Pumping

Hey guys my baby is 7months, I nurse and fed her through bottle. As of lately when I’m pumping I can barely get anything even though milk is there. I drink water and I eat like crazy but the milk won’t flow for me to pump it out. I use the medela handheld pump. Any tips??????????????

New parts for your pump maybe ! 🤔

I changed the membrane. Anything else I should change?

Hmm 🤔 no I think that’s the main part people say to change when it’s not pumping as well ?

Girl I’m struggling. I tried pumping this morning barely an ounce. My daughter nursed after and she was just fine. I’ve never been an over supplier even with my first but I always made enough. It sucks cause if I have to leave her there is no milk in the fridge 😭😭😭😭

I’m kinda in the same boat .. except I just exclusively pump but barely have a supply saved up … and am barely able to keep up with her . I just ordered new parts for my pump because I’m feeling the same as you ! I pump but feel like it’s not completely emptying me anymore .. and my supply has gone down quite a bit !

I don't pump, but the pediatrician said we could supplement with formula and my girl has been slurping it down. I still nurse her before each bottle, but she easily takes 2 ounce every time. I think I must have been under producing

The hospital gave me that same pump and I feel like it lost suction after a month of use. We ended up buying an electronic one.

Ok maybe I’ll get a new pump thanks guys
