Try switching back to the smaller size and see if that makes a difference.</p> <p>For what it's worth, I never could find a size that seemed "right" for me either, but the smaller size seems to work better for me, so that's what I'm going with. Good luck. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/another-pumping-question-flange-fitoutput#post-2285758 Tue, 08 Sep 2015 13:55:05 +0000 abmamma 2285758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I'm full of newbie questions today (despite doing quite a bit of pumping with LO1)!</p> <p>I switched to a larger flange yesterday morning as I thought the smaller size (which I used throughout my pumping journey with DD) might be rubbing/causing cracked nipples. At first the bigger flange seemed great and didn't notice difference with output- just more comfort. But I have been pumping quite a bit less today and am wondering if it has to do with the flange? I can't figure out which is the better fit based on diagrams I've seen. I feel like I'm really in between sizes. Should I stay with the bigger size? Go back down?</p> <p>I'm also totally stressing about pumping today which I'm sure doesn't help.... </p>
