I stop at the hour mark and give them a few minutes off, apply more lotions and pump again for another hour. That seems to give me personally the best swelling. I never got any with the 7:2 model. Play with different intervals and total times and see what works best for you.
Sorry if this is a silly question but how do you pump for an hour or two? Do you just pump until you feel a slight pull and then leave them,and repump a little every now and then without releasing the suction? Do your breasts not go red or purple or feel sore? Sorry I'm quite new to the NB methods but 7:2 isn't doing much for me either and I would like to try and understand your method.x
No silly questions here - we are all here to learn from each other

My method is I heat up a heating pad and put the domes on them while I put some creams and massage a bit. Once the domes are warm I put the domes on and pump until there is a slight pull. Nothing uncomfortable and definitely no purple or redness! Then I leave them on as I work on the computer. I re-pump as necessary if they start to loose suction. It's normally just a squeeze or 2 every so often. Sometimes as I near the end of the 2nd hour it starts to get sore which I dislike. This normally happens if I skip the rest at the 1 hour mark.
