You want to chose a size that lets your nipple move freely without rubbing on the sides, it shouldn’t be so big that it allows more than a little of your areola to pull in to the chamber either. Some women need a different size for each side and that’s ok 👍🏽

How strong should the suction be during letdown? I was using the freemie, but it wasnt working for me, so I got this. But I always had the speed on high, which was the fast suckling cycle, and I had the suction at a 5 (it starts at 10 being the weakest suction) and sometimes even went down to 3. But I didn’t know if the letdown phase was supposed to be a soft suckle or strong suckle. I have such a hard time pumping, and I have to exclusively pump because my daughter won’t latch. Sometimes I get 1.5 Oz and sometimes I get 4-5 Oz. So I’m doing something wrong and I just can’t figure out what it is. I thought maybe I had my suction too strong, because my nipples would swell up. So in my mind, I thought possibly it was too strong, restricting milk flow because they were kind of swelling up. But when I do it at a softer suction, I don’t get as much milk 😭😩 I’m trying to refrain from putting her on formula. But at the rate I’m going, I may end up having to💔
@KassiReyes
3 жыл бұрын
Hi Carissa, The suction shouldn't ever be so strong that is causes you discomfort and the cycles should be quicker for the let down ( around 70 like I mention in the video). For the expression mode I usually recommend around 54 for the cycles (you can play around with this to see what gives you better results) and possibly a stronger suction in expression phase as tolerated without causing pain. Having a proper fitting flange is also crucial for comfort and milk extraction. Your nipple shouldn't rub on the sides of the flange and if it is too big, too much of your areola can get pulled in and not optimize milk removal.

@@KassiReyes okay thank you! I just bought the spectra, so the one I was using didn’t have the same settings. So I think that’s where I got confused, because on the one I have- the lower the setting, the stronger the suction. But thank you for responding, I really appreciate it!

This may be dumb question, how long do women normally pump for?

There are no dumb questions. It depends! Some women never pump at all and only feeding baby directly at breast/chest, some exclusively pump, some do a combination of both. You can pump as long as you'd like to keep giving your baby your pumped milk. :) Since each family's goals are different, the amount of time they pump for is different too.

Any time I start my pump it suctions then stops. It counts like 11,22,33,44,55,66,77 and then stops? I have no idea what’s wrong

Hi! Oh no. That is definitely not supposed to happen. I would reach out to Spectra’s customer service. Let us know if you figure it out or if the help you fix it
