Breastfeeding

How long does it take for you to empty?

I pump for 25-30mins at a time.  I think it just takes forever for my letdown to come. I told a friend and she thought that was outrageous plus its very time consuming especially when at work. How long does it take you to fully empty when pumping?

  • I've never fully emptied... I only pump 15-20 minutes before calling quits out of discomfort or boredom or lack of room in the bottles....

  • I only pump for 10 minutes at a time.  I have 2 good letdowns within the 10 minutes.  I usually have the first letdown within the first minute of pumping and then the second will come right at the 10 minute mark.  I pump about 7-8oz in the 10 minutes.

  • I only pump for about 10 minutes, 15 max.  My letdown is really fast (less than a minute) and I empty pretty fast too.  I get 8-10 oz per session (I pump every 5 hours at work).  FWIW, I have an Ameda PY pump.
