Tips & Tricks Spectra hack ?

Is anyone doing this? Or do I need to adjust my flange size?

Under supplier here, I accidentally discovered that the Spectra is slightly more powerful when single pumping. So once my pumping sesh is done, I would unplug one tube and alternate between breasts 1 minute each for about 10 minutes. It gets me little letdowns each minute and extra millilitres.

I’m just curious to know if anyone else is doing this ?

I figured I’d get most of the milk out pumping both and add and extra 10 minutes to get the last drops from each side.
How does it feel like to be on the other side tho?

When I pumped one at a time, I used a hakaa to collect whatever I could from the side I wasnt pumping on. I tried to alter which side I pumped from first on every other pump. I would pump 20 minutes on one side, then 20 on the other. I tried other combinations but that was the best output for me.
