Originally I did not want to use the preemie setting but I was sold on the fact that the pump turns off after 15 minutes and has a pattern I can instruct the mothers on. In addition, women who were started with the standard setting and switched to the preemie setting have told me the preemie setting was much gentler. I do turn the suction pressure up to 3 drops if it feels comfortable and by the time they transition to the standard setting, they've gotten used to what pumping feels like.
