Medela Breast Insert
Breastshield insert for use on the 24mm breastshields (one piece only). This insert helps reduce the size of the circumference of the 24mm breastshield for a better fit. Women with smaller nipples can enhance the comfort and pumping efficiency. (not compatible to larger size breastshields, just the 24mm standard one)
Incorrect fit
Using a too small or too large breastshield may lead to impaired milk removal because milk ducts could get blocked or milk ejection inhibited. Over time, this can result in reduced milk output. Friction around the nipple and/or areola can cause discomfort and trauma which may cause a mother to only pump infrequently. Again, her milk production is jeopardized. Tissue breakdown due to nipple trauma carries the risk of infection and mastitis.
The mother needs a different size if the shield is...
too small because the nipple is not moving freely in the tunnel.
too large because too much areola is pulled into the tunnel of the breastshield.
too large because the breastshield does not make a good seal.
