• To get the baby to deep latch the nipple when nursing, a comfortable position is easy and is very effective to remove the milk from the breast. Tickling the baby’s lips with your nipple to encourage the baby to open its mouth more wide.
• A breast pump flange and shield that is the correct size will keep it strong and make it last longer. If your nipple is rubbing against the sides then you would need to use a large flange size. If your niplle isn’t fitting properly or the flange is not cupping them, then a smaller size will be needed.
