Hi all, I’m 4 weeks postpartum and started pumping 2 weeks ago due to supply not meeting my hungry baby’s demands. Using a spectra s2 and currently averaging around 20 ounces in a 24 hour period. I find it takes me at least 40 minutes of pumping to get all the milk out - I have to keep going back and forth between each breast to stimulate little let downs. I get nipple blanching so find I can’t go for a really strong suction to make the process go quicker. Anyone else have this issue? As each pump takes a long time, I’m hoping up find a good wearable that I can use for at least some of the pumps. Has anyone had success increasing supply with a good wearable? Would love recommendations! Thanks

Something could be tweaked with your pump, flange, products, and schedule to help you effectively and efficiently drain breasts of available milk as well as learn to pump based on your body. Pumps are not one size fits all and should be tailored to meet the needs of your body. We offer consults for assistance at www.pumpwithpurpose.com/consults
I would highly recommend getting lactation care to develop a plan with you to ensure you can reach your goals.
