have Vitamin D so pediatricians usually recommend giving them to breastfed babies.

[@kedenpanme2020]

Thank you.usuallybi give vitamin direct toy baby by dropper

[@bloomwithjessika4960]

I wish I had enough time to eat well! I have 30 min to pump AND eat! It goes so fast! I'm blessed to produce more than enough for my little guy though so I guess I can't complain.

[@liannevalle]

Hi Jessika! That's why I loved the freemie cups! They are hands free and I don't have to change out of my clothes. So I ate my lunch and pumped at the same time A LOT haha

[@paujabitha]

I LOVE your video, cause you're not getting 32onz like in other videos and it makes me feel that there's nothing wrong with me. Also you're so calm when you speak. Thank you!!

[@shemeciahaskell322]

She only got 2oz combined from both breasts with a hospital grade pump which is supposed to stimulate more milk production! That's a very low output I get 4-5 oz per per pump on average from each breast and about 7-8 oz combined and that's a more average amount. She was also drinking the Mother's Milk tea which contains fennugreek which stimulates more milk and she still doesn't produce much. I drink that as well and I currently drink about 2 cups even though the recommended amount is at least 3 cups per day because if I drink more both breasts get engorged and will leak.

[@monti42]

She admits to not pumping as often as she should so that will definitely decrease your milk supply. If you’re consistent with pumping every 2-3hrs on top of taking any additional milk supplements, then you should be collecting at least 4-5oz per breast.. then if you are directly breastfeeding like what she does in some of the video, then I would suggest using a manual breast pump on the other breast to collect any leaking milk, then pump again 20 minutes after breastfeeding to completely empty your breast...it’s all about tricking your body to believing you need more milk! She did good, but if she used some of these tips, she would have seen a huge difference in her milk supply.

[@liannevalle]

There is never ever anything wrong with you! ♥️ You know you the best. & even more important, you know your child the best also. Trust yourself always & do what's right for YOU.

[@paujabitha]

[@missris380]

I have a question, my baby is 5 weeks old and I’m making about 2.5 oz everytime I pumped, is my milk consider low or normal supply ?? Also how to begin making a stash if I only pumped that much ? I usually pump and fed to my baby right away. Thanks

[@kellyjohnson5814]

I’m getting ready to be a new mom and I want to try going back to work part time could I nurse from the breast and pump for my baby?

[@liannevalle]

Yes! I always wanted to have at least a week's worth of frozen milk stashed away. So to prep for that and my return to work, I would nurse my son on one breast while pumping the other side, which is what I would freeze. I did this arrangement once a day for about a month before I had to return to work so that I had my stash.

[@RashondaYanic]

I'm still pregnant so this will all be new for me. I'm literally already anxious about not being able to pump enough. It also worries me if I don't pump enough each day so that my baby has enough while I'm working. I feel like I need to have a bunch of milk stored in my freezer to feel okay.

[@liannevalle]

I'm sure you knocked it out of the park! 🤗

[@shortyshortibc02]

So just to let you know...your video and encouragement helps me when I sit down to pump. So thank you for this!

[@liannevalle]

This warms my heart - glad it helped! Sending love to you & your family!

[@rahbid121]

Hi, thank you for such an informative video. Found it very helpful. I have a question... Once you transfer the milk from the fridge to the feeding bottle (Tommie tippee bottle) do you feed it to the baby chilled or can you heat it up? If so how does the heating process work? Thank you xx

[@liannevalle]

My caretakers would heat up the bottle by plunging it in hot water for 5 mins. Swirl & test the milk before giving to baby - but usually it would be perfect temperature doing it that way.

[@brittanysullivan2395]

Wishing my job was like this. So hard to pump with my job. Have to pump when I'm driving (I'm a truck driver) and going back to work 2 weeks postpartum has really screwed my milk supply. Hopefully my doctor can give me something increase my milk supply :-(

Wow major kudos to you! What a wonderful mother you are!!!

[@rsarahi14]

Awww you totally just put a downer on my hopes to breastfeed and go back to work lmao I clean houses and it takes us like 2-2:30 hours to clean.. get in the car and drive to the next house.. normally no more than 15-20 minutes in between houses 😭😭

[@juliebortle7180]

rsarahi14 that should be plenty of time. Just maybe add another pump at nighht to help out. 2-5 am you get the most milk 😊

[@rsarahi14]

Julie Bortle thank you! My babygirl was born 4 days ago and has jaundice and my right breast is clogged or something because she seems to get so frustrated and I tried pumping and not a lot came out... I’m so upset. Why can’t everything just be good and doctors say everything is great! Congrats! 😔

[@randomlyboring8358]

I pump that much each time.. For me, it's not that low since i used to pump 10 mls only.. So for a stash to keep.. Yeah.. Sad.. I'm hoping it increases.

[@liannevalle]

Thank you for your kind comment!

[@Becizzle]

wow! my son drinks way more milk than that. I could never really pump much. it's crazy that 3-4 ounces was enough at that age.

[@liannevalle]

Yup, used that amount for all three of my children. BUT I did have to nurse on demand when I was home with them so sometimes I would be nursing for hours at a time. They were definitely making up their ounces. I'd just chill on the couch and watch something or work on the computer while my babies drank.

[@yarimarcastillo6947]

I’m 5 days postpartum & I make 4oz, I increased my milk supply just by pumping every 2 hours, and stay hydrated 💕💕

Did you use the freemies the whole year that you pumped? I'm going back to work soon and worried about the time it will take for me to pump. Thanks for your video it's so informative and making me less anxious!

[@liannevalle]

Yes I did! I kept the Ameda pump parts in my car just in case I ever forgot to bring the Freemie cups to work. On the rare occasion that I forgot my freemie cups, I would use the Ameda pump parts and they just could not compare to the Freemies.

[@wellaannsalvador8356]

Being a first time mom aiming to breastfeed my baby as long as I can, but I don't know when is the best time to start pumping and storing my milk. And also what type of nipple bottle should i use. By the way my baby is now a month and a half and few months from now i will be going back to work

Darnetta Thomas I’m wondering the same! I have a Spectra pump but the Freemie cups seem so convenient

[@linds100285]

This video is great! I’m returning to work in three weeks and the thought of having to pump at work is pretty intimidating. I’ve been wondering about the Freemie cups as a work option and I notice that you are using a different brand pump with the cups. Did you have to get an adapter kit and, if so, where did you get it? Thank you for the tips!

[@liannevalle]

[@inthujamega8662]

So do you sterilize the parts for each pumping session..

[@liannevalle]

Nope, just rinsed with hot water and air dry in between sessions. Deep cleaned and sanitized when I got home.

[@maries9478]

Did you use this when you started building your stash or just when you returned to work?

[@liannevalle]

I used a Medela pump very briefly in the beginning (loaned from a friend), and then the Ameda pump kid to build my stash. I purchased the Freemie cups about two weeks after I went back to work because I wanted something more convenient - no changing clothes and all hands free!

I just would rinse them every so often. Boiled them maybe once or twice the entire 13ish-months that I used the pump.

[@Queeton]

Such a great video! Thanks for sharing! I think my low supply is due to not eating enough calories. How much of the tea did you drink each day?

[@liannevalle]

You're welcome! I drank just one cup a day because that's honestly all I had time for.

[@janieramirez7169]

How many bottles and ounces did your baby feed on in a 24 hour day? Do u wake up in the middle of the night to breastfeed? That's so awesome how your work is breast feeding friendly

[@liannevalle]

I did 3 bottles of 3.5-4oz while I was at work, & then I nursed on demand when I got home. So sometimes, I would be sitting on the couch for hours after I got home while he nursed. We co-slept so he nursed throughout the night also. Yes, it was a privilege to have a pumping room. Sending you & your family love!

[@SL5991.]

Do you use D drop because you dont directly nurse him? I been taking Calcium plus vitamin D3 softgels and I dont work, breastfeed my baby everyday and dont often pump. Is it the same way with you drop the vitamin D in his milk? Or should I also do both D drop and taking vitamin myself???

[@Legal.Knievel]

I know this comment is 3 years old but for anyone else reading. It doesn't matter if you nurse directly or pump. Baby still needs vitamin D drops, as breastmilk lacks vitamin D. Mom would have to take 6,400 iu of Vit D for there to be enough in breastmilk.

[@Lizbethmalagon90]

Hi 👋🏼 so first of all I want to say I feel you. My baby boy is 5 1/2 weeks old and am still on maternity leave. All the getting up at night sucks but it's so worth it. I will be going back to working one month and a half. I wish I didn't because my baby will not even be 3 months yet. I only have a 15 min lunch because I work less about 6 1/2 hours and don't think I'll get a pumping break. I'm thinking of pumping during those 15 min and hopefully my milk supply won't go down so much. I'll be feeding the baby the last time at 7:30 am and probably will get a car a/c adapter to pump on my way to work (start at 9am) and pump again at lunch 12:45 pm and get off at 3:30 and home at 4pm to feed him again. Hopefully this will workout 😕

Carlene Gunn Lol I think it's funny. We call my son "Poopie" and I told my husband "Do you realize that we refer to our son as 'shit'?..." We both laughed. So when she kept saying "The Kid" I found it funny. I'm sure she doesn't mean it in a bad way.

Brenda Galvez I know, maybe she didn't want to say his name etc.. but it's a pet peeve of mine, I know she didn't mean any harm.

Carlene Gunn my family gets on me about this, as well. It gets me when they tell me what ro reference my child. "I'll call her a kid, if it's what I like," goes through my head, as I choke on a fake smile.

[@amandaguthrie6015]

how do you use those pumps pregnant

[@mantonglee7685]

How do u like the freemie pump cups? Do they leak easily, can u move about with them on? I'm thinking about getting a set for my Medela pump.

[@jachinoy1565]

nice video :) this is my 3rd pregnancy. 1st baby I use avent I think. my 2nd baby I used freemie and I like it so much. yes I totally agree that needs to drink alot of water and its really helpful if u got hot soup :) we use also d drop as per dr. I eat lunch while I pump at that time :)

[@liannevalle]

Thanks for your kind comment!

[@shelbywillis5898]

Can you use freemies with any pump??

[@relaxbenimame]

Hi Lianne, thanks so much for your video as it gives me confidence in Freemie again. I tried using it after I purchased it not long ago but I didn't think it cleared my breast milk as much as normal shields do. May I know whether u are facing the same problem as well? Or how did you overcome that? Thank you in advance! 😄

[@liannevalle]

Glad it helped! I thought the Freemies were fine. At the time I made this video, they were one of the first hands-free options. Now there are so many hands-free options out there that are way more savvy. I had my 3rd child and ended up using the traditional Medela cups instead of the Freemies. I found that they were more effective in getting milk out. It wasn't a drastic difference in output but noticeable. So I would agree with you there. I think we just keep trying different things and figure out what works for us in the current situation.

[@minimala2253]

[@reflection_the_salon]

[@sonalpadvi7840]
