Power pumping is a method recommended by health care experts to increase the amount of milk and to stabilize fluctuating amounts of milk. In contrast, there are some people who need to crank their Spectra pumps up to Level 12 vacuum (the highest setting) and some people who respond very well to that long pull of the Baby Buddha pump.

Some people respond better to softer suction or massage modes than any expression mode.
