Do I need a flange fitting?
I will be real with you, it is very likely…
- If you are pumping with the flanges that came with your pump..
- If a lactation provider looked at your breast and said use this size..
- If the pump company had you measure and add 1-5 mm to your size…
- If you are using 24+mm flanges
- If you just grabbed a flange and went with it…
- If you don’t know what size your flanges are…
- Or if you are having any of the symptoms below…
It can be very frustrating and a little annoying how much misinformation there is out there when it comes to flange size. It’s okay though, you don’t have to DIY your pumping journey! I’ve got you covered!
