pumping help!

Are your flanges the right size? That was my issue when I started pumping! They were too big, once I got sized and ordered the right size flange’s everything was fine!
What pump do you have?

i have the evenflo wall pump from walmart! brand new! and i have the correct sizes bc i have small nipples so i have 13mm. i just cant get a letdown while pumping and i had to hand express today just to feed her😭

I've read somewhere that warm flannel over your breasts can help with let down. Also massaging them before pumping can encourage milk to come out.

madela or spectra are the best pump brands out there. Get one of those instead of possible

oh ok, I have a Medela pump so I’m not too familiar with the evenflo one but I found this on their website

It will also take time to get a letdown with a pump. It’s a machine, not a human so the communication can take a few tries to go through if that makes sense. If flange size is correct (which I would double check and try with other sizes to see) then keep trying and playing with the settings to see. It could also be the pump itself, not every pump works for everyone. Maybe see a LC if the problem persists

I had this pump and it sucks. I had to stop using it asap.

the evenflo one sucks tho. I had to stop using it right away. It’s not a good one at all.

you couldn’t get it to work at all ??😭

no it’s literally trash.

ima cry my eyes out. wasted $150😭

return it.

if i clean it, can i ?

I do recommend the madela manual pump it’s $40 and their pump in style also is great but it’s $100 I think

i have the manual, im ab to run it w that for rn
