Pumping Moms- How long do you pump for?
I've heard anywhere from 10 minutes to 30 minutes.
How long do you do?

Re: Pumping Moms- How long do you pump for?
I only pump one side since dd eats the other. But it takes me about 15-20 minutes. This is using a hand pump and chasing a toddler lol It gives me 4-6 ounces depending on which breast I am pumping.
eta: If you are just pumping to get milk just go until the milk stops. If you are looking to boost supply go 5 minutes passed when the milk stops flowing

ITA everyone has different holding capacity so it's hard to say a time that works for everyone. Just watch your pump and you will see it.
FWIW, I pump for 15-20 usually

I pumped to build a freezer stash and then when I was back at work. I pumped for 15-20 minutes.

About 15 minutes (pump both breasts at the same time).
I still only produce 2 oz. per side

Re: Pumping Moms- How long do you pump for?
I get a 20 min break at work, so I split it & double pump for 10 min twice a day (I give myself a few extra min. to setup & breakdown each time). I'm fortunate in that I get to go home/to my parents house (depending on the day) to BF him during my lunch hour, so the 2 sessions is just enough for me to make enough for the next day (I don't pump at home & my freezer stash is tiny).
