I’m an EP mum. Used to pump 30 min then reduced to 20 and now 15 because like what u said, hardly anything after 10min anyway. But I will always finish with hand expression. You will be surprised that even though when u pump past 10 min there seems to be no more milk, but when you hand express there’s plenty more (at least 10 ml).
I used to massage before pumping in the first 2-3 months then got lazy and stopped 😛. For me also it only takes 10 minutes to reach maximum amount but it's good to go a bit longer than that, maybe 15 min if you want to stimulate more milk production.
My first one I pumped 30 mins for a year and a half! Was an EP mummy. Now for second one I more wary already, if around 15mins my boobs are soft I stop. My masseur said 15-20 mins is enough.
Thanks, cos after 10 mins i got nothing coming out le so not sure how long i shld continue..
I usually do 20 mins, sometimes 25. I notice I can achieve more let downs sometimes after 20mins. Used to use nipple cream but now just use a small towel to wipe my nips after pump.
every person differs... i had very low supply no matter what i tried & being stressed about it made it worse 😔
👍
I shower or wash my breast with warm water first then massage my breast during each pump
I use baby wet wipes. My 1 pump session is 30 min in order to clear my boobs.
I don't massage. I just pump for 15m and I use a tissue to wipe.
I didnt see difference between massage and none so .. 😅
