What size breast shield do I need?
Choosing the right size breast shield is essential for comfortable and effective pumping. But how do you know what size you need?
Why is size important?
A breast shield that is too small or too large can cause discomfort and reduce milk production. A properly fitting size ensures comfort and efficient milk flow.
How do you determine the correct size?
- Measure the diameter of your nipple: Measure the width of your nipple (not the areola) and add 2-3 millimeters.
- Try different sizes: Our breast pumps come with multiple sizes of breast shields for optimal fit.
- Pay attention to comfort: If pumping is painful or the milk does not flow well, you may have the wrong size.
