𝗠𝗢𝗠𝗦, 𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗙𝗟𝗔𝗡𝗚𝗘 𝗦𝗜𝗭𝗘 𝗠𝗔𝗧𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗦! Did you know using the wrong flange size can cause nipple pain, rubbing, and even affect how much milk you pump? And here's something a lot of moms don't know: 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗳𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝘀𝗶𝘇𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗡𝗢𝗧 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝗿𝗮 𝘀𝗶𝘇𝗲! Let's make measuring SIMPLE using your BabyBuddha EasyFit Flange Kit. 👇 𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗣 𝟭: 𝗚𝗲𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗻𝗶𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆. Gently stimulate your nipple so it stands up. Measure BEFORE pumping because pumping can temporarily change its size. 𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗣 𝟮: 𝗠𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗝𝗨𝗦𝗧 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗻𝗶𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗲. Use your nipple ruler to measure across the base of your nipple in millimeters (mm). Do NOT measure the areola! That's the darker skin surrounding your nipple. 𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗣 𝟯: 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗳𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝘀𝗶𝘇𝗲. Your BabyBuddha 3.0 EasyFit system includes 13mm, 15mm, 17mm, 19mm, and 21mm inserts that fit inside your 24mm flanges. Start with the size closest to your nipple measurement. You may need to try a size up or down to find your best fit! 𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗣 𝟰: 𝗧𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗳𝗶𝘁! When pumping, check for these signs: ✔️ Your nipple moves freely without rubbing the sides. ✔️ Only a little areola gets pulled into the tunnel. ✔️ Pumping feels comfortable, NOT painful. ✔️ Milk flows well and your breasts feel well-drained afterward. 𝗛𝗢𝗪 𝗗𝗢 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗞𝗡𝗢𝗪 𝗜𝗙 𝗜𝗧'𝗦 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗪𝗥𝗢𝗡𝗚 𝗦𝗜𝗭𝗘? ❌ 𝗧𝗼𝗼 𝘀𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗹? Your nipple rubs against the sides, feels pinched, or pumping hurts. ❌ **𝗧𝗼𝗼 𝗯𝗶𝗴?** Too much areola gets pulled into the tunnel, which can cause discomfort and affect milk removal. 𝗢𝗡𝗘 𝗟𝗔𝗦𝗧 𝗧𝗜𝗣!🤍 Measure BOTH nipples! They can be different sizes, which means you might need a different flange size for each breast. And remember, your flange size can change throughout your breastfeeding journey, so it's okay to measure again! 𝗣𝘂𝗺𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗡𝗢𝗧 𝗵𝘂𝗿𝘁. The right fit can make a big difference in your comfort and milk removal. SAVE this guide for your next pumping session! 📌 #babybuddha #flangesizing #breastpumping #pumpingmom #breastfeedingtips
