Medela PIS speed/vacuum ?

What speed and setting do you use that you find to be the most productive while pumping? I have an older pump that does not have the let down button and was wondering how I can mimic this on an older pump...

Re: Medela PIS speed/vacuum ?

  • I have an older one too. I put it on the fastest setting and after a few minutes I switch it to the slowest setting.

  • I put mine about the middle and on level 2, and usually keep it there the whole time. Occasionaly I turn to level 3, but it's always on about half or less as far as suction goes. I find it hurts more if I turn it up, and my milk comes out the same! My milk usually starts coming after only a few "pumps".
