Longer Production

How long to increase milk production after beginning to pump?

My lactation consultant said to finish each feeding (every 2-3 hours) by pumping any extra out, in order to increase my milk supply and start to build a frozen surplus. How long does it take for my production to increase? Two days, a week, what’s your experience?

It took me 2-3 days of doing this consistently. If I miss pumping once though I notice that my supply goes down a bit again so just beware of this.
