are you sure it's the size is the problem?

baby is still really young isn't he? maybe you need a bit more time to get a good flow going?

yeah its pump because i phoned the medela company and they said your nipples and 3 mm of the arola [cant spell it] should be inside the fitting when pumping and mines not [sorry to much info] grin

would you get an avent? i'm a 38gg and was bigger when b/fing and it worked as i said.

By rdk on Sun 11-May-08 00:43:57

I have 40H breasts and can use the medela electric no problem. hmm

By Lyra75 on Sun 11-May-08 22:06:22

Maybe those extra inches make the difference? grin

I'm 40L and didn't get on well with the Medela, did much better when I swapped to the ameda.
