Great question! I am eager to hear what experiences this group has to share. 
Pumping  can be overwhelming to some women. Ultimately, the pumping plan has to be something that is manageable, sometimes even at the cost of less efficiency.
Still, it would be good to know which method would be more productive, so we can better advise.

Let's say you are pumping to help increase your milk production, and your time is limited because you just had a baby.  (ha!)  Would pumping be more effective if you pumped 3 times in 24 hours for 20 minutes each time, or 10 times in 24 hours for 6 minutes each time?  Assume someone else will be washing bottles and pump parts and that pumping is in addition to breastfeeding.
