Using a breast pump while breastfeeding is normal, and moms don't have to be shy. If mothers usually go out, they can pump out the milk, store it with an electric breast pump, and feed it to the baby when the baby is hungry, so that even if the mother is not around, the baby can still drink milk every day. So how often should a mother use a breast pump? How to control the time of each pumping?
1. Time control of using an electric breast pump

Usually, using an electric breast pump should not exceed 5 minutes each time, while using a manual breast pump to express milk, if you want to express 60-125ml of milk, it will take 10 minutes, but the specific situation is different. The time required is also different. It is recommended that mothers do not use the breast pump for a long time, so as not to cause breast damage and affect breastfeeding.
If the mother is on maternity leave, it is advisable to use a breast pump occasionally and to focus on direct feeding. If the mother starts to go to work, she might as well use a breast pump every day. At work, you can express milk twice a day, once at about 10 am and once at about 3 pm. If you can go home at noon, then breastfeed yourself. If you can't go home at noon, you can only express more milk each time to ensure that your baby can still drink milk when you are away.
