Pumping frequency when back at work?

Question

For the mamas who work outside the home and pump while at work: how often do you pimp? And for how long each session? I’ll be leaving for the office ~7:30am and getting home around 4:45pm. Thinking I’ll aim for 4 sessions @ 20 minutes each. Thoughts?? Those already back at work, what is working for you?!

Answer

I sometimes get busy, but make sure to not let more than 4 hours go by without pumping, but shoot for 2.5. I just pump until they're empty.

Answer

I go back next week. I am a RN and work 12 hour shifts in a hospital.  I plan on feeding my son before I leave,  and then pumping at  9, 1, and 5. I'll breastfeed at 8 when i get home.  I'll pump for 15 minutes.

Answer

Just wondering how you all manage at work with sterilising and washing the equipment after each pumping session?  I'm from the UK and also a nurse and we don't have any expressing facilities in our hospitals for returning to work.

Answer

I aim for 15-20 mins every 2-3 hours

Answer

I work 2 8’s and 2 12’s. I pump at 9 & 1 on my 8 hr shifts and 9, 1 & 5 on my 12 hr shifts. My LO sleeps through the night so I wake up to pump around 1/130 am and then again when I wake up at 5 am.

Answer

I leave for work at 7:15. I feed baby last about 6:30. I typically pump at 9:30,, 12:30 and 3.30. I work a fast paced job and it’s hard to get the time. sometimes can only pump for 7 minutes a time. I try for about 10 minutes a session.

Answer

I do 3 sessions for 20-25 min
I wake up at 5am so I pump then, get to the office at 7:30, pump at 830, then at 12, then 3, and I’m home by 530 and pump at 6 at home.

Answer

Very 4 hours for 30 mins.

Answer

I only have time to pump one time while working, and I try to aim for 30 mins but majority of the time it’s usually just for 20.
