Why is choosing the right size of breast pump funnels important?
The correct size helps give mothers a feeling of comfort and no pain while expressing milk, as well as completely emptying the breast of milk while avoiding inflammation or swelling of the nipple.
What is the measurement method?
There are several ways to measure, including using a ruler, which is the quickest and easiest method and is available to all mothers
*Use the unit of measurement in millimeters
How do I know the correct funnel size?
Measure the entire base of the nipple without the areola using a ruler, then add 3-5 millimeters to your size.
Example: The nipple size is 15 mm, add 3-5 mm, and the appropriate funnel size becomes 17 or 20 mm.
directions:
- Please measure your breasts as sizes may differ
- The measurement is done before using the milk extraction device
- Breast size has nothing to do with the size of the cones, as the size depends on the size of the nipple
- Avoid measuring during pregnancy, as the size often changes after the breast is filled with milk
- Your size may vary after a while
Signs that indicate that the funnel is large or small:
- Feeling pain and discomfort while using the milk extraction device
- Nipple swelling
- A large part of the aura enters the funnel
- Not emptying the breast
- Nipple friction with cones
- The nipple turns white
