What if I told you pumping schedules could be hurting your milk supply instead of increasing milk supply?

If you’ve been told you must stick to a rigid pumping routine to boost output… it’s time to rethink the rules.

In this episode of the Breastfeeding with Confidence Podcast, I’m pulling back the curtain on what really works to increase your milk supply—and spoiler alert: it’s not about strict pumping schedules to increase your milk supply.

You’ll hear Sylvie’s story—a mom who went from feeling like she had no choice but to wean to watching her supply jump from 10 to 16 ounces with just a few key shifts (no stress or marathon pump sessions required).

Whether you’re exclusively pumping, combo feeding, or just trying to build a freezer stash, this episode is packed with real solutions that actually support your body’s design.

💡 What You’ll Learn:

1. Why rigid pumping schedules can backfire—and what to do instead

2. How pump fit and flange size affect your milk output (and your sanity)

3. The power of switching to the right pump for your body

4. Simple lubrication hacks that protect your nipples and support flow

5. What’s inside the Pumping with Confidence guide and how to get early access
