cynn04, doing most of anything is exhausting for me at this point already!! and not even 3rd trimester yet. my turn to have an Xmas party at friend's place this week, on Xmas eve. will probably park myself at one corner and stuff my face silly the whole evening. I probably won't even care if the kids eat anything or not. just want to enjoy this Xmas. next year's Xmas will be pretty chaotic!
happycsk, flanges are the 2 funnel-shaped things that come into contact with your breasts while pumping.
the two Spectra sets I ordered came with
2 sets of flanges (25mm and 28mm). these are the most common sizes and majority of Asian mums will fit. 30mm is too big lah! I doubt the nipple will expand that much unless you are super well-endowed and already have large nipples to begin with! btw, how come the seller not giving you the 2 sets FOC? must pay?
the adapters are for pumping into different brand bottles. if pumping into Spectra bottles, don't need to get adapter. Avent bottles are very wide, so if you want to pump direct into the Avent bottle and say you are using size 25mm flange, then you will need -
25mm flange - Spectra/Avent Wide Adapter 1 pair. hope this answers your question.
