    Baby is 3 weeks and been having a hard time. I thought I knew everything. But this just helped tremendously! I started the video at the start of my pump session just now. Big difference. I haven't been able to latch baby in a 2 weeks because of mastitis & just bad pain & a bad latch.

    I'm really glad I found this video... today is day 2 of me using this Spectra S2 pump (it's my work pump) because at home I use the Medela Freestyle Flex. I was using the pump backwards because I just read the manual and it just says to hit the wave button... so I used it backwards. The Medela Freestyle Flex does the whole letdown setting thing by itself. With that said, I do like the Spectra S2 pump because I feel like it empties me well (even using it backwards! lol)

No sleep and waiting on our milk supply to come in while our little girl sings to the neighbors at a Whitney Houston pitch from 9PM till 4 AM. The pizza guy doesn’t want to deliver to us anymore because I’ve asked him to take our trash out every time he delivers. 😂 Needless to say we are feeling the feels but loving our new little girl and loving all of this every step of the way.

    • @KassiReyes
      @KassiReyes  3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Cycles are how quickly the "sucks" happen, higher number equals less time between sucks or pulls from the pump. The numbers I suggested are a jumping off point, but you can play around with the cycle speed to see what gives you the best results, everyBODY is different ;)

When turn pump on I have set to 50 when I see milk coming is when I push the other button thats on 70 and been doing that whole time. Thanks to this video next pump I can do it right the manual made it sound like the way I was doing it was right. I've been getting about 3 to 4 oz every time I pump. Excited to see how much now that I know how to properly use it. Least I only did it wrong for a month. Probably should have watched a video right away not just read manual.

    • @KassiReyes
      @KassiReyes  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Of course! By valves I think you are probably referring to the flange...the part that goes over your nipple? You want to chose a size that lets your nipple move freely without rubbing on the sides, it shouldn’t be so big that it allows more than a little of your areola to pull in to the chamber either. Some women need a different size for each side and that’s ok 👍🏽

      You may need to hit the wave like button again to get it to go below the 70 cycles.

      Hi Jessica, you never have to wash or sterilize the tubing, moisture can get trapped inside and start to mold. If you notice moisture starting to accumulate, leave the pump running for five minutes after you are done pumping with the tubes on and the moisture will work itself out

      @@ploveyou39 it’s ok!! 🤣 Try twirling them around in the air to get all the moisture out and help them dry. Just keep an eye out for moisture and possible mold, if you start to see any mold, replace the tubing.

    First time using this breast pump. And I just want to know when I’m cleaning products and boiling them for the first time do I also clean and boil the tubing. The manual says sanitize the breast shield kit in boiling water for no more than 5 minutes

    • @KassiReyes
      @KassiReyes  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You don't have to wash or sterilize the tubing, no milk should get in to the tubing, and any moisture from washing them could cause them to mold

    What is the recommended speed and level? What’s the difference between stimulation and let down?

    • @KassiReyes
      @KassiReyes  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Hi Marisol :) In the video I give the settings that I recommend starting with, always based on your comfort of course. The stimulation and "let down" phase is the same thing. This refers to the initial 1-2 minutes of quick gentle pumping to stimulate the milk to let down. The expression phase is a little stronger and slower and draws the milk out.

    Somewhere in the manual, it says “don’t sterilize in the microwave.” Could this just mean don’t put them in there and press go? I have a sterilization bag from Medela, where you add 2 oz of water and steam sterilize for 3 min. Is that ok?

    • @KassiReyes
      @KassiReyes  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The cycle function changes the suction pattern (not intensity), for example a cycle of 54 is slower and a bit longer pull than a cycle of 72, which is quick and tends to be used to induce a let down. Hope that helps! What settings are you finding work best for you?

    FTM trying to increase my supply while we figure out latching. Do you have any recommendations about how long to pump for? I’m still getting the tiniest bit of milk after 12-14 minutes of pumping, but wonder if going for too long is bad?

    • @sylkola457
      @sylkola457 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The longer you pump, the more you are telling your body that you need to produce. Supply and demand. At 1st i was pumping for 15min but my daughter wouldnt eat that long and it caused me to get backed up with milk (clogged ducts) so then i started to pump for 10min which help regulate my milk and not constantly be clogged

      @KassiReyes  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      No dumb questions here :) It is how long the pump pulls for with each pull. 38 is a longer pull than 54 for example. You'll understand what I mean once you play around with it
