Q: How long should a pumping session last?

The first few days it is recommended to hand pump as it is more efficient with the drops of colostrum. You can double pump for 10-15 minutes per session for additional stimulation. Once your milk supply is established it is recommended to pump 15-30 minutes on average or 2-5 minutes after the last drop. It is better to pump both sides at the same time if possible.
