I didn't get much swelling at ALL in the beginning. It actually took months for me to finally get good swelling.

1. Drink plenty of water over several hours before pumping
2. Use a heat pack! Makes a big difference
3. Try using a muscle rub cream, that also made a huge difference for me!! The muscle rub thread http://www.breastnexus.com/showthread.php?tid=15019&highlight=muscle+rub

Thanks so much for your suggestions! I've got the muscle rub on now so we'll see how this goes!
