Time for my weekly update. I’m actually a little late. I started on the 5th and meant to update on the 12th. I missed one day of pumping. I averaged only about 3 hours and 40 minutes a day, including the day I didn’t pump at all. As usual back pain, and the fact that I don’t pump during the day time, are the reasons I’m getting in so few hours on average. I missed a day of pumping, because the back pain makes me lose sleep, and there’s only so many days of sleep deprivation I can stand before I need a break.

Like I said before, I’ve been trying to pump at a much higher pressure for 1 hour per night to hopefully make up for the missed hours. All of a sudden, the cups will not hold suction when I switch to the hand pump to pump at a higher pressure. I have no idea if it’s the hand pump that's the issue or what. I see no visible holes on the tubing, and I’m almost completely sure that there’s no issue with the Noogleberry cups and domes. 

TLDR: I haven’t been meeting the minimum low pressure pumping hours because of back pain caused by lying on my back while pumping, and I can’t pump at a high pressure because there’s something wrong with my system and I’m not sure what the problem is.

I’ll be posting my average hours every week, and updating my measurements once a month.

Week 1 average pumping hours per night: 3 hours and 40 minutes
