Home Forums Induced Lactation aka Adoptive Breastfeeding Medical Interventions to Induce Lactation/Increase Milk Supply what strength do you use on the pump?

I just pumped for the first time after a month's preparation. Got about 1/2 ounce... More than I did on the domperidone alone! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> I hope to build up a supply within a month... I wonder if it's possible? I am using the Madela Lactine on max. and it feels very comfy.
Very hopeful, Tami

Oh hon... I would not use max. It might feel good at the moment. But chances are your nipples are going to really start hurting. And high can cause tissue damage. I would stay with medium suction.

I agree with Nona...I can do a higher setting than minimum, but I feel it the next time I pump. I do the least that still gets the milk out.

Thanks!!!! I'm going to head this advice. Lenore has already told me so, but I'm a difficult customer...
