Don't feel bad. I thought the same until I read up on the pump and release method. I just finished my first pump session with my NB and it was several minutes before I got good suction. My hands were getting tired. Once I got good suction, I'd stopped pumping and held the domes in place. Should be a lot easier once my airlock kit arrives.

Silly me, I thought the idea of having a breast pump meant having to pump it continuously like a bike pump. It looks like I was making things more difficult then they have to be. How often do you repeat keeping the pump on for 10-15 minutes? I tell ya, if the instructions for the pump were more detailed it would make it easier

I use my Kangzhu pump that way: I put one of the cups on my left breast, I connect the pump to the cup, then I pump until there is enough vacuum which takes 2-3 seconds, I seal the vacuum with the green airlock and then I make the same procedure on my right breast. That's it. After 10-15 minutes I release the vacuum, massage my breasts and then I pump again. Why are you constantly pumping??
