I How often should you breastpump? A breastpump is a replacement for
when you are separated from your baby. It is important to breastpump when
the baby would be breastfeeding. If you are exclusively breastpumping, 6 to 8
breastpumping sessions per 24 hours is recommended.
I How long should your breastpumping session last? Breastpumping times
can vary from mother to mother, however, if you are breastpumping both
breasts simultaneously at Maximum Comfort Vacuum, your breastpumping
session should last up to 15 minutes.
I How should your breasts feel after breastpumping? After breastpumping,
your breasts should feel soft and there should be no fi rm areas. Before
breastpumping, your breasts will have a fi rm, heavy feeling. After
breastpumping, make sure your breasts are not fi rm or have lumpy areas. This
could indicate that the breast is not draining all over. See Section 9 for more
information.
