Pumping!

I feel like I have the same thoughts with my Elvie pump, honestly with all the pumps, it’s so hard, I think just trial and error. Also when did you have the baby? Sometimes it takes times to come in and for your milk to regulate but consistency helps.

I also heard using a massager or heat compress before pumping helps the milk flow.

I have the s9 pro and I get more milk when I use the setting with the 3 fast and 1 slow pumps instead of all slow

I have the s12 and I keep it at about 6 for 10 minutes then 8 for another 10

@Alexis I had baby 2 weeks ago!

@Rachel i have 12, is 3 the teardrop or heart?

@Angelita tear drop or heart or both?

@Hanaa the heart

@stephanie thank you! i’ll try🥰

I have the s9 pro and use it on stimulation mode (❤️) for like 10 mins then switch to 💧 for another 20 mins till it turns off. Both modes i use them on level 1 and i get emptied pretty well. You could also switch back n forth every 10 mins to stimulate letdowns. I only use the other levels when i can't seem to get the milk out completely cuz the suction is longet and slower but stronger

Do you have the right flange fitting?

I have the S9 depending on how my nipples feel lol I start off at the 3rd level and work my way up throughout the session. The session is 20 mins I’ve been getting 3oz out. I honestly feel as if hand pumps are wayyy better. I get soo much more milk out when using my hand pump.
