I had another thought.   I always seem to be able to pump more if I'm well hydrated and have been drinking a lot of water.  :)

Well, problem solved.  I'm using the Avent Isis manual pump.  I pumped 4oz in 8 minutes yesterday.  I used to pump for 10 minutes on the Medela mini-electric and only get about an ounce.

Thanks for the help!   :)

You can pump on one side while nursing on the other (especially with a hand pump). I've never been that coordinated! Plus my DS is way too distractable!

Thanks Jennifer for posting this!

I use the medela pump in style, but I've been wondering about a manual pump for times when I'm lazy.  Right now I a can usually pump about 3-5 oz. in fifteen mins (both breasts).

I've decided to give the Medela Harmony pump a whirl. ;D  It has terrific reviews from almost every site I visit.

With DD1 I wasnt able to pump no more than 1.5 oz. Now with DD2, using the same pump I can get 4 oz in about 2 mins. Its great. I can even pump right after a feeding. I think there are many factors involved. HTH
