Did you know? If you are feeling pain or discomfort while pumping, the size of your pump fl**ge may be wrong. Fit matters! An incorrect fit in your fl**ge or breast shield can also lower your milk supply. Your WIC local agency can help you figure out which size is right for you to help you pump pain-free and successfully! WIC.Mo.Gov

Pumping breast milk provides food for your little one when you are apart. Keeping the parts of your pump clean is critical because germs can grow quickly in breast milk or breast milk residue that remains on pump parts. Keeping your pump clean can help prevent contamination and protect your baby from infection. Find out more at https://www.cdc.gov/hygiene/pdf/breastpumpkit-clean-508.pdf.
