Do you know how old the Pump In Style is?  The older ones have flanges
that have the hole (into which the tube goes) straight back near the top
of the flange back... this allows a forceful letdown to shoot milk almost
directly at the opening of the tube.  The newer shields that Medela has
have the hole moved more towards the bottow, and have a piece of plastic
placed strategically in front of the hole to help prevent that from
happening.  Milk can still get into the tubes if the bottle tips, etc.,
but shouldn't get in just from milk spray.  Even with an older pump, she
can still purchase the newer flanges and may find that that ends the
problem.
