Home Forums Induced Lactation aka Adoptive Breastfeeding Medical Interventions to Induce Lactation/Increase Milk Supply first time pumping

I rented a hospital grade pump (symphony) even though I have a PIS.

I think there might be something wrong with one of the sides because my left side got drops so I then took the suction thingy that I was using on my left and used it on my right and I started to get drops by the end. So I think one of the tubes aren't working right. Either way I'm excited that I got drops my first time. That was not expected. I didn't expect to get drops for a few days.

ive heard you should try putting it up to your cheek and see if you feel the suction. that will tell you if its broken...

There is definitely suction. So I'm guessing my left side is just a better producer at this point. hmmm.

My left side produces most of my milk. I get 7 ounces from my left and only 2 or less a day from my right! It has always been that way and probably always will be.
