Tamanho do funil da bomba de leite: calculadora

Why is flange size important?
The right size ensures **comfort and efficient milk transfer**. A poor fit can cause pain, blocked ducts, or reduced output.
Should I measure before or after pumping?
After pumping is more accurate since nipples often **expand during sessions**. If measuring at rest, add a few mm.
What if my nipple size falls between flange sizes?
Use the **closest fit** and consider **inserts** for half sizes. Comfort is more important than exact numbers.
Can I use the same size across all pump brands?
Not always. Brands design flanges differently. You may need different sizes depending on the pump or shield style.
How do I know my flange is too small?
If you feel **pinching, rubbing, blanching, or pain**, or see little milk flow despite suction, the size may be too small.
How do I know my flange is too big?
If too much **areola is pulled in**, swelling occurs quickly, or suction feels weak, the flange may be too large.
What if I still have pain after adjusting size?
Try adjusting **suction strength**, use a **pump-safe lubricant**, and consult a **lactation consultant** for personalized help.
