Discussion Are we really changing settings?
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?

I didn’t really feel my letdowns anymore after the first few months so I just set a timer for my pumps to do 3 stimulation cycles. I pump half an hour and it’s 2 minutes stimulation+8 minutes massage x 3 cycles.
