Dear mamas,

I bought a Medela Electric Mini pump but haven't been too successful with it. I have an Avent manual pump and had no problem getting milk. Just want to try the electric one.

Do you turn the mini pump to max? How long do you use it? Alternating between the two breasts? would it hurt your nipples? I'm quite worried about getting hurt - perhaps that's the problem?

Please share any tips/tricks!

Thank you!!

Don't start in max!! It's hard to pump and you may feel painful, please start in min and adjust it step by step, until you feel it's comfortable and see the milk come out, normally I start in the middle is enough.
I use double pump, normally I pump 30 mins, if you use single pump, suggest you pump each side around 10 mins and repeat 1 or 2 times until you feel your breast are clear.

Thanks OneOneMa. Would your nipple get sore after 30 min? Seeing how the pump stretch them, I got quite nervous.

Also, does your milk flow goes on and off? Do you just keep the pump on and wait for the next let down? Sorry for so many questions. Thx again!

Doesn't matter, welcome to ask~
The nipple won't get sore but it often distended, don't be nervous, it's same as your lovely baby drinking the milk, but BB will not make your nipple distended due to the area is smaller than the pump(have tongue inside the mouth mar). It's normal and won't felt painful. (unless you choose the wrong strength "too hard", therefore i suggest you start from minimum strength and adjust)

Yes, the milk flow is going on and off, becoz the milk 上唔切, you have to wait the second or third times let down, yes, I keep the pump on and waiting for it, I'll watch TV or magazine to wait.

Start with the very min level eveytiime when pump, it won't hurt u and scare u. ... pump one side for 15(non-stop), and start for another one, then go back for the previous side for another 15 min., milk will come out every few mins (i.e. 5-7min)..... wish u a happy bf life!
