Would have around minimum 3 hrs .
As that is typical baby feed periods .
What are your thoughts on that .
I don't know what is best, except for my reasoning of pushing in a lot of hours. I want to push in a lot of hours for now to keep the stimulation going now as my milk supply keeps growing. And I want to push for as much nipple development as I can. I'm hoping to at some point, get to a point where I can pump more in a way of maintaining the supply and for that every few hours would likely work the best. Right now I just want to keep pushing it as much as I can as this is very obviously working for both milk supply and nipple development. And for now, I have a lot of free time so why not.
I'm not following some protocol strictly with the pump, I'm just doing what works. Speaking of which, my milk supply is going way higher than before. My breasts have not dried during the morning at all, I've had to empty them few times and also empty the cups after pumping each time again. Also the usual high prolactin symptoms keep on persisting. Its a bit annoying but knowing what does it, I'll take it. Part of the deal for me as I'm so sensitive to hormone balance changes. Mood swings and dull headache isn't nice though.
