00:00Hi sweet souls, it's Sophie. I'm so glad you're here with me today. Being a new mama is such a
00:06beautiful, messy journey and I've been focusing so much on just being present lately. So I've
00:15been reaching for this manual pump quite a bit lately. It's honestly such a vibe. So simple
00:22and quiet. No loud motors, no being stuck to an outlet.
00:33I place the flange over the nipple making sure it's perfectly centered so there's no friction.
00:41We want a snug seal. I start with very light, short and quick squeezes of the handle. This is
00:49the stimulation phase. We are basically mimicking those first tiny sucks your baby does to trigger
00:57the let down reflex. It might take a minute or two so just be patient with yourself. Once you see
01:04the
01:04first few drops turn into a steady stream, that's your cue to switch it up. I transition into long,
01:12deep and slow pulls. Hold the handle down for a second or two at the end of the squeeze to
01:19really drain the ducts. And there we go. Look at that liquid gold. It never fails to amaze me what
01:27we're capable of. Thank you for spending these few minutes with me. Remember to be kind to yourself
01:34today, mama. You're literally a superhero, sending you so much warmth and light. See you soon.
