How long do you typically pump for?

Question

I only pump at night right before bed bc my baby gets one bottle of formula to help boost weight gain. I only pump about 10 minutes and get 3-4 ounces. 😬 is that not long enough? My baby is 2.5 months old.

Answer

Are you saying you only pump the one time because you're nursing the rest of the time? Assuming you are, you should pump for 15 to 20 minutes. And check the power on your pump, usually you want to increase the suction until it hurts, then do just under that. Because of you are pumping with low suction, you might not be getting everything out.
