@hersheyhippo3 thanks. me too

good. i hope it gets better.☺

@hersheyhippo3 I think I am using the right size now.

time to heal and the pain will eventually go away if your size is right. i had alot of pain when i first started but it didnt last long. i left some info in the comments that may help you too. ☺

@hersheyhippo3 I do have one more question..do you know if I have to keep nursing for the pain to go away or will it still go away if the size of my pump cup was the problem. I used a smaller size last lime I pumped, but it still hurts, because when I nursed my daughter she popped the blister like thing. Or will it just take time to heal.?

you're very welcome. im always happy to help where i can. i am the only one in my family who breastfed so i had to learn things by myself. please dont hesitate to contact me if you need. ☺

@hersheyhippo3 thanks for the help. I will definitely try a different size cup. I think the ones I'm using are too big..based on the picture.

im surprised it didnt come with an information booklet. any who, you can visit medela.com for any replacement parts ect. theres also www.ilca.org, 1800tellyou, www.nursingmothers.org for more support from pros.

ok. i think thats the same one I have. yes there are definitely different size cups. let me go grab it and ill give you some info.

Medela pump in style advanced
@hersheyhippo3

just the size of the cups. what kind of pump do you have?

@hersheyhippo3 I can only adjust the speed on my pump....should I be able to adjust something else too.?
And, I always make sure it is comfortable..but sometimes it is painful on the slowest setting.

if theres a speed adjustment and its up to high for what your breasts can handle. turn the speed up til its uncomfortable then turn it down one.

yeah. for different size cups. i suppose it depends on what pump you're using. but i would definitely look it up. it helped me alot when i pumped.

@hersheyhippo3 There is a size chart.? And, how do you pump too fast.? I use an electric pump..

it sounds like you're trying to pump to fast on too high a setting with the wrong size cup. i would try different ones. and use the size chart too. ☺
