First time pumper questions

ShadyKull · April 2013

My son is 4 weeks old. I tried pumping today for the first time and have some questions. When I stopped, my nipple was fairly enlarged/swollen. It actually still is a bit bigger than normal actually and I pumped a few hours ago. Is this normal, or should I go down a shield size?

I got 2 oz (only did one side since I am home feeding my son too), that is perfectly normal and fine, right?

Don't know about the shield size but 2 oz on one side is great for a 4 wk old.

Did the shield hurt? I ended up purchasing larger ones instead of the ones that came with the pump and am way more comfortable. The original ones were 24mm and I went to 27mm.

Yes 2oz is good for one side if you're nursing the other just keep
