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 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 20 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 11 for more information.
