How long do you pump at work ? I work a 8 hour shift and I take 3 pump breaks and pump for 10…

I take 2 breaks if I'm here 6 hrs or more, and pump for 15 min or more if I have time. Thinking if I need to pump today, she last ate at 9:30am and I'll be picking her up at about 1:30 🤔

I pump twice and 10mins each

Do you pump till you have a certain amount or do you do it to keep your supply up while being away from baby

Just to keep my supply up and my boobs not engorged 😩 @meganlhass, it gets so painful not releasing milk for 2 hours

@shylamarie, well then it probably would be better if you were to pump every 3-4 hours for 20 min instead of ten. You should pump just as if you were feeding your baby. So you should only have to pump 2 times at work instead of 3.

I was afraid that doing that would hurt my supply, but it seems to be the same 😋 I'm doing that now! Thanks! @meganlhass,

When you pump your simulating breast feeding. Your baby should eat every two to three hours about 2 ounces each time. So do 10 min on each side in one sitting. This also will help you produce more so that when your baby starts growing she will be able to get more from you. When I was pumping I found that the longer you pump the more you get.
