How long does it take you to pump fully in a session?

Question

I exclusively pump. 
It takes me sooo long to empty my breasts, sometimes 45 minutes. I use Spectra s2, which I think is supposed to be strong. 
I put it on highest setting L 5), cycle 70. 
Anyone else has this issue? Any suggestions to improve it? Baby was taking so long to eat on breasts which is why I switched to pumping.

Answer

I have a Medela, but also I have. Very fast and strong let down so my breast’s will be empty in 10-15 minutes. I pump every 2-4 hours and get 2-3 oz per breast each time.

Answer

Level 5 cycle 70 is only for the let down stage after that you need to hit the button that has the little lines on it and it'll change to pump mode then it goes up to level 12 with 36 cycles which I think is crazy I use levels 2 to 5 Max.

Answer

How many ounces are you getting? 
My supply is a but on the low end. When I pump it's only for about 10min per boob then I am on empty 😕

Answer

Massage, use warm compresses before and during pumping. And lecithin is supposed to thin out milk to help empty.

Answer

I’m no help as I barely need 15 minutes to empty mine (fast letdown). I have the S9 which has less settings, but massage only goes to level 5. After letdown, you need to switch to vacuum and there’s more levels of suction. On vacuum I can’t get above a 6 and I Max out at 5 on the massage.

Answer

Highest setting doesn’t mean best output. Everyone’s breast responds differently and that’s why spectra has different levels.
