It just takes a long time if it's too low. I can try going up in size. I already have a set that's a size bigger for one boob but I can look for the size bigger. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/painful-pumping#post-1139597 Wed, 09 Oct 2013 08:33:56 +0000 Adira 1139597@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Whenever I've had pain with pumping, it was due to either the suction was too high or I didn't have the correct flange size. Can you play with these settings to see if that helps? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/painful-pumping#post-1139554 Wed, 09 Oct 2013 08:15:40 +0000 Bluebonnet 1139554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with @Dandelion: try lowering the suction and see if that brings relief.</p> <p>Try using a different size of flanges - that can make a big difference too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/painful-pumping#post-1139509 Wed, 09 Oct 2013 07:51:33 +0000 Dandelion 1139509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is it an electric pump with settings on how hard it sucks? If so, maybe you should lower the setting a bit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/painful-pumping#post-1139430 Wed, 09 Oct 2013 06:46:27 +0000 pmerr 1139430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been basically exclusively pumping for about 1 month. In the last 3 days or so my nipples have started to be really sore while pumping and are more sensitive while I'm not. I use lanolin and I pump every 4 hours. I haven't tried icing them yet. Any ideas for why it's starting to hurt now or how I can help it? I dread pumping! </p>
