Pump for the same duration each time?

Wanted to know what you all thought about pumping for the same duration each time I pump. Or, should I vary it? Thanks for your help.

That depends on how often you're pumping and if they're even spaced out or not.
If you pump 8xday you'll generally want to pump for 15-20 min or 5 min past when your milk stops flowing-whichever is longer.
The fewer pumps you're at the longer you'll normally have to pump to empty.
Thank you so much!!!! This really helps! I am so glad I found this discussion board. Thanks again!!!
