- Flange sizes: Discover how to select the right flange for comfort and optimal milk removal.
- Modes and settings: Explore different pumping modes, suction levels, and speed settings to tailor the experience to your needs.

This session is part of our First Friday FAQs series, a monthly opportunity for parents to learn, connect, and share. Each session begins with 15 minutes of expert-led guidance on a timely lactation topic, followed by an open Q&A where parents can ask questions, exchange experiences, and receive support in a welcoming community.
By the end of class, you’ll understand how to customize your pump for comfort, effectiveness, and convenience, and you’ll gain strategies you can apply at home, at work, or in a lactation office setting.
