I pumped once at 10:30 and once at 2:30. I'd get a second letdown around 10-15 minutes in so I'd pump for 15-20 minutes.

I pumped 2-3x/day for 10-20+ minutes. I could work while pumping so sometimes I'd pump for 20+ because I'd get into something and lose track of time. Idk how beneficial that extra time was.

My schedule varied so much but pumping 3x for 10 minutes seemed to yield more than 2x for 15 minutes. I kept my pumping stuff in a refrigerator so set-up/tear-down wasn't overly time-consuming.

I pump every three hours for 20-25 minutes.

2 or 3 times a day depending upon the day and how I felt. Usually at least 20 minutes, but I was still in the early days and wanted to make sure that my supply was good. S ate for 20 minutes so I wanted to pump that long. I was also still getting milk.

3-4 times a day for 20-25 mins I always waited for my second letdown because I needed every drop of milk

I pumped three times a day, usually for about 20 mins each. I usually just watched the flow and knew when I should stop.

@Adira: Thats a strange recommendation. I've learned that you should pump for at least 15 mins. And 20 is perfectly fine, esp if you know you get a second letdown. At work I always pumped every 3 hours for 20 mins.

This time around I pump at 9:30, 1200 and 300. I always need 15-30 minutes. If I just have up at 15 I would barely get an ounce.

@Adira: so I feel like this 15min max is a new thing. Everything I remember reading the first time around said 15m minimum. Now you're probably the third person I've heard that had a LC tell them 15m maximum. I obviously don't agree with that!
