SAVE THIS ONE, PUMPING MAMAS!!! No matter what trends and hacks become popular on social media (some just give me the heebie-jeebies), I'll always believe the only way to truly resolve pumping problems is to understand the root cause of the issue. Is it blocked ducts? Improper fl**ge sizing? Anatomy? Decreased milk supply?
After seeing hundreds of moms like you for pumping concerns, I have found the most common complaint I hear is that supply has "dropped" based on lower pumping yields. This typically happens around the time a mom returns to work, and it can really contribute to a lot of anxiety around feeding and pumping.......even leading some moms to abandon pumping before they reach their goals. What I often FIND through investigation is that the milk is still there, but it's not coming OUT during pumping!! Eeek! How utterly frustrating!!! 😠
How to resolve this issue? Spoiler Alert: The problem is the LETDOWN REFLEX, not the milk supply. Sound familiar? DM me for more info!!
