Max pumping time
Is there a reason why several sources on pumping mention that the
maximum time at each session using any type of pump should be no more than 30 min? Is to ensure the mom doesn't develop over active letdown? Or is it because or some other reason I don't know? I'm one of those who has never seen an OAL. I experienced engorgement but not where I had pain/plugged ducts or such stuff. I have letdowns few minutes into nursing/pumping. So does this 30 min limit apply for moms like me too? Thanks. |

Being a BFAR mom, I'm a bit different; however, I've never had a problem pumping for 30+ mins. My IBCLC first told me to stop after 15, but when we discussed how much more I got when I went for a longer time, she told me just to stop when I didn't see any drops for 30 seconds. I usually have to pump 30 mins to get enough to make the session worthwhile. Jennifer in AZ EPing for Carter, 6.5 months |

I think it is more so that you don't damage your nipples/breast tissue.
Pumps aren't really made to get milk out like babies are - so a 30 min pumping session isn't like a 30 min feeding session, as a baby (with a correct attachment and suck, etc) is more gentle.
