    you need to be pumping every 2-3 hours AROUND the clock for at least the first three months. Longer is desirable.

    you need to be pumping for a good 15-20 min each session.

    drink a lot of water

    eat a lot of protein.

    exactly this. you really need to eat alot,too, cuz pumping burns calories.
