Pumping Questions
Do you all massage prior? How long do we pump, is 15 minutes enough since after 10 I barely have any drops ? Also, what do you use to wipe boobs prior or after?
I’m an EP mum. Used to pump 30 min then reduced to 20 and now 15 because like what u said, hardly anything after 10min anyway. But I will always finish with hand expression. You will be surprised that even though when u pump past 10 min there seems to be no more milk, but when you hand express there’s plenty more (at least 10 ml).
Read moreI used to massage before pumping in the first 2-3 months then got lazy and stopped 😛. For me also it only takes 10 minutes to reach maximum amount but it's good to go a bit longer than that, maybe 15 min if you want to stimulate more milk production.
My first one I pumped 30 mins for a year and a half! Was an EP mummy. Now for second one I more wary already, if around 15mins my boobs are soft I stop. My masseur said 15-20 mins is enough.
Thanks, cos after 10 mins i got nothing coming out le so not sure how long i shld continue..
I usually do 20 mins, sometimes 25. I notice I can achieve more let downs sometimes after 20mins. Used to use nipple cream but now just use a small towel to wipe my nips after pump.
every person differs... i had very low supply no matter what i tried & being stressed about it made it worse 😔

I shower or wash my breast with warm water first then massage my breast during each pump
I use baby wet wipes. My 1 pump session is 30 min in order to clear my boobs.
I don't massage. I just pump for 15m and I use a tissue to wipe.
I didnt see difference between massage and none so .. 😅
