2.2 Correctly fi tting breastshields
Properly fi tting breastshields will ensure comfort and effi cient milk expression. To
determine if you have the correct size, look at the following diagram:
• The nipple should be centered in the tunnel of the shield.
• The nipple should move freely without rubbing when the
pump is turned on.
• Minimal or no part of your areola should be pulled into the tunnel of the
breastshield.
• You should see a gentle, rhythmic motion in the breast with each cycle
of the pump.
• After pumping, your breast should
feel much less full with no areas of
hardness.
Medela offers smaller and larger
sizes which are available at many

• While some discomfort may be felt when fi rst using a breastpump, using a breastpump should not
cause pain.
• If you are experiencing discomfort at the base of the nipple due to rubbing of your breast tissue with the
breastshield tunnel, use of a lubricant such as Tender Care
TM
Lanolin may be benefi cial.
