Hi everyone, I've searched through the threads and NB forums too but still can't seem to find a solution.
I was really excited to use the NB system but even after a few months, (of very irregular use unfortunately due to circumstances) I still lose all swelling immediately when I remove the cups after pumping. They just deflate straight away.
Am I doing something wrong? I use a lot of lotion, drink a lot of water, even tried heating the domes gently as someone suggested but I get no swelling. I've tried a few different methods like 7:2 and pump and hold, pump and release (I could be doing this wrong, please feel free to re-explain to me what these are).
But I just get no swelling and it's disheartening, makes me not want to bother with pumping which is already difficult enough to find time alone to do it. Thanks in advance.
