So you’re pumping… but the output isn’t what you expected. Maybe you’re barely covering the bottom of the bottle. Maybe one session is great, and the next? Not so much. Or maybe pumping just feels straight-up uncomfortable.
Mama, we see you. And we get it.
Pumping can be frustrating when things aren’t flowing the way they should. But before you start doubting yourself, let’s break it down. There’s always a reason—and a fix.
The Real Reasons Your Pump Output is Low (And How to Fix It!)
🍼 Is Your Flange Size Holding You Back?
A bad flange fit can be a game-changer—and not in a good way. Too small? Your nipple might feel pinched or sore. Too big? Your milk flow may suffer, and your areola could be pulled in too much. Most pumps come with standard sizes, but your body might need something different.
🕒 Are You Pumping Enough (Or Too Much)?
Not enough sessions? Your body thinks baby doesn’t need the milk. Too many? You could end up with clogs, oversupply, or burnout. It’s all about finding your balance.
💧 Why Is My Output So Inconsistent?
One day you’re flowing, the next it’s a trickle. Stress, hydration, pump settings, and your letdown reflex all affect milk output. The good news? Small changes = big results.
