Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I pump if exclusively pumping?
Exclusive pumpers should pump 8-10 times per day in the early weeks to establish supply, similar to a newborn's feeding pattern. After 12 weeks with established supply, many can reduce to 6-7 sessions.
How many times should I pump at work?
Most working mothers pump 2-3 times during a standard 8-9 hour workday, roughly every 3 hours. You'll also nurse at home in the morning and evening. Aim to pump as many times as baby would normally feed while you're away.
