Question for pumpers - Page 2 - Cloth Diapers & Parenting Community

Another question... Are you pumping long enough? I've found that sometimes I have to pump as long as 30 minutes (i.e. the later in the day it is the longer I have to pump). I don't know if your work situation would allow it, but it's worked for me. By the way I asked an LC about it and she said sometimes it just takes longer.

You feel like a pumping machine..I know...whoa..momma that had 20 oz every 3 hrs...I never even had close to that! Did you have milk to donate to LLL? I tried to nurse more frequently when I was around DD and I did have to supplement with formula as well.
