    It would be great to do a video on how to end you're milk supply when you are done pumping/breastfeeding.

    A tip I got from the sales lady when i bought my pump was to rinse my pump parts and store them in the fridge between sessions then wash and sterilise them at night - I'm not even back to work yet but this has really helped me hugely

    • @NewLittleLife

      With the fridge hack, we usually don’t rinse them. The idea being you don’t want to introduce any outside bacteria from the water, just leave the breastmilk on. Here is some additional info for you: www.genuinelactation.com/blog-for-breastfeeding-families/the-refrigerator-flange-hack

    One thing I wish I did was learn how to use a breast pump before I gave birth. I went back to work at 6 weeks post partum and while in the hospital, I was only helped with how to breastfeed. At the pediatrician, the IBCLC helped with the latch because I was so sore and it was all I could think of during the visits. I waited until I was 2 weeks post partum to start building a freezer stash (which I have learned was “too early”) while nursing exclusively. My first SEVERAL sessions were in stimulation mode because I had no idea how to use the pump. I’m hitting my 1 year mark and will go as long as I can but it has been an experience that I will cherish.

    I would add focus on your physical health too. You may think you need this or that to boost your milk supply but if your body is not healthy is going to be hard to produce milk. Sometimes you need to balance your vitamins and diet and that will help more than the viral magical pill on social media.

    Is there any point in starting to pump again when babe is already 15 months? I stopped at 12months due to constant thrush and mastitis but I do miss it at times but is baby too old now? I still make small amounts of milk

    I breastfeed every 1-3 hours and pump every 6 hours. I've been building up supply for going back to work.

      @@NewLittleLife I have about 10-20 ounces put away each day. So I think so? I'm new to breastfeeding and thankful he is willing and able to breastfeed during the day. At night I pump and bottle feed. I exclusively pumped every 2 hours during the day with our first so this is all new to me. I didn't pump at night with our first, but I'm trying to push on and continue pumping when he gets a bottle this time. Helps me stay on his schedule, have bottles from that time, and keep supply up. I worked at home doing a desk job with our first. I will be returning to a busy clinic this time so I won't get to pump as much. I'll try for every 3 hours.

    Allison !!! I'm so confused. I sized for a 19 flange, but I get way more output when I use a super big size like 28 🤦🏾‍♀️ why is that?

    • @NewLittleLife
      @NewLittleLife  8 місяців тому +2

      Good question! It can take a little time to adjust to a new size. Also, if it’s possibly not quite right still it can create difficult output. Pumping with a huge size like 28 isn’t great for your tissue long term and isn’t like to empty fully long term either. Keep experimenting and be patient when adjusting sizing. Are you working with a professional to get it figured out?

    I’m struggling with a huge wave of anxiety induced by the vibration of my pumps. Can you recommend pumps that are more gentle or that don’t vibrate at all? A wearable or portable would be best.

      I love the MomCozy M5. It has a stimulation mode, a combo stimulation/expression mode, and an expression mode. This is my third child. Pumping was awful for me first few kids.. but this time with the M5 and correct size and better understanding has helped. I also use the Haakaa on the opposite boob while he breastfeeds. The haakaa let down is building a freezer storage for me in addition to M5 MomCozy pump.

    I started with a wearable momcozy pump cause it was all I had. Just today, I received a medela pump in style, and I don't think it expressed my milk as well. I did have it in a lower setting because the lady said I didn't need to have it high... I usually used the momcozy on the verge of hurting. Is there a difference in the power of suction, or is it the difference in the pumps?

    • @NewLittleLife

      Which MomCozy pump? They’re all different. And feel free to turn up your Medela PISA, that might help.
