How many hours per pumping session?

Question

1 month postpartum. I have been doing direct latch + pump + FM. I hate pumping session🤣 to the point now i only pump every 4-5 hours. Is this okay?Though I noted seems there is decrease in supply especially in the afternoon. Noon time 40-70ml both sidesNight and morning 90-160 ml both sidesIs this normal? Any mummies doing 4-5hours pumping schedule as well? Initially i did 3 hours but i can no longer keep up. #FTM #firstbaby

4-5hourly is OK

Yes but supply will probably decrease overtime. But if you are okay with mix feeding then it shouldn’t be an issue, just give what you have then top up will do. 😊 There’s no standard amount, it depends on how much your baby drinks. It’s also normal for you to pump more at night. For me, I started pumping 4 hourly at about 7~8 months.
