Tips to get 2nd letdown

I will always pump for 20 mins normally unless I have time & with no disturbance, then I'll go 30. But it's really hard for my boobs to get a 2nd letdown no matter how watch videos or photos of my baby or other babies, watch comedy all that, I will still get 1 letdown only. Any tips on that? Using Spectra S1 with the correct flange arcodding to my nipple size.

Hi mama! Great work on giving your baby breastmilk! 💪🏼 I like this article from kellymom.com : https://kellymom.com/bf/got-milk/supply-worries/letdown/ It speaks of letdowns being a conditioned reflex. So you have to train the brain and once it gets the hang of an association, it’ll learn to send signals for a faster letdown. It also suggests some tried and tested methods. Also, wondering if shorter but more frequent pump sessions do the trick :) Hope this works!

Hi! I did try shorter and frequent pump sessions about 10 mins but still the same. I only got 1 letdown 😞
