@MadhaviUP

I am able to pump 160-170ml in 20 mts. This us overnight when I don't pump for 6 hrs continuously. If I pump every 3 hrs its 75ml in 20 mts,so purely based on our milk supply. I also have a medela harmony which is manual. It pumps fast no doubt but pumping manually is very painful is what I felt. So I have kept it as backup.
