Exclusive Pumping

Hey Pumping Warriors! ⏰ Whether you’re exclusively pumping, combo feeding, or just adding in a few sessions a day—your schedule matters. Staying on track with your pumping sessions is one of the most powerful ways to protect your milk supply and support your goals. 💛

Here are 5 reasons why staying on a pumping schedule matters:

1. Protects Your Supply – Your body produces based on demand. Skipping sessions can signal your body to slow down milk production.

2. Prevents Engorgement & Clogs – Pumping regularly helps keep your breasts comfortably drained and reduces the risk of clogged ducts or mastitis.

3. Supports Long-Term Goals – A consistent routine makes it easier to reach your short-term and long-term pumping milestones.

4. Boosts Hormone Regulation – Regular pumping helps maintain your prolactin levels, the hormone that stimulates milk production.

Hello! I'm planning to exclusively pump for my second child -- I had a rough breastfeeding/pumping journey with my first and want to prepare more this time around. I got the spectra 2 from my insurance and plan to bring it with me to the hospital to use right after birth (next month). Do we start the 30 minutes/240 rule of pumping right away after birth? I know it takes a while for milk to come in so I'm a little confused. I've also had someone recommend a manual colostrum collector kit...so not sure what to do. Also, is this in one of the course lessons and perhaps I missed it?

Thank you!!

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

Hey yall,

I have rhe Madela in style and im stating to think its not doing enough for me im at the last level and the suction isn't there.

I was measured by a LC and was told i was a 21mm?

Yet when im done pimping they are so swollen they get sucked in all the way-.-

Anyone else have an issue with this pump
