Pump duration to stimulate milk

Question

Ftm here, and would like to know. I heard that some mom’s milk or even colostrum wont be in until few days after delivery and heard that we would or we can pump to stimulate milk production. In the event if we pump regularly every 2-3 hrs but still little to no milk, do we continue pumping for 15-20mins every session ? #firsttimemom #advicepls

you can continue pumping if you have the energy.. i was also advised to keep pumping but didn’t do it diligently because i was exhausted, but the milk still kicked in on it’s own on day 3 and i had oversupply all the way for a year.
