[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I EP'd for a year and also was very prone to clogs. I took soy lecithin to help with the clogs and also made sure to never sleep on my side or back or in any position that would squeeze my breast.

Are you using a hospital-grade pump? I rented one for the full year and kept it for home use (bought a Freestyle for work and on-the-go purposed) because I found it was more powerful and did a better job of getting me empty.

Sounds like your baby is still quite young?  I pumped around the clock for the first 12 weeks to establish supply and was ultimately able to drop to 4 pumps a day getting between 36-40oz total.  I don't know if that is helpful or not.[/quote]

I’m taking that too to help with the clogs.

I have both a Spectra ( blue one) and the MomCozy S12 double pump. I prefer the MomCozy because I can do other things and not be tied to the couch. I only use the Spectra for the morning pump when I get a lot of milk. It’s easier to use the hands free.

He’s two weeks old. I pump 6-8 times a day. I’m making close 45-60oz a day. I leaked loads of colostrum and was able to save 52 syringes worth. [/quote]
