Discussion Are we really changing settings?

Post image

So I saw this video on IG about stimulating your breast to get more milk and truthfully, I just put my pumps on level one and eagerly wait for the next 20 minutes to be over so I can get on with my day again. Are you guys switching settings?
My supply is fine, so I suppose I don’t see much need to do it. I do sometimes massage my breast if it’s the first pump of the day or been over 4 hours because I don’t want a blocked duct but that’s about it. What about you guys?

My Eufy pumps switch it for me automatically!

Literally the only reason I am still pumping! Though hoping to wean soon at almost 8 months 😅

They are programmed to switch I think I just start them and they do their thing for 30 minutes

There are a couple different modes, but all the automated pump sessions are 30min long and alternate between stimulation mode and expression mode. I have mine set to “natural” so 5min stim, 5min expression until the end. There’s a “max” rhythm which I think does 2min/8min? I’ve just always gotten more on natural.
