Karleen asked why you use breast shields while pumping.  The shields
(otherwise called flanges)
are the pieces that go on the breast while you are pumping.  I'm not sure
how else you would get a
pump to function without placing something on the breast to create suction.

Hi Susan - This is just a matter of semantics.  You and Karleen have a
different use of the term "breast shields".  For us in Australia, "shields"
conjure up an image of nipple shields, which you will agree would be a
strange item ot use during pumping.  I think this is how Karleen was
thinking.  (Correct me if I'm wrong, Karleen.)  It seems you meant the
flanges or inserts.
