What to Expect From a Breast Pump Flange Fitting
At Mama & Milk, we use an evidenced based approach to flange fitting. We’ll start by measuring your nipple size to narrow down the flange sizes that are most likely to fit.
You’ll have the chance to try from three different plastic flange shapes, available in a variety of sizes, as well as silicone inserts. Once we find the right size and shape for you, we’ll guide you on where to purchase the flanges you need for your home pump.
You’ll receive hands-on guidance on how to use your pump, clean it safely, and store your breast milk. We’ll also discuss strategies to protect your milk supply and maximize milk output while pumping.

Flange Fit Matters.
Using your breast pump should not hurt! The #1 reason moms experience pain with pumping is because they are using the wrong flange size. Most women don’t fit the standard sizes that come with pumps.
When you're using the correct flange size, pumping will feel comfortable and allow you to remove milk more effectively. The right fit can also make pumping sessions more efficient and may help you to get more milk in less time.
Using the wrong size can impact your milk supply.
