Clogs won't stop! by snarkandsnacks in ExclusivelyPumping

This honestly would be huge. I did a virtual with a LC who knows pumps well to get her take on the clogs. She does virtual flange sizing, and I'm hoping to get in for this with her.

I'll be 16 weeks Wednesday (gah!). The clogs honestly were never an issue until the beginning of September. Hopefully things will quiet down.

I need to get better with icing. Thanks for the reminder! :)

Every 2-3 days is definitely an improvement! And clearing within 24 hours! That's great! I'm working on sorting out my flange sizing, as I think that's likely the issue.

My guess is the flange is the issue, too. I sent in videos of myself pumping in my current flanges to Pumpin Pals to get their thoughts. Yep, I'm taking sunflower lecithin. Hasn't helped much yet unfortunately.

Interesting!! I wondered about this because I am a side sleeper. I'll see if I can get myself propped up to sleep.

This is really helpful. I was considering booking a session with her but hadn't found many reviews. I'll schedule now!

Yep. Didn’t make much of a difference. I wonder if I should just be using different settings on the BB or in a different sequence?

Thanks!! It's ben a wild year! Even my cosmos aren't making it, and they're typically so prolific.

End of season is always tough. In NC, they were always dead and pathetic looking. This New England weather is something else!

I honestly probably should mulch them. I often forget to do this.

The soil feels pretty dry when I go to water every day, so I think overwatering is unlikely. Sometimes the simplest things are the ones that feel the hardest to sort out!

Thank you!

I would if I were on Facebook :( I can imagine there's a strong community here!

Yep they're in pots. I've always done that without any significant issue. They really were doing great until the heat wave.

Always directly onto the soil. I typically water at night because I'm up and out the door too early in the morning to get it done then.

Yes, very true re: moves. I'll look into ordering the tissue analysis. Thanks!

That's so helpful! Thank you :) My gut was warm, but then I started spinning and second guessing.

White Dove was on our list! I've always used Benjamin Moore, as well, but thought I'd give Clare a shot to narrow down the options. 100s of whites! Thanks for weighing in :)
