8 Month Supply Dip
My daughter is 8.5 months old and I’m suddenly struggling with supply and letdowns. I use a Spectra and lately I feel like I only get milk when I’m on cycle 70 (massage mode). Once I switch to expression mode, output slows way down or almost stops.
I’ve been trying to increase hydration and pumping frequency, but I still feel like I’m fighting for every letdown. I can sometimes trigger another letdown if I switch back to cycle 70, but I feel like I’m doing something wrong because I thought expression mode was supposed to be the “main” pumping mode.
Has anyone else experienced this with a Spectra? Did you stay in massage mode longer, use different cycle/vacuum settings, replace parts, change flange sizes, etc.? I’d love any tips because I’m starting to stress about my supply.
