I just added it up yesterday and I spent 180 minutes (3 hours) pumping! That's 1/8 of a day!!! And that doesn't even count set-up and break-down!
How much of your day is pumping??

About 1 hour, not including set up and getting back to my desk at work. I guess I could pump more, but I often have tons of conference calls and other things that can making pumping hard. I wish I had an office! I may start pumping at night before bed again, but I'm still undecided about that.

@BKCaribBaby: @autumnlove: Jealous of your girls! My supply has been tanking and I'm still trying to provide Xander with 18 oz each day, so I spend 80 minutes at work pumping and 100 minutes at home!! My evenings are filled with power pumping!

4days a week, 60-80 minutes, depending on how many pumping sessions I do at work. 3 days a week, 0 minutes.

Oh geesh that's so much! I EP and do 4 sessions at roughly 20 mins each so lets round up and say an hour and a half? Maybe I should stop complaining as much, huh?

About an 1 and 15 minutes including setup and breakdown. I'm down to 2 sessions at work. It used to be a lot longer in the beginning.

@Adira: My supply has been wonky lately as well. I may need to go back to pumping before bed. I have a small freezer stash that I might want to build up as I'm hoping to transition to just nursing her in the morning and evening and no pumping at work around her 1st birthday. We'll see. I so impressed with your pumping though! You're like my pumping idol.

@swedishfish: Jealous!!!
@BKCaribBaby: haha, thanks! My supply has been tanking, so I've been pumping like a mad woman to get it back up! I'm happy to say that all this pumping is FINALLY paying off!! After only being able to 15 oz TOPS for the past couple weeks, I was able to get 17 oz on Thursday and 19 oz yesterday!!!
