Ok….so
power-pumping is what you should do when your milk-flow drop.
When
power pumping, you will pump for 20mins, rest 10mins, pump again 10 mins then
rest again, then pump again for 10mins. Means in total you need about 50-1hr.
Well there is no definite time actually. Some pump for about 10 mins, rest 10
and repeat till 1 hour. (That’s what I did).
Why
power-pump? Power-pump, in addition to drinking enough water and eating
sensibly, can actually boost your milk-production. What it is supposed to do is
actually sending signals to the brain that the baby needs more milk (through
the suction)…hence the body will produce more milk. Forget the expensive
milk-booster…this one is a definite success…just remember to eat and drink
enough water.
I
guess a much disciplined mom will do this at the same time every day. As for
me, I power pump anytime I can. It was such a success to me that I guess I am
addicted to it. It is tiring…mind you…sitting there for 1 hour…but the result
is so convincing. Give it few days for the milk to come in…some said 3 days…some
maybe less or more. Persevere..insya allah you will get the reward. :)
