I'm no pro at this, only been noogling for a month and a half, but I'll tell you what I personally think. I'm sure some other more experienced nooglers will give their advice too 
First, I didn't start seeing swelling afterwards until about a week into it I think. Everyone responds differently. The first thing I'll tell ya, is that if you drink a lot of water before & during pumping, you'll get much better swelling. The first time I did this, it was like night and day. Make sure you're drinking at least 1/2 your body weight in ounces of water a day anyway. More if you take herbs. Second thing I'll say, that's good you're starting off gradually and not just jumping into hour long sessions! Once you gradually increase to hour long sessions, you'll see more swelling. And doing those twice a day is better than once a day.
I always avoid letting my boobs change color too much. Def no deep red or purple! But even at really light suction, they start getting kinda pink. The suction I prefer is kinda hard to explain, not red, not light pink, but somewhere in the middle. I only suction until I feel a slight pull. Not to where it's uncomfortable. Some people say you can get more aggressive with the suction once you've been pumping for several months, but I don't personally know.
I personally think you should be holding for longer than 2-4 minutes. The methods I've seen that are typically used are either pump and hold, or 7:2, 10:3 and 15:5. (the first number being the hold time:second number being the rest between pumps time). I also got some great advice on the NB forum and they said to constantly change up your methods. So maybe one session do 7:2, the next session do 15:5, an so on. Or change them up every other pumping day.
