How long do you pump?
I was curious how long everyone pumps? Like how many minutes at a time...
I have been having issues getting DS to stay latched- he only wants to eat for 4-7mins on each side then gets fussy & won't re-latch no matter how many times I switch him back & forth. I have noticed when pumping I stop getting anything after 3-5mins- I have tried continuing to pump got up to 15mins, but all I get is sore nipples.
Do you think this is why DS unlatches? Do you think I could be emptying out that fast?? I don't get it.
