<<The problem is that some nipples tend to swell a little after pumping for
about 5 minutes and the size that they start off as is not usually the size
that they end up with! I have had to change the pump horns several times with
some patients. The hospital have absorbed the cost until now but will soon
start charging $7 a pair.The actual pump kit is not charged for. Some women
have two different size horns and after trying several sizes the cost is going
to add up! No insurance is going to pay for items not used.>>
My suggestion is that if there is ANY question, you start with the Extra
large flange -- a 30 mm -- rather than trying the 24, then the 27, then the 30.
It won't hurt to have one a bit too big rather than one that is too small.
The only time you'd really have to change is if the 30 is too small and you
need the 36, which would be unusual, most likely. Then you don't waste her
money....
