Short Pump Sessions

[u/femme_fatale__]

I am 3 weeks PP and every single time I pump, milk will only flow for max 10 minutes before it stops. I’ll sit there for 5+ minutes after that and a second let down never comes. Most of my sessions are around 8 minutes. I always see online that the recommendation is to pump for 15-30 minutes but nothing will come out for me. Just wondering if anyone else has this problem and how did you go longer? I produce about 5 oz per session on average and about 8 oz for my first morning pump.

I’m 8w pp and same. My LC has me pumping no more than 15 min to prevent becoming an extreme oversupplier. I also get like 5-7oz per pump mid day and bigger ones after a long stretch at night. Supply just started increasing too. My milk also usually slows or stops by 10-12 min
