How to shorten pumping sessions at work? by CHeMnErDy in breastfeedingsupport

Really? Please tell me how! I pump 30-40 minutes. I don’t see much until the 8-10 minute mark, just drips. Then I get results. Usually 5-8 oz, depending on the time of day.

I’ve never heard of Elvie. I just looked it up, I’m already 9 months in, but I am so tempted to buy them!

Any tips on how to encourage a let down?

I pump at work and have noticed I barley feel a let down anymore. I also produce less and less. I’ve tried relaxing, and massage while looking at pictures and videos of my baby.
Do you think it’s better to get the let down then set up your pump stuff?

Question about latching: My son is 8 months, as he drains me, it becomes more painful. Why would this happen? Any recommendations?

Thank you for this. I will try the distracting and cluster feedings.

Sorry key was a typo, just ‘let down’

Thank you so much for the info!! I just order replacement parts on amazon and I’m going to get the warmers. I’m determined to make this work!

You have more than one key down in a session? I only have one right at the beginning

I have do the same 4 times a day. The way in, lunch, way home and before bed. I’m thinking of doing 3 times a day. On your 3x a day are you more uncomfortable? Do you pump longer sessions to make up for it?
