I wouldn't get anymore even after 15-20 minutes, it just became painful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-pump-for#post-473703 Tue, 01 Jan 2013 12:30:02 +0000 lovehoneybee 473703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably 10-15 minutes, and I get two let-downs. I try to pump once a day, but I BF on demand, so it really depends on how often DS wants to nurse (lately it's all.the.time). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-pump-for#post-473689 Tue, 01 Jan 2013 12:25:14 +0000 immabeetoo 473689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>15 minutes twenty if its still flowing </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-pump-for#post-473637 Tue, 01 Jan 2013 11:48:13 +0000 mrskc 473637@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>10-15 min.

LO still nurses for close to 30 minutes. The other day she nursed for FIFTY minutes when she woke up... But she had slept for 9 hours so I'm sure she was starving. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-pump-for#post-472511 Mon, 31 Dec 2012 14:09:00 +0000 MrsRcCar 472511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>15-25 minutes.

I was so glad when she became more efficient, now she takes less than 5 minutes on each side. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-pump-for#post-472506 Mon, 31 Dec 2012 14:08:26 +0000 plantains 472506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>30 minutes at a time.
