7.1 Selecting the breast shield
A correctly fitted breast shield avoids
compression of any milk ducts during
pumping to ensure optimal breast emptying
and maximum milk output.
To verify whether the breast shield has a
correct fit:
1. Centre the nipple in the breast shield
tunnel.
2. Turn on the pump and check the
following points.
I Is the nipple moving freely in the tunnel?
I Is minimal or no areolar tissue being
pulled into the tunnel of the breast shield?
I Do you see a gentle, rhythmical motion in
the breast with each cycle of the pump?
I Do you feel the breast emptying all over?
I Is the nipple pain free?
If the answer to any of above questions is
"No", try a larger or smaller size of the
PersonalFit breast shield.
PersonalFit breast shield sizes available are:
S (21 mm), M (24 mm), L (27 mm),
XL (30 mm) or XXL (36 mm).*
