Home Forums Induced Lactation aka Adoptive Breastfeeding Medical Interventions to Induce Lactation/Increase Milk Supply It's me again with pumping questions

I am pumping and seeing more and more drops with each pumping (still very few, but at least they are there!). However, the first day it took a few minutes to see anything and now when I start pumping the milk comes out within seconds (again, they are drops). As I pump it seems to stop and after about 15 minutes I usually don't see anything - it just stops coming out. Is this "normal" or should I expect this?

How long could it possibly take before I'm seeing anything to talk about? LOL! I'm getting impatient already......

This is normal. The reason you see drops right away is because the milk had pooled up in the resivour behind the nipple. So you are able to pump it right out. As you remove all the milk in your breasts the drops stop coming. I would suggest not pumping for less than 20 minutes. I always started getting drops again after 20 minutes. ITs the second letdown. Your supply will continue to build
