Flange fit can impact comfort and efficiency of milk removal. Most people who pump are not wearing the correct size!
When to get a flange sizing: prenatally (after 36 weeks) or postnatally (10-14 days postpartum with re-sizing at 6 weeks postpartum if needed).
What to expect:
Measurement of your nipples to find the best size flange for you
Follow-up via text or email to make sure the sizing is right when you’re actually pumping
Recommendations for flange types
Re-sizing at 10-14 days postpartum, then again at 6 weeks postpartum if needed
<< No matter if you book a flange fitting prenatally or postnatally, you will still get re-measurements at 10-14 days and 6 weeks postpartum. >>
**Note: at this time, initial flange fittings are only available in clinic. Virtual flange fittings coming soon!**
