For growing a bit (by a bit I mean a cup) you need more or less 100 hours (that's what I have experienced at least) but the day has just 24 , we are human beings, we need to socialise therefore... so it cannot absorb you . You have to be multitasking sometimes (i.e doing homework, research for NBE, etc) while you are pumping [in my case I do NBE research, food research and sometimes research for my doctorate in law as well] because you need 1h everyday of your life at least (and 1h in a day means %4 of your day) . You also need to take into account your health conditions, age, your skin (in my case i suffer dermatitis so i can't use dumb topicals) etc etc etc. It seems complicated at first , but once you are into your routine and focused on your goals, everything will be fine. Make up a schedule , it's essential.
I'd suggest you using 7:2 method for some weeks, like 4-5 weeks and see what's going on. Swelling it's a good sign but I read on this forum swelling may vary from one person to another. Be patient, please!
Oh and yes, I'm doing the documentary because I think having information condensed on the forum is beneficial for all the users. Also, because there are lots of people who have helped me with my journey and I do have to be the same, not just like an obligation but because I want to help other people too.
Thank you for your advice, Sweetorange. I really appreciate it.
I'm afraid it has already been nearly 100 hours of pumping for me. I pump one hour a day. I've tried pumping longer, I once tried for 4 hours but got no swelling at all.
You're right, perseverance is very important. I would like to see a little something though!
I would actually like to do something productive while noogling (I'm impressed at your multitasking skills!) but my domes fall right off so I need stay still. I can watch tv or read at most (reading is bit tricky though)...
I'm going to try the 7:2 method as you suggest. It's going to be tiring but if you think it might help, I'll try it out for at least a month. Thank you again for sharing your tips and knowledge with us. <3
