Breastshield Fitting
Choosing the right size of Breastshield
A correctly fitted breastshield avoids compression of any milk ducts during pumping
to ensure optimal breast emptying and maximum milk output.
Your breastshield is the right size if your answer to the following questions is «Yes»:
• Is your nipple moving freely in the tunnel?
• Is minimal or no areolar tissue being pulled into the tunnel of the breastshield?
• Do you see a gentle, rhythmical motion in the breast with each cycle of the pump?
• Do you feel the breast emptying all over?
• Is your nipple pain-free?
If your answer to any of the above questions is «No», try a larger (or smaller) breastshield.
Medela PersonalFit ™ Breastshield: Available in five sizes – because one size does not
fit all.
