Flange size?
Yes, I am being a PW today - I am due soon and am trying to get supplies selected and ordered, and really appreicate any tips or advice.
I know that pumps come with a standard flange size, but that others are available. I am about a 42 H or so bra size - can I use that to figure out flange size now, or will I just have to try them out once I get a pump? I am guessing I will need the larget option available (36 mm), but I am not sure how much flange size depends on breast size and how much on nipple size.
Is this something the LC at the hospital should be able to help me with?
Thanks,
Melissa

Re: Flange size?
The LC at the hospital told me that the flange size I was using was too small. I think she was going by the size of my nipple.
