barely any output pumping
hi all! my LO is 10 weeks old and in 10 more weeks i return to work so wanted to start working on a freezer supply for my husband to feed while i’m gone, and also to make sure i know what i’m doing so i don’t stay engorged while at work. i’ve never pumped much because in the newborn days it just felt impossible to find time, so i’ve just always put baby directly to breast. this week i’ve added a pump session in the evening and want to incorporate at least one overnight. but this week yielded very little milk.
i have the motif aura glow wearable pumps, and a medela harmony manual pump. the motif is what i used all week. my nipples measure at 15mm so i use a 17mm flange, i use a little olive oil for lubricant, and i’ve played around with different settings to see what gives me more output, but both breasts barely gave me 1oz each. any tips/tricks that may help? is there something i’m missing?
