Pumping question

Anyone else get sore when pumping?

When I was home and just pumping once per day, level 3 was comfortable. However, now that I'm back at work and pumping multiple times per day, I'm getting sore at that same level. Anyone else experience this? If I reduce it to level 2 will I still get the same effectiveness? What else can I do?

    It shouldn't hurt to pump. I've been EP for over 6 weeks now and the only time it hurt was when my pump flanges were too small. After i got the next size up I was good and also on my Medela PIS I literally barely turn it on, too much suction can decrease the amount of milk you get. Not increase! So try turning it down until you feel comfortable!

    Lanolin applied before pumping makes it comfortable for me.

    It only hurts when it first starts, after a minute or two I'm fine. They are sore because I EP. But not enough to bother me. Lanolin does help.

    I have been EP for 10 weeks.  It did not start hurting until about 3 weeks in.  I have 3 different sizes of flanges and none of them help.  I think it just hurts.  Sorry :(

    Have y'all tried the flexible flanges? My best friend just brought me hers since she's weaning her LO at 10 months. I haven't tried them yet but would imagine they'll help pumping be more comfortable.
