Previous Thread Next Thread Print Thread pumping for more than 7 minutes at a time #4968 12/27/04 08:04 PM A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A Hi there. I have been on the protocol for about 4 months, I think. I have just started pumping 3 days ago and am getting drops each time, which I'm really excited about. I was just wondering when you can start pumping for a whole 15 minutes at a time without having to stop and massage, jiggle, and tickle. I can still hand express multiple drops from each breast after the second half of a pumping session, too. Should I hand express after each pumping session? Just wanted to know. Thanks, IM to triplet girls @29 weeks tomorrow Copy Link to Clipboard

So experiment and see how your body reacts. If hand expressing after the pumping sessions works for you by all means keep it up. You seem to be doing great so far!

If you would rather just pump for 15 minutes then its okay.. Adoptive mommy to 4 , Last 2 adopted nursed. Youngest nursed till she was 5!
