about 20 min and I get anywhere between 1-2 ounces. I try to pump or nurse every 2-3 hours to keep my supply up.

Re: how long do you pump?

i get about 7 oz in 15 min from each breast! I double pump so I get 14 oz per 15 min. Last week I needed just 3 oz for when I would not be home, it took about 5 min.

Re: how long do you pump?

I pumped, but didn't nurse also. I would pump 8x a day (for the first 5 months) for 30 minutes each time. I made enough milk for Molly's day plus sometimes a 4-6oz freezer bag, depending on her eating habits for the day.

I also drank water, eat oatmeal and took Feenugeek to help with my supply.
Editted to add: I used a hospital grade pump for 12 weeks then used my PISA for the rest of the year.

Re: how long do you pump?

I really hate pumping, I just find it so annoying!!! I usually pump for about 15-20 min total and I can get anywhere between 1oz and 5oz (that is from both boobs). I nurse often throughout the day but I've been pumping an hour and half after my first nursing in the AM to keep up my supply.

I'm pretty close to that, but 15 minutes would be both sides and about 6-12 ounces depending on when I fed my son. I have an extremely high supply and a very quick letdown. Chat Icon

I used to pump for about 30 minutes total (15 minutes on each side) and I could get up to 6- 7oz total. I never actually nursed either, only pumped.
