How many oz were you pumping a day and how many oz were in your freezer when you felt comfortable donating?
Was it a one time thing (like donating a huge sum to a bank) or were you supplying directly to one baby (like a friend’s child) ? If you supplied directly, did you give from your freezer stash (like 500oz in one go) or did you give weekly based on the baby’s demand?
I’m so amazed at moms who donate milk! You guys are godsend!
I got the medela manual pump to do my MOTN pump coz in my mind, it empties faster & its quiet.
Previously i was using the philips avent brand and i loved it, but since the medela has great reviews, i wanted to try that one thinking that it’ll be even better. So with the philips avent, i would get like ~7oz in like 10-15 minutes. The medela, took so long to get letdown and i think i spent like 20+ minutes only to get 5oz 😑 I use the same size flange as i used with philip avents and with my main spectra, i switched the valve to the white kind similar to spectra.
What am i doing wrong? Or does it just not work for everyone?
