Pumping should not hurt. For maximum comfort and pumping effi ciency, Medela offers fi ve
breastshield sizes.
Visit MedelaBreastshields.com to view the full guide to help you determine your optimal size based on
your nipple diameter.
2. Test your breastshield size
1. Start with the 24 mm that came with your pump, or the size determined by measuring.
2. Center nipple and gently hold breastshield against your breast.
3. Adjust for Maximum Comfort Vacuum™, to achieve optimum suction level.
4. Refer to images while pumping in expression.
3. Should you try a new size?
• Does your nipple rub sides of tunnel, to the point of causing discomfort?
• Do you see excessive areola being pulled into tunnel?
• Do you see any redness?
• Is your nipple or areola turning white?
• Do you feel unexpressed milk after pumping?
If you answered “YES” to any of these questions, consider trying a new size by following the
measuring instructions above.
If you are still unsure if you selected the correct size, see a lactation consultant, breastfeeding
specialist, or visit MedelaBreastshields.com for assistance in choosing the right size breastshield.
