One size does NOT fit all. Flange Size is key when pumping. Improper size can affect comfort, milk output, and long-term milk supply. Incorrect sizing can cause you to experience blocked milk ducts, pain, nipple damage and trauma.

Signs your flange is too small: Rubbing of your nipple on the sides of flange tunnel; painful, pinching, and squeezing of your nipple.

Signs your flange is too large: Your areola is being pulled into the flange tunnel with your nipple; painful, pinching, and squeezing of your nipple.

Just Right: Your nipple is in the center being pulled freely; you should have no nipple pain or discoloration; little to no areola is being pulled into the flange tunnel.

If you are experiencing pain with pumping, feel like you are not making enough milk with pumping, have blocked ducts, or you just feel like something is not right, it is important to reach out to a board-certified lactation consultant. We offer flange fitting and pumping consultations.

Dads should have Skin to Skin time with their babi

Dads should have Skin to Skin time with their babies too! There are so many benefits:

Doing skin to skin with your baby can help create that unbreakable bond, it can help you gain more confidence in your dad skills. In fact, a recent study by Doctor Niles Bergman implied that skin to skin care in dads can help rewire the dad’s brain by raising the hormones dopamine and oxytocin levels. This is similar to what happens to a mother when she is breastfeeding. “These hormonal changes create a positive association with close interaction with their babies in fathers' brains. Therefore, skin-to-skin could help fathers kickstart their parenting instincts.”

Skin to skin will also help you to regulate baby’s body temperature and baby’s heartbeat, it can help to give baby’s immune system a boost; and it is a wonderful way to help mom!

And, not to mention.....who doesn’t love baby snuggles?! Amiright? #babysnuggles #dadsmattertoo #breastfeedingatlanta #lactationconsultantsofatlanta
