Info
How often should you pump?
•
A breast pump is a replacement for
when you are separated from your
baby. It is important to pump when
the baby would be breastfeeding,
which usually means a working
mother pumps 2-3 times during an
8 hour working day.
• How long should your pumping
session last?
Pumping times can vary from
mother to mother sometimes 15
minutes, sometimes up to 30
minutes.
• How should your breasts feel
after pumping?
After pumping, your breasts should
feel soft and there should be no firm
areas. Before pumping, your breasts
will have a firm, heavy feeling. After
pumping make sure your breasts
are not firm or have lumpy areas.
This could indicate that the breast is
not draining all over. See Section 6
for more information.
