Pumping at work

el_twirpo · January 2012

I'm back at work and having the hardest time getting letdowns when i pump. i've dimmed the lights in that room, plug in soothing music with headphones, taking deep breaths... of the 10 times i've tried in the past week, i've gotten a letdown only 2x.

i feel myself getting full. should i add a 4th pumping time to try to remove more milk or will that make my body think i'm adding another feeding? i'm only getting like 1.5 oz TOTAL when there's no letdown.

Have you tried hot compresses? I've found that helps sometimes. Also, looking at a picture of your baby is supposed to help. Do you keep using the letdown feature until you actually let down?
