has anyone used a breast pump to induce labor

I was just wondering if anyone has used one and if it has worked and how long you did it for?
I have been in labor for 4 days and my contractions are close and strong but I'm not dilating and my doc said to try nipple stimulation but I forgot to ask what I am supposed to do.
So any help is appreciated.
Thank you

I just did it 15 mins on each boob with a 10 min break in between and I have been having some contractions but not very strong but they are consistent.

Ive read on the internet that a bp can work but wat ur supposed to do is take one nipple n make it erect. Then twist around on that one for 2 mins. Stop for a mineute then do the other side n so on!
