Currently I pump each breast for about 10 minutes after most feedings. I'm noticing little one is eating a lot more per feeding so I'm not able to stash away as much as I once was. How much longer should I pump for to trigger my body into producing more milk?

At lest 5 minutes past the last drops of milk to produce more.

That seems like plenty. You actually don't want to produce a ton more than he eats because that can lead to an oversupply that has its own problems.
