I feel like I don’t really know what a let down is supposed to look or feel like. I have a spectra s1 and I usually start on massage mode for 2 minutes then switch to cycle 50 and vacuum 5-8 as tolerated. When I’m on the massage mode I start to dribble milk very slowly almost right away, but I can’t feel my let down and I don’t have an obvious increase in the rate of milk flowing until after I switch to the higher vacuum settings. I will occasionally get sprays for a minute or two after switching settings, but then it’s mostly just drips and I need to massage during pumping to get close to empty. I did previously have a very slight oversupply and would get consistent sprays from my right breast, but since my second bout of mastitis I’ve had a significant undersupply and a lot less spraying. I just wish there were like videos I could watch of other people pumping to see if I’m doing it right.
