Also, there were a lot of times when I had to use some lanolin while pumping to help with the rubbing. I also ended up needing the smallest size shield. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/medela-pisa-breast-shield-sizing-question#post-2409663 Tue, 05 Jan 2016 07:51:47 +0000 regberadaisy 2409663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I have to make sure its position just right or it won't pump properly and/or hurt. There should be some images on their website for proper flange positioning? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/medela-pisa-breast-shield-sizing-question#post-2409659 Tue, 05 Jan 2016 07:43:46 +0000 peaches1038 2409659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started pumping 1x/day two weeks ago to help build up a little stash before returning to work (already have 135 oz, yay!). I already got the next size breast shield (27) because I was having so much breast pain that I thought I had thrush, even though neither LO or I had any other symptoms. The breast pain has gotten much better since switching, but not completely gone. My question is when you are getting set up to pump, do you have to be really precise about how you place the shield so there's no nipple rubbing? I have to adjust several times through a 10-15 min pump so that one part of my nipple isn't rubbing. Wondering if I need the next size or if that's normal. </p>
