I usually get 3-6 total ounces per pumping. I keep thinking that lactation cookies will help, but I have a feeling I'm mostly into them for the taste. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-pump#post-574260 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 00:59:42 +0000 Mrs. Superhero 574260@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>See, this is why I quit. I was pumping 45-60 minutes to get an oz if I was lucky. My body just doesn't like pumping past the oversupply stage. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-pump#post-574258 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 00:56:54 +0000 Running Elley 574258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FutureMrsMcK: That's an awesome amount!

Used to be 20 mins but now I'm down to 15ish! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-pump#post-573847 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 22:24:30 +0000 mrskc 573847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>15-20 minutes. It takes me a bit to get a letdown and sometimes I'll even get a third letdown towards the end of 20 minutes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-pump#post-573814 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 22:15:11 +0000 lovehoneybee 573814@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>5-10 minutes usually gets me two letdowns, 10-12 oz total. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-pump#post-573809 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 22:14:01 +0000 travelgirl1 573809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>10 minutes. I never like to pump too much in case she wants to feed soon after and them gets mad when the cupboards are bare. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-pump#post-573756 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 21:58:46 +0000 mrsjazz 573756@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I pump for 15-20 minutes. 15 minutes used to be the magic number for some reason it takes way longer for my letdown to begin lately. I don't know if it's a pump issue or just my boobies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-pump#post-573750 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 21:58:26 +0000 Mrs. Bee 573750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>15 minutes. with charlie i would go longer since i was exclusively pumping, so 15-25 minutes. 25 minutes in my morning session because i would get so much (up to 12 ounces). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-pump#post-573740 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 21:57:09 +0000 DillonLion 573740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>20 minutes. There's a second let down around the 18/19/20 minute area so I like to wait for that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-pump#post-573653 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 21:38:41 +0000 matador84 573653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>me neither, i get really lazy. if nothing is coming out, the party is over! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-pump#post-573651 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 21:37:59 +0000 chopsuey 573651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know I should pump at least 15 mins, but most of the time I don't :P </p>
