Usually I pump 15-20 mins.

Pumping: 20 minutes with both going at once.
When M was young and breastfeeding, she would stay on there forever!! I was so glad when she became more efficient, now she takes less than 5 minutes on each side.

I'm lazy and only pump for like 15 minutes. 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.

Usually 15 minutes, but if it's going really well, 20-25 is not unheard of.

I can usually get a second let down at 20 min so I do 25 min to make sure I get that second one

Rarely more than 15 minutes, I quit worrying about the second letdown to preserve sanity!

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).

I only pumped for maybe 5 minutes. I wouldn't get anymore even after 15-20 minutes, it just became painful.

I pump for 25, tried reducing to 20 but started getting a third let-down (although shorter) right around 19min so I went back to 25 or until that let-down is done.
