Medela — #1 Choice of Hospitals and Mothers

After, just getting through a panic attack because my new PISA had my milk in the tubing and under the diaphragm cap. I followed all the directions in the manual but wanted to know what happened! That old "an ounce of prevention" thing... I never would have guessed but it makes sense! Start...

I have a 7 week old daughter that refuses to latch. I am now exclusively pumping. She has a very high upper palate and doesn't like nipple shields. I tried sizes 24mm and 20mm and she didn't like either. I had great supply when i had her (8/3), i would pump 5-6 ounces per pumping session every...

I have been pumping at work for the last 9 months. I thought I had this all figured out. Now I am having trouble letting down for the pump. I have never been a great pumper and generally average 2-3 oz a sesion and have managed to get by. Now I am not even getting that. The problem is though I can feel...

I have had some luck with this. A few things helped me that may help you: 1) are you in a quiet and relaxing place while pumping? I'm an RN and I work long 12-hr shifts. If I'm sitting in my office but thinking about everything happening with my patients, I don't have a milk ejection reflex...

Im trying motilium (domperidone) for my VERY low milk supply and was wondering if any nursing mothers have tried it and what were their results. I have a 4 month old daughter and she is being fed similac and breastmilk (whatever i can manage to give her daily). We had a rough start for the first 2 months...

Has anyone else had this problem. I was able to express 2-3 oz in about 5 min the first 2 times,and im putting it together right, but now the letdown phase doesnt work and the expression only gets drops. I feel like im engorged again. I was even sent a replacement pump and its having the same problems...

i have a question and hope someone here can help me with it. i am using a pump-in-style babckpack that is about 3 years old, on its second child. i am having an issue with the pump switching back into the letdown mode after it has switched into the expression mode! when this happens, if i push the let...

I have a 4 month old. I have returned back to work and I'm trying to pump. I get 4 to 5 oz in three pumps. I have been trying to find info on the correct way to pump and foods and things to help bring up my milk supply. I don't let down sometimes until 5 or more mintues into pumping. I pump for...

I'm in same boat, but what my lc told me was to empty breast after each feeding. If baby is still not latching. Make sure your pumping at least 8 times in 24 hours. 10 is preferred. 6 times is minimum. I am also taking Fenugreek ( it's a supplement and need to pick up another one called Lactation...

I feel your pain! My baby was 10 weeks early. I pumped like a mad woman while she was in the ICU. I built up a reserve and now that she is home and nursing constantly, I find myself depleting the reserve. She is inefficient at sucking effectively. It could take her an hour and a half to get 1 ounce....
