I'm sure someone on here has tried a combined method of pump and hold and pump and release, I remember reading that somewhere, but she only did the pump and hold for a short a time I think, maybe half an hour or so. I've read so much on here, I am not even sure anymore, but I believe she used the pump and release as some sort of warm up for better circulation.
I am poor, as well, I wonder if acupuncture needles are similar to deep micro needling? I have a derma roller, but I haven't used it yet since (after purchasing it) I read that it can actually damage tissue and cause premature aging.
I just read your other post. It's great that you had so much success when it comes to swelling with your new method! I think maybe I will try that, too. Just not as long as I'm still using that stupid ball as a nipple stopper, but maybe I could pump and release without the ball and then pump and hold with it.
I haven't been home much these past few days. My friend's cat has gone missing and we were out looking for him Saturday and Sunday and yesterday my mom and stepdad took me out for lunch (first time at a buffet since Corona, I ate way too much).
You spend a lot of time pumping. Do you have that much time or do you make time for it?
