Another Pump Question

Ntymec

I have a Pump In Style Advance pump. My understanding is that the initial sucking is to stimulate the breast and then it switches to the let-down setting. I know to push the let-down button when I am letting down.

Here's my question: do I continue on the let-down setting even once my let-down is over? Or do I switch back to the stimulation setting at that time?

Thanks!

Keep it in the regular setting for the rest of the pumping session for regular pumping.

The let down button is to initiate a letdown.. Once you have letdown, you can push it to stop the letdown mode and start the regular suction mode.

Sometimes I will push the letdown button after about 15min of regular pumping to try to get a second letdown if I haven't already.

(P.S... Glad I could "get over myself" to answer your question).

Okay thanks ladies. I just got this new pump and I'm not pumping as much as I used to with my other pump that broke. This info helps.

I always just leave it once it switches to let down setting. I'll get another letdown or two even with it like that.

I just leave it-- although I have never heard of getting a second letdown by switching it back, I may have to try it out!

I feel like there's a story behind this that I'm missing out on.

I leave it. I get a second let down on the regular setting. I second checking the valve membranes! I get about 1oz less per session when mine get old.
