It's funny how I can feel it so strongly when Olive is nursing, but I can't feel it at all when pumping. autumnlove on "How long do you pump at each session?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-pump-at-each-session#post-209633 Tue, 03 Jul 2012 08:13:52 +0000 autumnlove 209633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I pump for 15-20 minutes at work. I usually pump for 20-25 minutes at home. littlek on "How long do you pump at each session?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-pump-at-each-session#post-209629 Tue, 03 Jul 2012 08:11:05 +0000 littlek 209629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I pump for 15 - 20 mins. pinkcupcake on "How long do you pump at each session?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-pump-at-each-session#post-209519 Tue, 03 Jul 2012 00:49:23 +0000 pinkcupcake 209519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I use the Medela Lactina, and I usually pump for 15 minutes. I used to pump for 10, but I noticed if I kept going, I would have a second letdown around the 12 minute mark...

I only pump for maybe 5 minutes. 10 max? Maybe I should pump for longer...but I always get 4-5 ounces every 3 hours. regberadaisy on "How long do you pump at each session?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-pump-at-each-session#post-209427 Mon, 02 Jul 2012 20:20:02 +0000 regberadaisy 209427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ At least 20 minutes sometimes 30 even. As long as it takes for my letdown to happen. plaidpants on "How long do you pump at each session?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-pump-at-each-session#post-209421 Mon, 02 Jul 2012 20:14:18 +0000 plaidpants 209421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I usually try to pump for at least 15 minutes (with a double electric pump). I stay on even after I'm not getting anything in the hope that I will get a second letdown, or to at least stimulate production. I need to increase my supply! Sometimes at work I have to cut it short, so I might only stay on for 5 or 10 minutes, but I figure that's better than nothing. ETA: I have pretty fast letdown, so the majority of the time I spend on the pump is post-letdown. mediagirl on "How long do you pump at each session?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-pump-at-each-session#post-209412 Mon, 02 Jul 2012 20:07:57 +0000 mediagirl 209412@https://boards.hellobee.com/ How long do you pump? Do you ever pump for shorter or longer amounts of time? Why?
