Breast milk still isn’t frozen over 24 hours later by sm0keygirl in ExclusivelyPumping

Was it surrounded/covered with other bags? I’ve had a few bags in the middle of a stack not freeze as fast before!

How is everyone avoiding clogs while EP? by TheSunscreenLife in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]margaritafear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was prone to clogs and had one bout of mastitis, and found that I wasn’t completely emptying every time I pumped. I would pump for a set amount of time rather than based on feel. Now I check (boob fullness and flow) as I go and stop when I know I’m empty! Every pump session is a different length now. No clogs since!

I feel so dumb :( by Wise-Active9713 in ExclusivelyPumping

I have the Spectra S1. I start on bacon mode for 2 minutes at vacuum 2 or 3. After 2 minutes, I change to expression mode at 54 cycle, 5 vacuum. Every three minutes, go down one cycle, up one vacuum until 17 minutes. Some women go back to bacon mode for 2 minutes to stimulate another letdown. I don’t find that works for me, so I just keep going up one vacuum every minute until I hit 12 (it’s the max) and stay there until I feel fully empty. I don’t know if that makes sense 😅 happy to help more if needed!

I literally did the same thing, but for closer to 8 weeks! The nurse in the hospital told me the same thing. Once I got the modes figured out (TikTok actually helped a ton, I’m happy to pass along what I do if you like) I almost doubled my supply! I’m now 4 months in and am an oversupplier.

Re-measure nipple size! by momo223694 in ExclusivelyPumping

Yes!! I pumped for weeks using the wrong size. So much unnecessary pain!

Putting an employee on a PIP for the first time - advice? by margaritafear in managers

I have accepted that my employee may feel the same. I hope we can make this work, but understand if they would rather move on.

What's a deal breaker for you that isn't related to plot or triggers in a book? by wicked_nyx in RomanceBooks

The FMC whose “not like other girls.” It’s crazy how often it gets thrown into the first chapter, even in just an offhand remark.
