I am an RN IBCLC. I rarely ever recommend it. I agree if I do, it must be short term & with a strategic purpose & then only after working with a mom to optimize use of her pump & letdown. Great video! Validates what I do in my practice!
I am so happy to hear this! It can be a good technique when it’s purposeful, so glad that concept came across in the video. Keep doing the great work that you do!!
@@NewLittleLife I have no idea! It’s like I’m trying to increase my supply with this oversuggested approach so why do I end up with clogged ducts and less milk 😭 it becomes an endless cycle of always trying to increase my supply (I’m an EP twin ftm!)
Hey, this just happened to me too! Had to have massage to unclog my sore and swollen breast. Well, the pumping output didn't seem to change much since I powerpump for a week, I do get letdown from the other breast that I'm dbf-ing my baby (I have noticed that that's not happening for a while).
How do I find the video about let downs? I only have one let down right off the bat when I pump but can't seem to get a second letdown no matter how long I pump. Hoping the video on let downs can help!
Nicu mom here with a 28 wk premie, 3 wks postpartum and have very little milk output. I do feel like i am just throwing everything at the wall to see what sticks. Power pumping was suggested to get get more stimulation to try and help my brain know that i had the baby. I feel like i have so many odds against me and successfully breastfeeding. I still have hope and will continue to try until i feel i have exhausted all options.
Power pumping definitely does help with more stimulation, I’m so sorry you’re trying all the things with minimal success, it’s so hard. Your dedication is amazing. How can I help?
I was in your exact boat momma. We are almost 6 Mos post partum now and I have a full 24-28oz per day exclusive pumping supply it's a long hard road but it is worth it
Yes, I do really like the unimom opera! Check out this video: Which pumps are most similar to Spectra S1 and S2? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dwXfH7cnB7A.html
