How do I choose the correct size of Ameda Soft Flange Inserts?
Choosing the correct size is essential for comfort and effective pumping. We recommend starting with the flange size that feels most comfortable for you and allows for efficient milk expression without causing discomfort. A proper fit helps create a secure seal, which is important for minimizing leaks and maximizing milk output. If you need assistance in selecting the proper flange size, consider reaching out to a healthcare professional or lactation consultant.
Can I change my flange size as I continue pumping?
Yes! Flange size may change or fluctuate as your body changes. Ameda offers a range of sizes to help you find a comfortable fit as your needs evolve during breastfeeding and pumping. We have soft silicone flange inserts in sizes from 11mm to 21mm, as well as standard (firm), BPA- and DEHP-free plastic flanges up to 36mm. We encourage moms to consult with healthcare professionals to ensure correct fit, comfort, and effectiveness.
