4. Preparing for Pumping (cont.)
CAUTION
l While some discomfort may be felt when fi rst using a breastpump, using a
breastpump should not cause pain.
l If you are unsure about breastshield sizing, please contact a healthcare
professional or breastfeeding specialist who can help you get a proper fi t
or call Medela at 1-800-435-8316 to fi nd a breastfeeding specialist in
your area.
4.2 Correctly fi tting breastshields
Properly fi tted breastshields will ensure comfort and effi cient milk expression.
To determine if you have the correct size, look at the following diagram:
l The nipple should be centered in the tunnel of the shield.
l The nipple should move freely without rubbing when the
breastpump is turned on.
l No part of your breast should be pulled into the
breastshield tunnel; only your nipple should
move freely inside the tunnel.
l You should see a gentle, rhythmic motion in
the breast with each cycle of the breastpump.
l After breastpumping, your breast should feel much
less full with no areas of hardness.
Medela offers different sizes which are available at many
