Breastfeedling supplies question
I need a smaller shield attachment for my pump...I now know why my nipples are killing me after I pump. The shield is too big and does not fit properly. I think I need a small...still trying to figure out what size shield I have to begin with. It would be very easy if all I needed was a medium but I think that is the size that came with the pump. I am borrowing my sister's pump. Anyway, I have looked at BRU and Target but all they have is medium and above. I think there is a breastfeeding supply store at Fair Oaks hospital..anywhere else? Anyone ever been there?

Re: Breastfeedling supplies question
Where do you live? The reason I ask is that the breastfeeding clinic at Alexandria hospital is cheap (I don't remember, maybe $10 or something like that?) and you can go and talk to a lactation consultant and get them to tell you what size shield you need. Unless you've already consulted one?
I'd check with the manufacturer - for instance, if you have a Medela pump, they have great costumer service - you could just call the manufacturer and ask where in your area you can get different sized shields.
This and INOVA FFX has them as well.
