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

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.
-
@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
-
I usually get a second one about 10 minutes in to the session.
-
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?
-
About 20 minutes after I start pumping. I pump 25-30 minutes per session.
-
When I pumped I got a second letdown anywhere from 10-20 mins.
When I nurse I can get 3-4 let downs in a 20 min span sometimes. It's crazy! -
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!
-
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.
-
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
-
12-15 mins in I get a final big letdown.
-
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.
-
10 - 15 minutes.. If I'm preoccupied and pump until 30 I can usually get a third..
-
10-15 mins

I wasn't on HB all weekend but after reading all of these, I think I will start pumping longer! Thank you so much for all of the input!
