Hi ladies, hoping you might be able to give me some advice. I have been using a Medela Freestyke hands-free pump (has tubes) but it was being a bit dodgy and not working occasionally, so I got a Pippeta hands-free, thinking not having tubes would be easier to use.
However, I am getting much less yield from the Pippeta. I’m not sure if it is because the motor is attached to the top of the cup, therefore weaker? I have to use it 20 mins plus to get half the yield that the medela gets. I feel like it is stimulating loads though, and I’m getting engorgement from it being so stimulating but then not much milk coming out? I’ve tried different size flanges but am still not getting much out. Does anyone have any advice? Have you guys found this with the Pippeta? The reviews seem to say it’s really good and gives good yield so I’m confused.
thank you!
