Hi sweetorange,

While it's fine to take a a break or two per week, I don't recommend taking a break for TOO long or all your swelling will go down the drain... This is from personal experience. Also, are you drinking water before and after pumping? Water helps with swelling apparently and the more water you drink during pumping the better Another thing, Do you massage? If so, do you massage before or after pumping? It is recommending to massage before pumping instead of after since massing after can make the swelling go down a bit.

To answer your questions:

1) No, pumping for three months and then taking a break for long periods of time won't get you the results you might expect... Again, anything you have so far is probably just swelling and you need more time in order for the swelling to become permanent growth.

2) I never taped my nipples and they've never gotten bigger during the months I pumped. Everyone is different though...

3)That's not too much, that a perfect amount of time to see results if you're consistent with your program.

4) Haha, I used to have that issue too! My breast used to only swell at the bottom, just give it time and eventually you will swell on top. Again, drink some water while pumping and try positioning the cups further towards the upper part of your chest?

5) I like to watch movies, listen to music, work on essays, or sleep as I'm pumping. LOL!

Good luck, and if you have any more questions, let me know.

Sorry for replying late, I've been on vacation without WiFi lol. First of all thank you very much for such a good info and related to your questions :

1- I do drink water before and during pumping, but never after ,should I do it too?

2- I apply heat , then I massage and during the pumping too . Sometimes I do massage after pumping if I feel soreness but depends on the day. Why is so important?!


The point is, I'd like to pump these next months too but a) I don't have enough time , I mean, I work 8hrs everyday Saturday inclusive so I just have sunday off and I don't know if once a week would be a good program....

Also, I still thinking in doing 6 months straight but I don't know how much time would be the perfect deal, I've found out more than 2h everyday is impossible to stand for myself....

PS: did you just pumped or used another NBE method?

Thanks again!!
