2. 240-Minute Rule for the First 12 Weeks

from Pump with Purpose Hosted by Dr. Dianna Dixon

I have seen the 120-minute rule mentioned for the exclusively pumping community. I am not sure where this rule originated and I am not saying that this rule is inaccurate in any way. In my professional opinion (and from working with many of my clients), I feel that the 240-minute rule for the first 12 weeks is a better baseline to effectively establish milk supply and potentially create an oversupply as long as there are no underlying conditions. What is the 240-minute rule? In my opinion, the 240-minute rule is a best practice to establishing and maintaining a supply as well as potentially creating an oversupply. This means that you should pump at least every 3 hours for 30 minutes for the first 12 weeks. After 12 weeks, you should reassess based on your pumping goals.
