1 Assembly & Use
Caution
While some discomfort may be felt when first using a breastpump,
using a breastpump should not cause pain� If you are unsure about
breastshield sizing, please contact a healthcare professional or
breastfeeding specialist who can help you get a proper fit�
1.1 Correctly fitting breastshields
Properly fitting breastshields will ensure comfort and efficient milk
expression. To determine if you have the correct size, look at the
following diagram:
• The nipple should be centered in the tunnel of the shield.
• The nipple should move freely without rubbing when the pump
is turned on.
• Minimal or no part of your areola should be pulled into
the tunnel of the breastshield.
• You should see a gentle, rhythmic motion in the breast
with each cycle of the pump.
• After pumping, your breast should feel much less full
with no areas of hardness.
Medela offers a range of
breastshields from small to
XX-large which are available
at many local retailers or visit
