Staying Consistent

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.

Question about starting exclusively pumping from birth...

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!!

Hello, this is our free group that is open for anyone to ask questions. Our general recommendation if planning to start pumping from birth is to start with the 240-minute rule which is pumping every 3 hours for 30 minutes for the first 12 weeks with the right pump, flange, products, and schedule. Harvesting colostrum (collecting colostrum) prior to birth is not something we recommend as it can cause pre-term labor and miscarriage. You would want to get approval from your doctor before that understands your history and background. Hope this helps.

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.

I know waking up in the middle of the night to pump can feel challenging, but remember why you’re doing this—you’re providing liquid gold for your baby! Each drop of breast milk is packed with nutrients, antibodies, and love, and your commitment is making a huge difference in their growth and health. You’re a superhero, even if the world is fast asleep.


When it feels tough, just take it one pump at a time and remind yourself that this is temporary, but the benefits will last a lifetime. Your efforts are seen, they are appreciated, and they are worth it. You’ve got this!


Here are 5 tips to help you get up for those nighttime pumping sessions:


1. Set an Alarm with a Motivating Tone: Use a gentle or motivational alarm sound and label it with an inspiring message like “For my baby!” to remind you why you’re doing this.

Im catching up with this challenge! I’m still on task- pumping at 12a and 6a for baby 🥰 this week, I use my time at the pump to laugh and do something positive for myself. I practice my Spanish on Duolingo and watch an episode of Pop the Balloon or find Love on YouTube 🙃😂 I have really enjoyed making a snuggly space for pumping- I use a heating pad across my chest and a warm fuzzy blanket in my lap, give myself a nice snack and drink warm tea. I’m actively trying to enjoy what I can of the experience ☺️
