Flange - it’s a great word! Does yours fit well? A poorly fitting pump can make for a frustrating experience

・・・

Question: What is one of the first things you should access if pumping output is not going well?
Answer: FLANGE FIT!
Think of the flange like a shoe.
It shouldn't be too tight (crunched toes!).
It shouldn't be too loose (blisters, OUCH!).
It should be snug, holding the foot well and supporting it to do its job (get us from point A to point B).
Flange fit is similar. Not too big, not too small, but snuggly, like a shoe.
A poor flange fit can impact:

🔹 Comfort

🔹 Pumping output

🔹 Milk supply (low removal = low supply)

🔹 Pumping efficiency (ideally, it takes 10-15 min to remove the milk you need in a session)

🔹 Recurrent clogs (inefficient removal can = clogs)
If you need a flange fitting, reach out to a professional! It can be a GAME CHANGER!!
