During that hour do you have to clean all parts ?
No, keep everything still set up and ready for pumping because it will be a consistent process/hour. Not enough time to wash the parts during the session. If you want to wash them AFTER the session then that is fine.
Ok thank you 😊 🙏
No problem
Thank you so much for this video... after the one hour... should we continue with our regular pumping schedule or do only the one hour power pump for the number of days... thanks ... awaiting your reply
I am a dad who is trying to assist my beautiful wife in her breast feeding journey. This video was a blessing. Thank you Ma'am
No problem. You’re an awesome dad and husband for helping in the process, thank you ❤️
@@MommaNurse It is both and honor and the minimum I can do to show both support and appreciation for giving us our beautiful baby. Thank you again for the wonderful video. You are an amazing mother. Bless your heart❤
@@AnaAna-nn6pg thank you so much. And no problem. Continue being a great father and husband they will both appreciate it.
It’s definitely the little stuff! ❤️
Praying this works my supply severely dropped down to 1-2 ounces and my baby eats 5 ounces at a time
Prayers to you and baby on your journey. Are you eating an adequate diet and drinking enough water? I do have an Overnight Oatmeal recipe that helps increase milk supply as well, you can find it here

Did it work
My baby is definitely getting enough milk from each feed (I can tell by weight gain and diapers) but I’ve been trying to start a frozen milk stash for when I need to be somewhere without him or so dad can start bonding with feeds as well and honestly the most I’ve ever gotten was 2oz out of both boobs and that was basically a miracle. I’m definitely gonna try this
2 oz is still PLENTY of milk, you go Momma! This is my go to trick for creating my milk stash. Check out my other video How to build a milk stash for back to work| 6 tips | 238 bags | Build your milk stash | 2020

@@MommaNurse okay I’ll check it out right away! Thank you!!!
No problem, enjoy.
Love the video straight to the point and very helpful 💜
Glad you enjoyed it!
OMG !
This is the most complete video breastfeeding i have ever seen ! Thnks, I’ll try what you recommend ♥️
No problem. Let me know how it goes. And thanks for watching 😊
Thank you! 😃
thank you!
My baby is 4 months old and I've been successfully pumping/breastfeeding till just a few days ago when my supply inexplicably decreased. I'm FREAKING OUT and have been trying all the tips. Drinking more water, eating more oatmeal, adding a pumping session, breast massage, supplements. I have yet to try power pumping and I really hope it works. Thanks for this video! There's something about your calm demeanor that just put me at ease.
Aww thank you. Power Pumping produces results for sure! I also recommend doing it along with the other tips you mentioned (it just makes for a better outcome). Definitely do the power pump session for one week and you should see results.
How did it go?
@@anneshirley9560 I power pumped for over a week and didn't see any improvements so I am trying some supplements. I also had to just be ok with the fact that supplementing with formula is OK. My baby is fed and gaining weight. That is what I need to focus on.
@@alinatarkhanian I’m stressing right now because my baby was in the nicu for 23 days, and I was pumping while she was there, and once she was able to eat we gave it to her. I see my supply decreasing because honestly I’m not drinking enough water or eating enough, now that my baby is home I find myself just worried if she’s eating. After watching this video I’ll be trying out pumper pumping, & I also ordered brownies off of the Milky Mama website...
Anyways, I just wanted to say seeing your comment helped me out, about how as long as your baby is fed then it’s okay!
Been exclusively breastfeeding my baby for 5 months. She recently started solids and my supply has dropped in what seems like overnight. Baby has slightly less wet nappies (plenty poos though) but I knew my supply had dipped since my let down is usually within seconds but took about 5 mins to start. I don’t hear my babys deep swallowing like usual just small gulps. Definitely trying this to build my supply back up 🙏
Yes, definitely give this a try. While baby is eating solids go ahead and pump to make up for the loss. This will help keep the supply rather than losing it. Keep in mind also that beginning solids will alter the output (urine and poop) but you want to make sure baby is still hydrated and getting enough nutrients. Good luck 👍🏾
I’m going to try this! Thank you for the info.
No problem. Good luck! Remember stay consistent
Super helpful and simple explanation!
👍🏾
I had to come back to comment because I’m so surprised how well this method works!
My production went down again after my second mastitis.
I started yesterday morning with 1 power pump session and production was 185ml. I pumped 3 other times that day for 20 minutes as I usually do.
This morning I power pumped again and production was 290ml. Still have to see how it goes the rest of the day. But I’m already extremely impressed about this difference.
My low production gave me so much anxiety. Thank you so much for sharing!
This is so awesome to hear 🥲❤️❤️❤️. So happy for you and baby.
Thanks for watching AND coming back to share your experience ❤️❤️❤️.
Thank you. This video was informative and to the point.
No problem. Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you so much for the education. I’m going through what you went through! I’m on my first. Thank you for your experience!
No problem! Glad you were able to benefit from it. Please feel free to reach out with any questions.
Thank you for this. My baby is 2+ weeks old and I struggle to produce 1+ oz/day. I don't understand how other moms can produce like 1 liter/day. My baby is mixed feeding rn but I'd really like to have her on breastmilk exclusively. I've tried everything including organic milkmaid tea, moringga, fenugreek, sunflower lecithin (when my ducts were clogged with colostrum), lots of soup, water..... I guess this is my last hope, waiting to see results..
Be careful with fenugreek, some mothers have the opposite result with that (less milk production instead of more). Definitely give this a try, be consistent. Being that your supply is so low I would recommend 2 power pump sessions a day (if possible), if not then just do the 1. Also, check out my video on my overnight snack that also helped me increase my supply.
I am the same way
How are things now?
Please tell us the results
Do you pump for each and every single bottle that the baby gets ? You need to do that PLUS pumping extra on top that , to increase the supply.
Thank you this was such a helpful video. Hopefully the advice works and I can make more milk for my combo fed baby 😊
So glad you enjoyed it. Good luck on your journey ❤️❤️❤️

You have covered quite helpful info
Great, thanks for joining the family ☺️
Thank you!!! I was doing longer pumping sessions instead of pumping more often! I will switch to pumping more frequently for shorter amount of time!
Yes! You will see the difference.
@@MommaNurse I sure hope so, I’m a first time mom and my son is 7 weeks old, I just want to make sure he gets enough food and that I can keep feeding him breast milk when he starts getting older and require more milk a day! Thank you again!
@@alliehusky5138 Congrats to you on your first bundle of joy. No problem, sounds like you are on the right path to a long (and successful) breastfeeding journey. Please reach out if you have anymore questions. Wishing you all the best.
Thank you so much for this information I will definitely be trying this method.
No problem. Good luck on your journey ❤️
Thank God for sending me to this video. I have been pumping for 30 minutes every 2 hrs. It has been 3 weeks and I have only seen the tiniest bit of increase. I feel like my nipples will fall off. I'm going to decrease the duration and add in a power pump session like you described. I hope this works.
I’m so glad you found this video. 30 mins every 2 hrs will definitely hurt after 3 weeks 😖. You should definitely see results. Continue your water intake, eat a well balanced diet, eliminate stress and Power Pump ❤️. Good luck on your journey and congrats on your bundle of joy 🤩.

Best video, direct to the point
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it.
Hey, it was very informative video. I just loved the way accurately and precisely you have explained everything about power pumping. I have gone through so many video and at the end it seemed a huge thing to be accomplished but your explanation has given me self-confidence that yes i can do it.
The way you explained looked super easy.
Thankyouuu so much for such relaxing gesture.
Stay blessed.
No problem. I'm glad it was beneficial for you. Good luck on your power pumping journey.
Thank you for this! Very straightforward and informative. My must-have is definitely snacks. What sorts of snacks would be healthy choices?
Glad you enjoyed the video. Any type of nut mix is a good choice, it’s protein and nutritious. I also have an overnight snack that I enjoy you can watch it HERE Increase Breast Milk supply snack | Overnight | under 10 minutes | Mom | Breast feeding | Time lapse

@momma nurse : why should we power pump preferably in the morning when the milk production is at its highest ?
I’d logically contrarily be tempted to power pump at night when baby is hungry and I have less milk.
Thank you for your response 🙌🏻
I power pump midday or afternoon because that's when my baby naps the longest. You just need a time frame when you will have no interruptions.
Thank you for this video. Very clear and helpful!
No problem, glad you enjoyed it.
@@MommaNurse hi mam..Pls I normally pump in the morning say around 7am after feeding my baby..I just pump out the milk left in my breasts...then can I include this power pumping after wards?
That is pump normally in the morning like I do and then still have a power pump session afterwards. Or is a must one must power pump first before pumping on shorter time
@@Ifys_Space yes, you can do your short session after baby nurses. Then about 45 mins to an hour later you can have your power pump session. Or you can make that first session into your power pump session, whichever works best for you.
Thanks for getting straight to the point. Love the video.
No problem. Thanks for watching
I have a 1 week old and a history with PCOS, my lactation specialist has instructed me to power pump. Thanks for sharing this information, I will be making all of my baby’s food pretty soon prayerfully.
Yay congrats on your bundle of joy. And good luck on your journey.
I absolutely have to have a good tv show during my pumping session
Makes the time go by so quick!
Thank you for this information 😊
No problem
Your a life saver!
Glad i was able to help. Please let me know if you have any questions
This is very informative and really great
Thanks for watching 😊😊😊
This was great. I increased my coffee intake so maybe thats a factor 🤔 thanks for the info 👍 😀
No problem at all. Glad it could help.
Thank you for this video. I have always breastfed but I had a micro-preemie born at 25+2 eleven days ago. At first my supply seemed adequate but I've noticed my supply tanking everyday over the last 4 days. Probably a bit due to stress and my pump had broken so I had 2 days where I had to manually pump which further frustrated the process. Pumping is different from breastfeeding and comes with different difficulties. I'm going to try this.
Congrats on your new baby, praying for baby to grow into a healthy little boy or girl. Yes! I always tell people that breastfeeding and pumping are two different things. Definitely give this a try it works wonders. Try to eliminate the stress, eat hearty meals, drink plenty of water and pump on a set schedule (especially if baby is not around ie in NICU) this gives you a few extra sessions per day to increase you ur supply. Also, check out my video on overnight milk supply snacks, and ways to increase your milk supply. Good luck on your journey
@@MommaNurse b
I’m currently in the NICU with a preemie and I’m also trying to pump more. The lactation specialist are working hard to help me out. My baby only 20 days old today
Congrats on your bundle of joy. Praying for a speedy trip home ❤️. Yes, this is the best time to pump, I’m sure the lactation specious giving you some great advice and help. Please reach out if you need anything further.
@@MommaNurse I sure will ! I tried power pumping this morning …one boob got 2oz and the other still just one. So I’m trying oatmeal this morning to see if it will help
Thank you
Thank you so much! I will update if it worked for me. I’m currently 7 weeks post partum and worried about my milk supply.
Awesome. Congrats on your new bundle of joy 🥰. Wishing you all the best ❤️
How did it go?
Thank you for this video! You're so beautiful btw!
No problem and thank you so much ❤️.

Thanks for watching all the way from India ❤️
The key to pump : shorter time but frequent. Tqqqqq
Yes! That is exactly right!
Heating pad is my must have ❤
Always a plus ❤️❤️❤️
I have preemie twins and my milk supply dropped over night, I'm a brand new mom so I'm learning so much I was told I can do power pumping once per day along with pumping every 2 hours to get my supply back up! I really hope this helps I'm willing to try anything.
Yes, definitely work on the power pumping, it will help bring your supply back. Also, check out my video on increasing your supply with food/water intake and other methods. Stay on schedule (as much as you can) with power pumping and your regular pump sessions. Make it your priority. Congrats on your twins. Boys? Girls? Both? ❤️
@@MommaNurse girl and boy! They was born at 26 weeks and I've been home 2 hours away from them so it's been hard keeping up with my milk supply or trying to make it stay.
Aww so precious congrats! Set alarms for your day. Whatever time your first session is in the morning set alarms for every 2-3 hours throughout the day from there. I recommend waking in the middle of the night and Pumping throughout the night as well, this will immensely help with your supply. Especially in these earlier weeks/months
I have preemie twins too they are 6 weeks old my supply definitely can be better
Definitely work on the power pumping process. I also have another video on ways to increase your milk supply... Check it out, it will definitely help! Congrats on your twins 😊
This helped so much.
I'm so pleased to hear that. Thanks for watching
Thank you ❤️❤️
Omg thank you so much my friend!!! I was pumping while watching your video. It's very informative and helpful!! I'm gonna power pump right now 💪 and tomorrow in the morning. I am actually very sad because my baby isn't gaining too much:( I was very upset about myself not producing enough for him. But as I just pumped, I have 4 Oz from both breasts :( I'm so stressed about it. His pediatrician suggested me to pump and add some formula into breast milk. I hope my baby gains weight soon !
So glad you enjoyed it. Keep power pumping with consistency and it will help. Praying for you and your baby. Don’t stress about it, because stress will also decrease your supply. Just focus on your water and calorie intake never skip a meal lol. Good luck
Girlie u can always add babys powdered calories which ever would work best. Speak to your dietician and lactation consultant :)
@@MommaNurse Much love ❤ Thank you!
@@kaylakidd9682 Thank you so much!! My lactation told me to try pump to get the higher fat milk and give him that after 3 to 4 times of the feed for 1 week and then we gonna check his weight again. His pediatrician told me to add some enfamil gentlease into my breast milk but he hates the formula so much that he wouldn't drink any of it but my breast milk 😂 hopefully by next Wednesday he's going to gain some weight.
You can eat roasted peanuts if you're not allergic it does increase your milk supply as well.
Those are my favorite ❤️
Once we figure out when we’re going to power pump should we still create a pumping schedule? For example every two hours to mimic the babies feedings.
Yes! It is imperative to continue your every 2-3 hour pumping schedule or you will lose that milk supply. One of those sessions will turn into your power pump session.
Thank you so much! I really hope this helps me 😊❤️
No problem. Hope it works 😊
Did it help?
Thank You! ❤
You’re welcome
Thank you for this video. My baby is a little over 2 months and I was exclusively breastfeeding and pumping and because of PPD I stopped. I felt like I lost a lot of my momentum and therefore lost some of my supply. Starting this method TODAY. Wish me luck!
Many prayers and blessings to you, your baby and your journey 🙌🏾❤️. It is a great method to use, I always remind mothers to be patient and consistent on their breastfeeding journey. You got this momma💪🏾
@@MommaNurse thank you again!
No problem
Thank you for this video. I’m 7 weeks ppd. Stopped for a week pumping because I’m really discouraged with my supply. I’m going to start up again 7-8 a day and power pump 1 session. I’m hoping my supply increases.
Don’t be discouraged by your supply, your body is still adjusting to baby and pumping. This is the most crucial time to be consistent with your pumping and nursing because it will build the demand for milk. Keep at it, you are doing great ❤️.
Thank you for these information ♥️, I have a question my dear? During the session of power pumping if for example the milk came out after five minutes of pumping, so, do I have to increase the time of pumping?
No problem. No not necessarily, keep the scheduled intervals and that will help increase your milk production. Rather than increasing the time of pumping.
My needs are chocolate (I have month supply of chocolate at home), water (2 bottles of two liters, one for each arm) and hands-free pump. I can pump while feeding, makes my life so much easier
Yes! Those are all great things! ❤️❤️❤️
When power pumping do you stay in the let down mode each time you pump or do you shift between let down/massage and expression mode?
Preferably stay in the let down mode. The reason for this is because you want your milk ducts to think that it’s baby starting a new session. By starting these “new sessions” it works to produce more milk by increasing the demand. However, it will not hurt anything by being in the massage/expression mode.
Thank you for sharing, this video is so informative.
After power pumping do i need to pump again like regular 20 minutes pump? or that’s it for the day?
No problem, I’m glad you enjoyed it. That’s not it for the day but, don’t continue pumping RIGHT away a power pump session.
Continue on your every 2-3 hour pump schedule after power pumping.
This video is very helpful thank you so much! I do have a question ! So if I power pump I only have do do it for 7 days or up to three weeks and completely stop power pumping? And just do regular pumping ?
No problem. Yes, that is correct. By doing it for 7 days (max 3weeks) it trains the body and milk receptors to produce more milk, and should continue to produce even if you stop power pumping after you've seen an increase. After that pump on your regular schedule. If you do notice a decrease at any time again in the future you can begin your 7day count again and power pump again.
@@MommaNurse thank you very much
Tq for Ur video..it helped me a lot..
No problem. Glad it was helpful
Thanks for the video. I am wondering should I continue pumping with the time setting if no more milk comes out?
You should continue, this alerts your milk receptors that they need to produce more milk. If you continue pumping, milk will eventually start producing.
Momma Nurse thanks 😄
Muze delivery ke bad se hi dudh kam tha 3mhine ke bad dudh aana lagbhag jaise ki band hi ho gaya tha ,fir meri maa ne muze Amazon se mamicon syrup order kar ke diya . maine mamicon syrup 15din liya ,15dino me hi muze kafi dudh aana shuru ho gaya.ye mamicon syrup sach me best hai dudh badhane ke liye,aap bhi Amazon se order kar sakte hai our ye ayurvedic medicine hai`
@@shikhadutta7857 I don't understand.
And you pump on both sides while power pumping??
Good info! Just to add to this wonderful info, what is important to remember is that adequate removal of breast milk is key, either from breastfeeding, hand expressing or pumping. Power pumping is great, however pumping in excess can also cause problem if the pumping parents stimulates breast and does not keep up with it as milk supply will increase, and if not consistent with removal of milk, this can trigger plugged ducts, or other breast issues. Always, get the support of lactation consultant if available, there are many breastfeeding resources and lactation clinic for support. Great educational video.
Yes, I definitely agree! Thanks for adding ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for this informative video. It is right to the point. I'm wondering should I pump regularly after the power pump session? For example, If I power pump in the morning, should I pump normally every 3 hours same day?
You are more than welcome. To answer your question YES! Definitely continue with your regular Sessions throughout the day. The Power Pump session only replaces 1 session during a 24 hr period.
I just released my Power Pump eBook available now at www.themommanurseshop.com
What setting would you use for a new momma with a spectra pump for power pumping please
Hi, congrats on your new bundle of joy ❤️.
What I recommend is starting on the lowest speed that is comfortable for you, not painful, and you are able to see some results.
If you feel any type of discomfort lower the speed. If you feel like there are no results increase the speed. You can do this multiple times per session. As long as you are comfortable.
I hope this helps and thanks for watching ❤️❤️❤️.
I just had triplets and they are NICU babies I been pumping at home Im watching videos to see how to get more milk I just start drinking Mothers Tea
Aww congrats on your 3 bundles of joy ❤️❤️❤️. You are going to be a busy mommy ☺️☺️☺️.

Power Pumping is typically great at any stage in your breastfeeding journey
Thanks!

@@MommaNurse this video has been one of the most helpful I have seen yet, I'm having my 1st baby in Dec and have been a bit on the anxious side.. thank you again🥲🙏🏼
Aww congrats. It seems like you are already off to a good start by preparing early. Don’t be anxious babies are such a blessing and believe it or not they will help guide you on what to do. I’m so glad this video could help, helping others is what motivated me to start my channel. I hope once baby arrives my other videos will be of assistance as well.
Definitely gonna try this
❤️❤️❤️
Hi momma, I have a 4 month old who started day care last week. I felt a drastic decrease of my milk supply overnight. I do admit I have been drinking more coffee. My biggest worry he is not taking formula and has not started solids yet.
This happens when there is a change in your schedule, or together time. Have you built a milk stash? I would recommend working on that ASAP (here’s my video on how I built mine How to build a milk stash for back to work| 6 tips | 238 bags | Build your milk stash | 2020
th-cam.com/video/p1wE2dlT5qI/w-d-xo.html )
Power Pumping will definitely help you build this stash and increase your overall milk production. Don’t give up, keep nursing your baby, drinking water and pumping every chance you get to build your stash. My babies did not like formula either so I can understand. I hope this helps, please reach out if you have any other questions ❤️
Thank you so much, I can already see an improvement with one day. I increased my water intake, took some prenatal vitamins and added oats for breakfast. In 2 power pump session I managed 500ml
Yessssss 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾so happy to hear that! You are doing all the right things ❤️❤️❤️. Keep going strong momma.
How long do you recommend are the frequent sessions? Sometimes I want to pump for like 10-15 mins but usually there are only drops so I keep going , before you know it my nips are sore:/
I recommend 15min sessions every 2-3 hours. If you continue to go longer that will be your result, sore nipples. It’s best to have shorter sessions more frequently. By doing this you will increase your body’s demand for milk which will lead to more milk production. I do have a Pump Schedule Guide on my website themommanurseshop.com for only $1.00 you can get a guide so you know exactly when to pump.
Meri wife ko shuru se properly milk nhi aa raha tha sb kuch try kiya tha,maine jb mamicon syrup and mamicon capsule💊 ke bare me suna to oder kr diya amazon se uska 20 din me hi breast milk badh gya and ab to properly milk aa gya uska hmare bachhi ka pet full bhr jata hai achhi si nind bhi leti hai vo bhot effective hai mamicon syrup and mamicon capsule koi side effects nhi huaa ayurvedic hai! "
Suggestion on pumping outside power pumping? Do you power pump then pump throughout the day? If so how many pumps throughout and duration?
Yes, I still pump regularly throughout the day when I'm power pumping. I (regular) pump 45 mins either before or after baby nurses, so typically around 8, 11, 2, 5 and I pump for 15 mins sessions. For my 2pm session I just turn that into my power pump session because my baby naps for a longer period at this time. Hope this makes sense 😊
@@MommaNurse So you basically pump 4 times in a day..
One power pump session and 3 regular pump sessions?
@@Ifys_Space that is correct.
@@MommaNurse if you pump 45 minutes before your baby nurses, isn't the breast empty when it's time for baby to nurse? Or do you then bottle feed?
Very good question. Your breast supply milk on demand. So if you pump before your baby nurses then your body will think that your pumping session is the baby. Then When it’s time for your baby to nurse, your body will naturally think baby is hungry again, resulting in your body producing more milk to supply your baby. The more you pump or nurse tells your body to produce more milk. I don’t bottle feed my babies, until I go back to work then dad will bottle feed, I avoid it if possible.
I have a 7 weeks baby.. I am brest feeding him daily as normal.. one day I tried to pump by using medela pump.. I see no milk coming while pumping.. when I press by nipple manually I saw that milk is coming.. my question is even if I see milk when I press manually then why I am not getting them while pumping... could you please answer my question it will be helpful for me..
It could be either an incorrect flange size. Try sizing down on the shield you are using. Also make sure all parts are connected correctly to ensure the pump is functioning properly.
Hi.. I Just watch ur video.. This is truly amazing. I want to know which pump is best either manual or electric?
I prefer the electric. But I do however use the manual pumps in between /on occasion. I do have a couple reviews on my channel of both manual pumps and the electric pump I am using this time around. Be sure to check them out.
Awww thanks.. 1 another question plz.. In power pumping, during 1st session do I need to pump 20 mins from each side or for 10 10 mins from each side??? Kind regards
Do 20 mins from each side. Try to use a double pump if you have it. If you are using a single pump then it may be easier to do a 2 hour power pump session. 1 hour for each breast to go through the entire session.
Thanks a lot
No problem
When You Cut Down To Pumping For A Shorter Time More Frequently, Was It like for 15mins every 2hrs or so ?
Yes, about 10-15 mins every 2-3 hours. You can start out doing it every 2 hours to increase the production. Once you see the increase you can pump every 3 hours.
Hi. Do you use the same set up with the milk already in the bottle for the next 2 other 10mins?
Hello. Yes, I do. Especially during the first few days because you may start out with just a small amount so it’s best to combine it for freezing purposes. Once you start getting a lot of milk out if you want to store the first batch in the fridge until completion that’s fine.
Hi , thanks for your wonderful videos . I m currently into 2 months of pp.
I have one question before I try this - we need to do it on both breasts (if dual pump both at same time ?)Or during rest we can do on another breast one by one .
Thanks for watching and congrats on the newest addition. This is described for a dual pump however, you can also complete it just as you said with using your break periods to pump the opposite breast. That’s how you would complete it with a single pump.
There is a complete Power Pump guide that is available at www.themommanurseshop.com
Hope this helps ❤️❤️❤️
In addition to the 1hr power pump how often should I pump throughout the day? Every 1 to 2hrs? I will be returning back to work soon. The little one is five months. I am trying to build my milk storage supply in the freezer and get a routine established when I return to work so my milk supply will not decrease.
In addition to the power pump session you should be pumping every 2-3 hours. If you have the time (and energy) to pump more (to build your stash) you can but, don’t tire yourself out. I have many videos on my channel for increasing supply, building a milk stash etc. I will link a few below. The most important thing is consistency and maintaining an adequate diet.

Love your video wanna ask a question for you my baby does not latch to breast can only pumping may increase milk.supply
Yes, you just need to be consistent and pump frequently.
Thank you for this video! I've been exclusively nursing, but my 4mo is slightly underweight so want to increase my supply. O just started pumping 3 days ago. I have a question, I barley produce any milk while pumping. The 20 minutes on, is this just keeping the pump on even if no milk is coming out? And do I leave it on the let down mode or the expression mode? Thank you!
You are very welcome. Congrats on your new bundle of joy. Since you just began pumping it will take some time for your milk ducts to increase the supply based on the demand. Keep going until you start seeing milk, even though you cannot see any milk right now you are doing the right thing by increasing the demand for milk. Yes, for the 20 minutes on keep it on even if you do not get any milk. Continue for the whole hour (following the schedule) even if you do not see any milk. It’s preferred that you stay in let down mode because you want your breasts to think these are all new sessions.
@@MommaNurse thank you so much for replying!
No problem at all ❤️
Thank you for your very clear video and encouraging words. Did you pump in combination with breastfeeding your baby?
Glad it was of help. Yes, I breastfed all 4 of my babies while pumping.
@@MommaNurse Well done! Would power pumping then help increase my milk supply even though I don't breastfeed my baby?
And any tips for weaning baby off the bottle, I am desperately trying to put her back on the breast but she refuses. Any advice would be welcomed. Thanks.
Yes power pumping will still help. You can always build up your milk stash for later as well. It is very hard to go from bottle feeding back to breast. It has to do with the ease the baby gets from the nipple on a bottle because it's typically wider so they get their milk easier. I would recommend noting when baby is the most hungry during the day...typically first morning feed or at bedtime, try to use those times to incorporate a nursing feed (breastfeed session) slowly until baby is use to it.
@@MommaNurse Thank you for that. I would love to have breastfeeding sessions with my daughter, however as she is clever and realised that the bottle flows very fast, she is now refusing all attempts to breast feed. What can I do in this case?
Hmm keeps trying and be patient with her. Follow the steps in my message above and see if that helps. If not then maybe consult a lactation specialist. If you are on Instagram I would recommend following/talking to rue_theboobboss she’s awesome!
found your video so helpful but I have a question: Do I power pump for each breast when using a single electric breast pump or how should it be done
I would recommend alternating breasts during that same power pump session. When you switch breasts it will give the breast the rest time that it t needs. Hope this helps.
Can we pump with hand?
Quick question: Can I PowerPump while pumping every 2-3 hours/after nursing my baby?
Yes you definitely can! Continue your normal pumping schedule and just chose one of those pumping sessions to do your Power Pump Session. Whenever you know you have a hour block of time without interruptions.
My baby is 11 months and I had a hospital visit made me anxious and want to build my freezer supply again. I’m very full in the morning but I don’t know if I should pump and take that milk since my baby fully drains them in that first feed. I don’t wanna steal her milk. But I’m not seeming to get a let down with the pump. Definitely feeling anxious before pumping. Feeling stressed and overwhelmed. Even though I exclusively BF I don’t need this milk but in case of emergency I do. 😩
I would recommend doing either an early morning power pump session or maybe an early afternoon session. With consistency and frequency you will hopefully start to see milk let down. Don't be discouraged with the first couple sessions, it started out slow but then will pick up in let down.
Also try breast massages and or warm compresses before and during your pump session. Increase your water intake and your calories (especially right before that pump session). Having a milk stash is an awesome thing, it helps out in those times when you aren't available and even when you wean off the breast you still have breast milk to feed baby for long after. Check out my How to Build a Milk Stash video for more tips on building your stash.
How often do you switch back between massage and express? What about during power pump sessions?
Sometimes it just depends on the pump, as they will switch automatically. Typically I start with the massage mode and then once I start getting milk I switch to express. If you notice a decrease in milk production prior to your “end time” you can go back to massage mode for a few mins and then back to express mode.
During Power Pumping each “session” starts for me on massage and then I switch to express and leave it there.
Hope this helps ❤️
Thanks for this video! I'm seeing less milk when I pump but I admit I am not consistent to pumping every 2-3 hrs :( Sometimes it's hard! So do you recommend pumping everyday at the same times? Like having a set schedule for pumping? Sometimes I have to go out and that interferes with a pumping session, so sometimes I can go 6 hrs straight without pumping. I think thatmight be messing with my production? What to do when you go out and cannot pump for many hours in a row? Because in my mind that messes up any schedule you might have had. Thanks so much!
Yes, those things definitely affect your supply and pump schedule. What I try to do is schedule things around my pump sessions. If I cannot then as soon as I am able to, I pump. It's ok to skip a session here and there but consistently missing sessions is what affects your supply. I try to pump around the same time, but sometimes I'm off by an hour or two, depending on when the baby wakes up and nurses.
For me if I'm out I always carry a hand pump and a Hakaa so I can do it on the go even if it's at the 4 hr mark
Yesssssssssss!
Girl I find it helpful to ALWAYS have a manual hand pump with me and it works wonders... @ times it can tire your wrists @ 1st but its definitely worth it... Hope this helps good luck ma
@@angelitadominguez yes girl yes me too. I think I got too excited and ordered the generic haka tho. Have not sene it help catch much of anything :(
Hi super informative video here
Well my question is so power pump once a day is all enough or do we need extra regular pumping sessions with this like 15 minutes pump every two hours these sessions are included or not with this power pump routine
Thanks 🙏🏻
Hi, thanks for being here. You will still need to have your regular pumping sessions otherwise you are counteracting your power pump session. Just like you said you will need to pump for 10-15 minutes every 2-3 hours. Your 1 power pump session will replace only 1 of these regular sessions.
I do discuss Power Pumping in great detail in my Power Pump eBook available at www.themommanurseshop.com
Hope this helps and good luck on your journey ❤️❤️❤️
If baby latches directly then is power pumping alone enough without regular pumping sessions?
@SuperJhost Power Pumping is used to increase your breast milk supply. If you are not doing the regular pump sessions then you may notice a decrease in milk because the milk ducts do not work if they are not stimulated. I hope this helps ❤️❤️❤️
Question once you power pump how long do you wait until you pump again with regular schedule?
You would follow your regular schedule and pump every 2-3 hrs after your Power Pump session. It is fine if baby nurses prior to that 2-3 hour window.
This was great. I'm getting ready to go back to work and freaking out with decreased supply. This is my fourth child and the first to be premature. My first child did have to go to nicu but it was only for like half a day. This one she was in for a little over two weeks. I had a huge amount of milk while there and went home with like 70 bags of milk. Ok anywho, did you pump every 3 hours after nursing baby?
Thanks for watching! And congrats on the newest addition ❤️❤️❤️.
Yes! I keep a pretty tight schedule on breastfeeding/pumping. I would set my alarm on my phone as a reminder. I started out pumping 2 hours after then once you build up your supply then you can pump every 3 hrs. Hope this helps.
I do have a few more videos on my channel for moms returning to work while nursing…here’s one of them

@@MommaNurse That was quick. Thanks for responding. Ok. I feel a little better. This is really helpful. Thank you again
@@QUADacityLyfe no problem at all.
Hi, thank you so much for this video. I'm struggling a lot to increase my milk supply for my baby. I have questions about power pumping. The time for pumping, 20 minute for one or two boobs? I just use one pumping machine by the way.
No problem, I’m glad you were able to find this video useful. For the 20 minute session it is for both breasts if you are using a double pump (1 breast if you are using a single pump). I discuss in great detail two different methods of using a single pump in my eBook available at www.themommanurseshop.com. Hope this helps ❤️
Can you begin power pumping immediately after giving birth?
Thank you!
Typically you don’t want to start pumping OR Power Pumping immediately after birth because you want to allow your baby time to adjust to your nipple and form a good latch. Once you are confident that baby is latching correctly (typically about 4 weeks) then you can begin pumping/power pumping
Recently my supply took a dip (wasn’t feeling well and wasn’t eating as much as I should have been). I could tell by baby’s reactions when he is nursing. He just turned 4 months. I’ve power pumped two nights on a row so far. Honestly hard during the day to do so because I also have a 8 year old special needs child. Should I pump more if I can ? Or is night time ok?. Any suggestions are awesome!. I’m back to eating normally and drinking plenty of water (all I drink actually). I am trying to also build some milk for the freezer so I can Introduce a bottle soon so when I’m not home dad can feed baby etc.
Thanks so much in advance!
Any chance you can get to pump would be great, but if you cannot then just do your power pump sessions at night. If you can get in a quick 10-15 min pump session during the day that would be great to help you build your milk stash (I also have a video on this, check it out). All the milk you pump try to store it and only nurse baby, this will help build your supply and stash.
@@MommaNurse would a 10 minute session be enough during the day? Should it be 10 minutes on one side or 5 minutes on each side?
@@anonimity038 it would be 10 minutes per side. If you are doing a single session then YES 10 mins is enough, I typically recommend 10-15 minute sessions. You would still need to do this every 2-4 hours to keep up with production. If you are doing an actual Power Pump session then you need the full 1 hour time block
So with this 1 hour session, would I pump every time he feeds still or just this session?
You can if you would like, that would just give you even more milk.
Personally I never enjoyed pumping while my baby nursed. But, I was always willing to pump either before or after they nursed.
Hope I answered your question. If not please let me know.
Thank you so much you did.
I’m trying to start breastfeeding again after stopping for about five months would I pump every hour for say 20 minutes or would I want to power pump multiple times a day (say 2-3 time) Till my supply comes back in?
I would recommend pumping every 1-2 hours (don’t tire yourself out) for 15 mins per session. If you do decide to Power Pump twice a day then I would recommend an early morning session and a night session, that way it is spaced out. But, it is definitely ok to do only one Power Pump session per day. Or you can alternate days, 1 session Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and 2 sessions Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday. On Sunday, either do 1 session or rest.
With re-lactating you will have to be both consistent and patient. It will take a while for the milk to come back. Just keep eating (healthy) milk producing foods, and drinking plenty of water along with above recommendations. Good luck 👍🏾
I have a manual breast pump. Do the second and third session are 5 minutes per breast or 10 min per breast?
10 mins per breast
Hello I am re-lactated . It’s been 4 months without breastfeeding my baby was a premi and because she was so tiny she never latch . I stared 4 days ago and I been pumping and nothing comes out I did power pump for 3 days . Do you think I’m dry ? 😔
Hi, definitely Keep going. Re-lactating takes quite a while but, can be very rewarding if you follow through. Keep up with your dietary intake and continue to power pump as well.
Hello .thankyou for the sharing .can i know .the duration is for one side or both breast to pumping?
The examples noted in this video are for both breast simultaneously. However, if you have a single pump I discuss 2 different methods of Power Pumping using a single pump in my Power Pump eBook available at www.themommanurseshop.com
It makes me so sad to see some mamas comments about their milk supply. 💔.. I know that all we want to do is feed our babies. I had a major decrease a few weeks ago and it happened over-night… my baby’s milk supply decreased to less than an ounce. I felt hopeless, upset, and I cried. I believe it was due to stress from a full semester of college courses. 🥲
Along with mother’s milk tea, I turned to Fenugreek supplements and started resting more. I’m now back up to nursing him until he feels satisfied from feeding and then about 3 ounces to empty my boob.
It’s nowhere near where I started, but this video has motivated me to try the power pumping to help increase it back to my “normal”…
Thank you for this informative video.. and thanks for getting straight to the point ♥️♥️♥️
This comment was definitely touching. I’m sorry for the sudden drop in your supply but, I do hope this video helps you get back to your normal supply. Thanks for your support to all the mommas out there. Stay consistent and positive, good luck on your continued journey ❤️.
@@MommaNurse Thank you ♥️
@@CrystalliaTimes no problem ❤️
@MommaNurse is it possible to do power pumping with a single manual pump ? If so how we can plan the sessions for each breast
Definitely! There are 2 different methods to Power Pump using a single pump. #1 you can do 2 individual power pump sessions for each breast. #2 You can alternate your break periods for pumping the opposite breast.
I discuss both of these methods in great detail in my Power Pump ebook which can be found at www.themommanurseshop.com
I hope this helps ❤️❤️❤️
Thank u sooo much .. am 14 weeks postpartum .. does this work for me?
Am power pumping every 3 hrs night time 3 sessions .. unfortunately no pumping during the day .. am reallyyyy looow production .. hw much time should be a regular session? And hw can I fix what am doing?
No problem, and yes this will work for you. It sounds like you are doing a great job but, you really need to try to get some day sessions in. Maybe start with trying to find an hour for you to have a Power Pump session during the day. There should only be 1 Power Pump session a day or your breasts will get sore. Regular sessions should be anywhere from 15-30 mins. It’s more productive to have more frequent sessions rather than long sessions.
My Power Pump ebook is available at www.themommanurseshop.com where I discuss different methods of Power Pumping, including using a single pump, and answer all your frequently asked questions. I also have a Milk Producing Foods Checklist that may be beneficial for you.
Hope this helps ❤️❤️❤️.
@@MommaNurse Appreciated
@@MommaNursewhat if uh still don't get enough milk even after doing all this ? Shud i quit pumping?
@@afiyafarooq2860 What is “enough milk?” If you have increased your water intake, eaten your milk producing foods, power pumped, AND kept a consistent pump/nursing schedule your body may just not be able to produce milk.
Even 1 ounce of milk per session can be used to give to baby so that baby can get those benefits from it. Quit pumping…would be a decision you would have to make.
My baby is 3 months. I have slacked off with pumping and would like to pick it back up. I am still producing milk but not much at all. Like less than an ounce. Do I still have hope?
YES! And now is the best time to get back on track. Create a Pump/ Nurse Schedule and stick to it, I have already created one available for just $1 at www.themommanurseshop.com.
Once you have created your schedule then you can start incorporating a Power Pump Session to help increase your supply. You will also see a Power Pump eBook available that details different techniques, answers frequently asked questions, and more. I hope this helps ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much for this video
Very informative , straight to the point and detailed
Do you use any supplement to increase your milk supply?
You are so welcome. No, I do not use any supplements just natural intake such as Oatmeal, water, nuts, etc.
Im using single pump.so after pumping each side can i go staright again to the 10 minutes session or should i wait for ten minutes?
No, with a single pump your break is obtained by pumping on the opposite side. Power Pumping eBook goes on Sale on 7/21/22. I discuss two different methods to using a single pump.
How long should one pump for normal session?Also,8 session in a day is sufficient (including power pumpkin)?
You would want to pump for about 10-15mins per session every 2-4 hours. This all depends on your schedule including your baby’s nursing sessions. The Power Pump session can be included in these times.
