Thank you so much for all of the input! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/second-letdown#post-1058504 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 07:28:10 +0000 Smurfette 1058504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>10-15 mins </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/second-letdown#post-1058434 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 02:30:51 +0000 LaineysMom 1058434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>10 - 15 minutes.. If I'm preoccupied and pump until 30 I can usually get a third.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/second-letdown#post-1056638 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 19:24:25 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1056638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It depends but I would pump for 5 min after there was hardly anything coming out, and then all of a sudden it would start pouring out again for a couple more minutes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/second-letdown#post-1056568 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 18:54:58 +0000 DillonLion 1056568@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>12-15 mins in I get a final big letdown. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/second-letdown#post-1056555 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 18:49:10 +0000 mrs.cookie 1056555@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get a second letdown when pumping at anywhere between 10-20 mins, but I didn't realise for ages and was stopping after the first one. Keep going for a bit longer and see what happens! It doubled my production :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/second-letdown#post-1056509 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 18:27:39 +0000 SleepyMonkey 1056509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a big letdown at tr beginning then a small one at around 10 mins and another big one at around 17. I've stopped pumping past 15 mins though since I'm weaning in a couple months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/second-letdown#post-1056456 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 18:03:02 +0000 edelweiss 1056456@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my first letdown lasts for a little under 10 minutes. then i have to keep pumping for at least 5-7 minutes (probably closer to 7) for the second letdown. i'm amazed that people have a continuous flow for so long! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/second-letdown#post-1056404 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 17:33:05 +0000 chopsuey 1056404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I pumped I got a second letdown anywhere from 10-20 mins.<br /> When I nurse I can get 3-4 let downs in a 20 min span sometimes. It's crazy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/second-letdown#post-1056389 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 17:21:34 +0000 autumnlove 1056389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About 20 minutes after I start pumping. I pump 25-30 minutes per session. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/second-letdown#post-1056355 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 16:56:06 +0000 Mommytotwois 1056355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow! I usually stop after about 15 minutes because they slow to a slow drip...drip..drip, so maybe if I just keep going I will get another good flow? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/second-letdown#post-1056348 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 16:52:47 +0000 Boheme 1056348@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually get a second one about 10 minutes in to the session. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/second-letdown#post-1056346 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 16:51:04 +0000 Bookish 1056346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: same! I just get a continuous flow. I feel my letdowns and I've never felt it twice while pumping...and I've pumped for a good 30+ mins before </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/second-letdown#post-1056337 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 16:47:04 +0000 Anagram 1056337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel my letdowns and I've never had a second. However, when I pump, my boobs will just keep going, so I can pump for 15 or 35 minutes and still have a steady drip going. When I get distracted and pump a long time ( like 32 minutes) I might pump 10-11 oz in that session. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/second-letdown#post-1056318 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 16:40:41 +0000 Mommytotwois 1056318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I see so many of you bee's talk about pumping and massaging until you get a second letdown. I always feel my letdown and I was wondering about how long it takes for a second letdown? I know this is going to get varied answers but if it will help get more milk I'm all for any answers! Thank you :happy: </p>
