Tips for achieving let-down while expressing

“Looking at photos or videos of my kids on my phone helps, or licking your gums helps stimulate the hormones.” 
Jocee  

“Relax, look at baby or photos of baby, nipple stimulation.” 
Georgia  

“I must be feeling relaxed or it won’t start to flow.” 
Ashleigh  

“A hot wheat bag and some massage.” 
Selkirk  

If your milk flow slows down while expressing, you can turn the pump down low again for quick suck stimulation to try and achieve another let-down, then bring the suction up slowly for more milk flow. 

Having a good breast pump can be essential. The Unimom two-phase breast pumps have the option to turn back to massage mode for an extra let-down, and another expressing cycle to gain maximum milk volume.  

Unimom breast pumps are distributed by a midwife and mother who did her research through trial and error to provide the best and most efficient, high-quality breast pumps to New Zealand and Australia. They have been a trusted brand with families and health professionals since 2010, with continuous quality improvement to make them superior and unique. They are used in many hospitals and are helping mums everywhere as reliable, affordable breastfeeding aids.
