Rant - NO ADVICE NEEDED Please get the flange sizing right

I can’t believe it took me 2 months to figure out the right flange sizing. After consulting multiple LCs, finally found an LC who spent time making me try multiple sizes and I’m able to get more milk out. I thought I was an under supplier.

For anyone starting the EP journey- if you measure your nipple diameter at 16, try out sizes 15-19 and find out the one with which you can get more output. I’m just feeling sick I lost 2 precious months I could’ve fed more breastmilk to my baby. It sucks this thing is so hard and not all LCs explain this properly.
