I'm almost 5 weeks pp and have been EP for a few days less than that. I mainly use my spectra s1 and love it but I really don't know much about the settings. I've been following a guide I found online but im just wondering what settings others use. Thanks!💖
I'm 3 weeks pp and almost 3 weeks into my EP journey and I keep seeing videos online saying that if you turn massage mode back on once milk flow slows then you'll get another let down. That's not happening for me, am I doing something wrong? I'm already feeling a little down because I'm not making enough for baby and it seems that my supply is stuck at about 2-3 oz per pump. Is it possible my supply has already regulated at 3 weeks and I just cant get anything else out of a pump?
I'm 2 weeks pp and i pump every time baby eats which works out to every 2 hours during the day and 3 hours at night. We've been on this schedule because she dropped about 10% of her weight at birth due to oral ties at birth but she's now above her birth weight so her ped said she could do one 4 hour stretch at night and 2.5-3 hours the rest of the time, unless she's hungry before then. So do I just keep on pumping when she eats or do I need to do so more often? I didnt breast feed with my first so this is all so new to me and I don't want to do anything to affect my supply because we're almost to the point where she's all on breast milk.
I'm a little over a week pp and have been pumping since last Thursday or Friday. Today's the first day that im saving up my milk all day in order for her to eat on tomorrow, I'm thinking I'll have enough for about half of her bottles. At what point did your supply increase enough that you were able to stop supplementing, if you were able to? I formula fed my first baby so this is all new to me.
What bras do you recommend for pumping? It's looking like I'm going to be exclusively pumping and I want a good bra that doesn't cost a small fortune
For reference I have both a spectra and the medela freestyle.
