Hey, mama's gotta make milk AND money, and time's limited. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-freestyle-pump-routine#post-1675234 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 11:34:18 +0000 autumnlove 1675234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: I think I need to amp it up, I will try 7-8 later! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-freestyle-pump-routine#post-1675213 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 11:25:55 +0000 Alivoo01 1675213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ShootingStar: Same here. I'm a 4. I just let the pump do it's own thing and I just sit there while browsing on Facebook. haha! I'll have to try and pump on a higher setting later this afternoon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-freestyle-pump-routine#post-1675135 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 11:05:47 +0000 ShootingStar 1675135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow I think I do level 3 or 4, max. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-freestyle-pump-routine#post-1674914 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 10:10:06 +0000 indi 1674914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I double pump at work and do 30 seconds of letdown pump on level 9, and then 7-10 minutes of pumping at level 7. Shut it off, wait 90 seconds, and pump for 6 more minutes at level 7. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-freestyle-pump-routine#post-1674872 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 10:00:16 +0000 Pumuckl 1674872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it was level 4 for the first 1.5-2min and then 4 for the next 10-15min. Then my harder to express right boob got power pumped for another 2-3min on 6-7 (one-sided). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-freestyle-pump-routine#post-1674839 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 09:44:31 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1674839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think about the same as you. Level 3-4 for the first two minutes and then up to 6-7 for the remainder. </p> <p>I did find that later towards the end of my year, I was upping the speed to an 8-9 and still was comfortable. I think by that point my nipples were numb! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-freestyle-pump-routine#post-1674768 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 09:13:20 +0000 theknest 1674768@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a level 4 pumper </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-freestyle-pump-routine#post-1674700 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 08:46:07 +0000 Anagram 1674700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Level 4 for the warm up time and level 5 the rest of the time.
