How long do you pump before...

your milk stops coming out?  Here I was worried about my supply and I'm to 30 minutes and it's still coming.  The right boob was slow to start, but is now producing more than the left...should I still try to drain them or stop?

    <- JEALOUS!  I think you're supposed to drain them otherwise you risk getting clogged ducts.

    I don't have an answer but you might get more responses asking the BF board. Smile

    If you stop before it is all out, your body will think you don't need that much and won't produce it.

    Drain them!

    My LC told me that pumping for more than 30 minutes can cause harm to your breasts... I only pump for 10-15 minutes and stop regardless of the flow.
