lovenotbombs, like the name haha, okay when I use to pump regularly (I'm pretty much happy with my size so I don't pump regularly now) I would pump everyday for 1 to 3 sessions per day ranging from 45 min to 3 hours each session. It's hard to say exactly how much time it was each week because it varied as you see. As far as breaks... I started NB in about June or July of last year, I always get mixed up which month it was, I believe June though, and I didn't take a break at all, I was pumping EVERYDAY until about November. In November my hubby and myself went to the states for a visit and my son had to see a specialist there, and I didn't take the pump with me, it was a 1 1/2 week trip. I pumped as soon as I got back home. I'd say the next break wasn't until about February, I got really sick and took a few weeks break. There were days here and there after about November. But the weeks breaks didn't start until after Feb. Now that I'm the size I'm happy with, I just don't pump often lol, once a month, once a week, twice a week if I think about it. And that's just because I like pumping and like to maintain the shape it's given me. I'm thinking about starting to go once a day again for a few months to get another cup size, but eh, it's not on the top of my list right now. As far as BB with NB, I know Cheryl did that and had amazing results. You can shoot over to the breastnexus forum and find out how many ladies did that. I think BO with pumping is very good for booby growth, but do what you are comfortable with.
comingD's unfortunately some of the bras I wore in the beginning pics either do not fit at all anymore, or I can't find them. And to be honest, I don't see why people get bent out of shape when ladies post before and after or progress pics without wearing the same bra, it's not that big of a deal in my eyes, and heck at least they are posting pics at all. I've had people not believe my progress is real, that's fine, they can think that. I know it is. Heck I post pics WITHOUT a bra on, with just hands covering, my hands don't change sizes lol. So if that doesn't show the progress, I don't know what else does.
