Hi Lara,

Thanks so much for the pearls! What's the longest you can go between pumping sessions without losing swelling?

Thank you,
Leila

This seems to differ between individuals, for me most of it stays only for few hours and its completely gone in about a day. I remember someone talking about swelling lingering for longer. I think this has to do with metabolic rate and water retention.

I think best break between sessions is 2-4 hours so some of the swelling will still be there but with enough break so it wont become painful. I'm so stupidly delicate that I have to do all kinds of countermeasures to be able to do it, like change the dome placement a bit every time I do another session. Taking about three hour break seems to be the best when doing full hour sessions. If you do shorter ones, then shorter breaks too. Like say you do 30 minutes at a time, then take one hour off and repeat.
