What is the longest you have gone between pumping?

I usually go about 10 hours at night, but have gone 12. During the day I try to pump every 3-4 hours but yesterday I went almost 7.

6 or 7 hours and was super engorged, and I don't make it a common occurance because days after i notice a drop in my supply

i usually pump every 3-4 hours to keep up on my supply

I go 7hrs through the night and wake up super engorged, but during the day I pump every 4-4.5. At work I have gone 5 because of a meeting running over and someone else pumping so I had to wait. That was too painful for me, so I try as best as I can to only go 4ish.

I have gone 10-12 hours before on the weekend, just because I really wanted to stay in bed and get some rest. Otherwise, I generally pump every 5-7 hours. I did have a dip in supply a couple of weeks ago, but I think that was due to the raging case of mastitis I got from trying to return to nursing. Needless to say, I'm an EP'er again. My supply is just now getting back to normal, I hope. I've had to raid my freezer stash in the meantime. I didn't pump any more frequently, or try any supplements, I just wasn't going to stress about it. If I have to supplement, so be it. But....looks like I won't have to!!

Wow, that was more than anyone wanted to know... Stick out tongue
