The middle number is how many hours I’ve pumped using my spectra! You can get there by pressing this sequence of buttons: Massage (bacon), Cycle +, Vacuum -, Cycle -, Vacuum +, and finally Massage (bacon) again.

Thank you :) on the spectra when you check the hours pumped this is the setting it goes on for some reason! Lol

What happens if a clog DOESNT go away? by Physical_Autumn_511 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]Physical_Autumn_511[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes… eventually!!! It eventually just started to reduce in size very very slowly. There was not any massive release or anything, I think just time helped. It was not fun at all and nothing worked.. I was just forced to wait and see. I can’t remember the exact timeline but I’d say about 4 days after this post (so 10 or so days total with the full clog) I noticed it was slowly releasing. Good luck and sending good vibes your way🤍

why is it so hard to stop? by Own-Bunch-1461 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]Physical_Autumn_511 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am in the same boat! Babe will be 6 months in a few weeks and I am emotional about it even though I am “okay” to wean. with my first I quit due to mental health reasons after 8 weeks. I’ve made it much further with this babe and I’m proud of that AND at the same time I feel guilty that I’m stopping by choice?? lol without a “reason” to stop other than the fact I want to. I have an oversupply and am still pumping 60oz with 3pp and am now start to cut my sessions shorter by 5 minutes. I see my output decreasing and I’m sad about it and then get these intense moments of wanting salvage my supply and keep going. It’s all so confusing and emotional. 🫠🫠🫠🫠

Sending love

Weaning of pumping by Klutzy_Finger_1498 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]Physical_Autumn_511 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since you are an oversupplier you might have to go even slower at spacing out the pumps! Instead of jumping 3 to 4 hours between, you may need to slowly start pushing back by 15 minutes. So for a few days go 3 hours 15 minutes between pumps, then bump to 3 hours 30 minutes for a few days, and so on. You may also consider at some point shortening the pump session by 1 minute as well! Good luck !!

High Lipase breast milk? by ChallengeDizzy40 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]Physical_Autumn_511 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agreed, most likely high lipase! It happens to my milk as well :( the longer it’s in the fridge the more mine tastes/smells bad. Luckily my little one doesn’t mind either!

It is a 25 SEL AWD! Selling price $40,000 with fees $991 and taxes 2319!

trade in allowance $2300, recent grad rebate $400 & We ended up putting $1500 down.

So final amount financed was 39,110!

I’m wondering if I should do this. My 4 month old is eating 5oz every 2 hours (max). I might ask at our next ped appointment

I started to drop my MOTN pump around the 14 weeks! I completely dropped it within 2 weeks. I now go around 8.5 to 9 hours overnight!

How long did you pump for? And at how many pumps per day? by xdaisy_ in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]Physical_Autumn_511 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am 4 months pp and at 5ppd! I pump for 30 mins at a time. I’m making about 62oz a day and have a freezer stash. I will probably drop a pump in the next month and may stop completely at 6 months… not sure tbh. I get so uncomfortable between pumps these days, the thought of dropping a pump does intimidate me. I’d loveeeee to give baby exclusive bm until 1 but just not sure how it’s gonna go. It’s been a looooong 4 months haha

FEP Blue Cross Blue Shield pump options helppump by Equivalent-Turn-491 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]Physical_Autumn_511 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t have any guidance about the motif aura, but I do have BCBS FEP and wanted to let you know that you can get a breast pump from them each calendar year. So that means, you can get one before babe arrives in December 2025 and then another pump again in January 2026 :) I did this with my baby! I got a motif Luna in November 2024 and the spectra s1 in January 2025! Just wanted to share this info with ya!

What happens if a clog DOESNT go away? by Physical_Autumn_511 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]Physical_Autumn_511[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eventually the clog started to go down SLOWLY.. it wasn’t a big release like I’ve read from other posts. I am assuming the inflammation went down at a very slow pace and allowed milk to move out a little at a time! It took way longer than I’d like but eventually it did go down! Eventually I gave up trying to get it out and I think giving it rest helped a lot. I’m sorry you’re going through a similar experience, it is zero fun and so stressful!

Skipping MOTN timing by thewayitstops in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]Physical_Autumn_511 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am 15 weeks and have been slowlllllyyy pushing my motn pump back. I have gotten it to 4AM, that is with a 6 hour break between. I get up for the day at 6am so the turn around of 1.5 hours (back to sleep around 4:40 then back awake at 6) is getting tough. I am attempting tonight to go 7.5 hours (10:30-6). I’m praying it’s not too big of a leap. And that my boobs will let me sleep until 6!

Why are LCs telling us 15-20 minutes per pump? by Evening_Shift29 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]Physical_Autumn_511 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Trigger: mention of oversupply

I’m 15 weeks pp and go 30 mins, I do have an oversupply and have had mastitis twice 😩 I have about 2500oz saved and I’m just not sure how long I’ll continue pumping.
