I field a million of the same questions about pumping. I’d like to help de mystify the process along with the why/how.
I work full time and I make time every 3 hours to pump for 20-30min and sometimes power pump for an hour 20/on, 10/off, 10/on, repeat. It mimics cluster feeding.
When I’m on I have drops and have seen a stream or two. When I’m off, they are off. With said if I don’t pump, I wouldn’t have any output.
When I’m with a partner they take the place of the pump and try to mimic the schedule as much as possible. Throwing in some pumps sessions as needed.
I use a Medela pump, top of the line and hospital grade.
I was asked for and posted a few shots post pump which I just did. I love my nipples post pump 🤩
Any questions or thoughts? I’m sure I’ll get LOTS of private responses.

It sounds as if your dedication and routine is working and just more time is needed to establish it as a lifestyle routine…. stay positive and I’m sure you’ll get what you desire.
Pumping is tedious but a necessary evil for keeping up production! Most people don’t realize how much work goes into milk production.
I agree @anrmi – I just finished a 60min power pump 🌸🌸
