What happens if I see a dip in supply?
The Switch Method:
Start a pumping session in your new size flanges. Midway through your session, switch to your old size flanges. This will adequately drain your breasts and train them to get used to the new size. Continue this process for approximately 24-48 hours until the transition to the new size is complete. Typically after sleeping through the night and on your first-morning pump, you will find your supply is back to normal or better, only using the new size.
If you continue having a dip in supply you likely will need more assistance with sizing and determining why this is occurring. I recommend getting immediate access to Pumping Pretty System.
What should I know before purchasing a new flange size?
The perfect and best size is the one you respond to; the one that you are comfortable using, that allows you to empty and typically pump for 30 minutes or less. If you purchased the Nipple Queen Ruler™ you are likely experiencing difficulties pumping. Perhaps your nipples are bleeding, cracked, sore, blistering or you don’t feel empty after pumping for 30 minutes or more. These are all good reasons to size yourself. But if you find you are still having issues 48 hours or longer after sizing down, you will likely benefit by using the Pumping Pretty System, to which you will have immediate access.
What are the signs that my flange is too big?
Farting and gulping sounds at first pumping can indicate your flange is too big.
Leaking from the bottom of the flange can indicate the flange is too big.
For a perfect fit, there should be approximately 2 mm between your nipple and the sides of the flange. Of course everyone’s fit will be different and if you find that you are more comfortable in a larger size, it is completely OK to use larger flanges.
