Pumping Questions

ǟʍ • Sun, Apr 16

1. Is there a difference between power pumping and just pumping for an hour straight?

2. I often pump for 40 (rather than the recommended 20) minutes and will still get a letdown at the end. Is my body just continuing to make more milk as I pump, or is my pump so inefficient that it takes me double the time to empty?

3. For women with good supplies, do you spray the entire time you pump? I always struggle to keep a decent supply (still have to supplement), and during a 40 minute pumping session I might have 3-4 let downs where I spray milk, but not much else comes out between those times. Is that normal?
