Once again a personal question. As a disclaimer, I must say that I see families at home and with the baby present, so haven't as much experience with full time pumping for preemies. My daughter is getting a rash on her breasts after pumping, it fades by the time she is ready to pump again, but it is very uncomfortable. I checked some of my references, didn't find anything. Her nipples are fine, this seems related to the pump flange. She hasn't shown any other allergies to silicone or latex.
