First, there is THE STIMULATION PHASE
A fast-paced rhythm, about 120 cycles per minute, which stimulates the letdown.
Next, comes THE EXPRESSION PHASE
A slower rhythm, about 60 cycles per minute, that ensures a gentle and effective milk expression.
Infants instinctively understand how to express milk as fast and as effectively as possible. The research has demonstrated that babies begin feeding with quick jerky movements to stimulate the letdown. Once the milk starts coming, babies slow down and continue at their own pace.*
