Flange Fitting Consultation

If you don't need pump instruction or assistance with a plan for returning to work, this is the consult for you. The majority of mothers are using the wrong size pump flange and don't even know it.  The research and information that has come to light in the past 5 years has been astounding .... and confusing!

Many mothers don't feel discomfort when pumping, so they assume their flange size is correct.  For those who do experience discomfort, in most instances we can usually blame it on the flange.

Pumping with an incorrect size can cause:

  • pain while pumping

  • damage to the nipples/areola​

  • less milk to be removed which can lead to low supply

  • plugged ducts

  • mastitis

​​

What to expect:

  • measurement of nipples
  • pumping with various sizes determined by measurements
  • pumping with various flange shapes
  • assessment of best fit
