How long are you pumping for? I personally find pumping for 30 minutes empties me fully and then my body will work to fill back up because it thinks it's not producing enough, I do 15 on massage and 15 on pump and that works well for me or even a hand held pump with the quick quick long pump method x *edit I'm 5 days pp and also hemorrhaged*
@Theresa around 15 minutes a side but i feel like my milk stops coming after 10...do you still keep pumping even when it seems like it has stopped?
@Samantha so you get multiple let downs, when you feel it's stopped then you switch to massage mode to stimulate another let down and once you get a let down you switch back to regular pumping
@Sam no baby wont latch. Im aiming for.ebery 2-3hrs nownand 2 pumps at night. Did notice i got more at 4am now I know why thank you!
@Theresa didnt know that thank you very much i will try that during next pump
@Samantha Don't forget lots and lots of water and protein in your diet too!
I've heard porridge is apparently good to help but I've never done it before as I only found out this time I'm pregnant it's suppose to help. Before with my older children I use to massage my breast before I fed baby or expressed and that help a little x
