- OK, so now I've rented the killer Medela Lactina Breast Pump; still don't
- have much milk :-( despite a few days of pumping...but the baby's been
- sick (a diarrhea virus, yuck) and I've been busy with her. At least
- this pump doesn't pinch!
-
- I've been trying to eat well, drink a lot, rest (what's rest? :-) )
- etc. but still no luck.
-
- My question is: what stimulates milk production the most, frequency,
- total number of minutes a day, continuous stimulation, etc? Is there
- a difference between pumping, say, 4x/day every 6 hours, 6x/day every
- 4 hours, or 4x/day every 4 hours, with a break at night, assuming
- the total number of minutes stays the same?
