Comfortable, Effective Pumping Starts With the Right Flange Fit

Personalized Breastshield Fitting Support — In Your Home or Hospital Room

Pumping your milk should never hurt. If it does, there’s a very good chance your flange size — or even the flange shape — isn’t right for your body.

As someone trained in the The Flange FITS™ Method of breastshield fitting, I provide personalized, hands-on support to help you find the most comfortable and effective pumping setup for your unique anatomy.

No more guessing. No more ordering multiple sizes online and hoping one works. No more “standard sizes” that leave you sore, swollen, or frustrated.

I come directly to you — at home or in the hospital — with a full fitting kit that includes flange sizes and shapes ranging from 9mm to 36mm so we can determine what truly works for you.

Why Flange Fit Matters

A poorly fitted flange can lead to:

  • Nipple pain or damage

  • Swelling or rubbing

  • Reduced milk output

  • Longer pumping sessions

  • Clogged ducts

  • Feeling discouraged or ready to quit pumping altogether

Many pumping parents are told that discomfort is “normal.” It isn’t.

With the correct flange fit, pumping can feel dramatically more comfortable and efficient.

What Is Included In A Fitting Session

During your personalized flange fitting appointment, we will:

  • Assess your current pumping experience

  • Evaluate comfort, nipple movement, and milk flow

  • Try multiple flange sizes and shapes

  • Determine the best fit for your body and pump

  • Troubleshoot pain, low output, or elastic tissue concerns

  • Discuss pumping techniques and comfort strategies

  • Help you feel confident using your pump

Every body is different. The right fit is not just about size — shape matters too.

Mobile Flange Fitting Services

I offer in-person appointments:

  • In your home

  • In the hospital after birth

  • During the early postpartum period or even while you are still pregnant

  • For exclusive pumpers or occasional pumpers

  • For anyone struggling with pain or poor output

Bringing the fitting experience to you means you can get support in a comfortable, real-life feeding environment with your own pump and routine.

Small Flanges Available In Canada

 

Many parents discover they need flange sizes much smaller than the standard sizes included with pumps — but these can be incredibly difficult to find in Canada.

I carry and sell a variety of smaller flange sizes and specialty options that are not easily available on the Canadian market.

Available sizes range from:

9mm – 36mm

Including multiple styles and compatible options for popular pumps.

Current stock includes: 

  • MayMom Pano Series 9mm thru 22mm
  • MayMom Saucer Serices 13mm thru 15mm
  • MayMom Crater Series 10mm thru 24mm
  • MayMom Comfy Series 15mm, 17mm, 19mm, 21mm & 22mm
  • Medela 21mm, 24mm, 27mm, 30mm, 36mm

Each set of flanges costs $20 including taxes.

Who This Service Is For

This service may help if:

  • Pumping hurts

  • Your nipples rub or swell inside the flange

  • You’re exclusively pumping

  • You’re preparing to return to work

  • Your milk output feels lower than expected

  • You’ve tried multiple flange sizes without success

  • You feel overwhelmed trying to figure it out on your own

Whether you’re a first-time parent or an experienced pumper, personalized fitting support can make a huge difference.

You Deserve Comfortable Pumping

You should not have to “just deal with” painful pumping.

The right flange fit can improve comfort, efficiency, confidence, and your overall feeding journey.

Let someone experienced help you find the fit your body actually needs.
