How many weeks pp? How long since last feed? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-time-pumping#post-661890 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 17:20:32 +0000 autumnlove 661890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It might be too tight. I had to buy the large and XL flanges for my pump because my nipples were uncomfortable during pump sessions. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-time-pumping#post-661862 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 16:55:04 +0000 Smurfette 661862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I finally got my pump in the mail from insurance. Yay!! I pumped 2 ozs from one side, since I had just fed R. It was about 20 mins. Is that good? </p> <p>I looked on the Medela website and I see the chart for the breast shields. I am confused as to how to know what size I need. The 24 is good but then at the same time my nipple looked pinched after I stopped pumping, so does that mean it is too tight? </p>
