info
• how often should you pump? A
breastpump 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 2-3
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 30 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 7 for
more information.
