Pain from pumping

I started pumping this week to build up my freezer supply and my nipples are so sore. My areoles are also bruises and sore. I think this is from the wrong size flange, but not sure if I need to go bigger or smaller. Anyone have any advice?

    Hi there! It shouldn't hurt and your nipples shouldn't be bruised. I'm sorry you had a hard time. I used this link when I started pumping to insure I had the correct size:

    Also are you using any nipple cream? That helped me tremendously with both pumping and bf. GL!
