The best tips I've read and found to be effective..
1) Drink LOTS OF WATER!!! The goal should be half of your weight in oz. So...I'm 140lbs. Half of that is 70...so I try to drink 70oz of water a day. It sounds hard at first, but I bought a cute water bottle (I like steel water bottles, keeps my water cold
) and now I've gotten into the habit of it. I drink minimal soda and other drinks. Sometimes I have the urge for a nice cold soda or some iced tea or whatever, but if you drink water with your meals, it gets pretty easy. (edit to add...not that iced tea is bad, but I LOAD mine with sugar, lol, making it not as good!)
2) LOTS OF LUBE. Seriously...the more lube, the better suction and the more comfortable my session is.
3) PUMP REGULARLY. You can't expect results if you just pump for random intervals at random times. I aim for 1hr in the morning and 1hr at night. I also find that I still have a BIT of swelling once my approximate 12hr mark hits (from when I've last pumped) so then when I go to pump for the next session, it's like a little boost...swelling on top of swelling. I feel like when I regularly pump about 12 hrs apart, my boobs never have a chance to fully stop swelling, and I think that's what really gave me good results in the beginning. Now...that being said...I need to get back into the swing of pumping regularly!! Which leads me to #4...
4) Be on the noogle forums!!!! Seriously, when I stopped looking at the forums and posting, I found myself not noogling as much. We all know this is the BEST NBE community around with SO many great people...let this be a support system for you! If you are feeling tired, lazy, just done with noogling, and then you come and see the support and results of your fellow noogle sisters, you'll be inspired to noogle. Trust me.
GOOD LUCK!!!!
