How long do u pump?
How long do I pump for? LC had me double pumping in 7 minute intervals- pump for 7, massage for 1, then pump again for 7. When do I pump longer? Or if my supply increases I should get more from same time right?

Are you just pumping or nursing as well?
I pump anywhere from 10-30 minutes depending upon my output. I pump as you described - pump 10, off for five, pump 10, repeat if necessary.

I never go more than 15 minutes, but I don't take a break. Usually it's only 10 min though

I'm pumping either between nursing or at night before I go to bed (I'm only nursing during the day but one time they get expressed breast milk in bottle). I also just pumped at new time today when I usually nurse and only got 2.5 ounce but I know when she has bottle of formula she gets 4- worried I'm just providing a snack when she nurses.

How old is your DC?
My DS "snacked" until 5.5-6 months old. Only recently has he been on a more predictable schedule (he'll be 7 months next week).

I actually have twins- but she's the big eater usually. They r little still- 6 weeks. But they were going 3-4 hrs when I supplement though.

I pumped b/w 20-30 minutes making sure to get at least 2 let downs (no break would just change the pump setting back to let down)
