Caution
• While some discomfort may be felt when fi rst 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 fi t.
2.2 Correctly fi tting breastshields
Properly fi tting breastshields will ensure comfort and effi cient 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 while pumping.
• 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.
