I just ordered & received my first wearable pump on super brand day (momcozy air1). I’m so excited to try it out, I bought it as a treat to myself for making it to 3 months and now exclusively nursing! This is a big deal for me because I have never had success in nursing, I’ve always had to supplement feed and then pretty much go straight to formula but not this time! Does anyone have any tips for success on the wearable pumps?

So proud for you momma! You are doing an amazing job!!
congrats on your new wearable pumps! Here’s some general tips I would suggest from my experience:
- Make sure they are snapped closed tightly or you will be wearing a lot of milk
- Make sure you have the correct flange size. It will affect comfort and how much milk you get
- I usually use the stimulation and pump mode together for the first 5 minutes. It makes your milk flow better and you get more
- Make sure the suction level is comfortable. Higher suction doesnt equal more milk.
- Pump at the same times every day or it can affect your supply and can also cause overproduction and milk duct clogs(which is painful)
