I’m new to pumping, I have the momcozy m6. I used it for the first time on Sunday night and it worked great, felt comfortable etc. I used it again yesterday and it felt fine while on but once I took it off and saw my nipples I knew it wasn’t good they were huge! My nipples hurt for a little bit but went back to normal and stopped hurting. But my breasts, especially my left, has been sore high up.
Any advice for a new pumper? Should I leave it for a few days? I’m EBF but was wanting to start a freezer stash for when I go away in a few weeks time…

Have you checked your nipple size? You may need to adjust what flange inserts you’re using. You may also need to play around with the mode / strength of the mode to ensure it’s comfortable. Also, have a look into nipple vasospams, it’s something I struggle with as an exclusive pumper (didn’t get it in the short time I fed directly) - can be very painful!

Might be flange size or you have it on too high of a strength. I wrecked my nipples when I started pumping because I whacked it up to full strength and wasn’t using the correct size. It also seems to miss some ducts so I do need to hand express on one side to fully empty or I’m in agony with stabbing pains.
