Does this work well for a very large breasted mother?

No. I am a 38 DD typically. So of course breast feeding enlarged them. This pump was horrible & I ended up paying for a different one. I now have medela & it works so much better. W this I got 1 oz from both sides. Medela- 7-10 oz both sides.

I am a 36 D to DD when nursing and it worked fine for a short time. However, it broke and the company would not do anything to rectify the situation. Your money is better spent on a better pump, even if it costs more money. You should consider investing in a Medela. Please read my review and don't waste your money!

It worked okay for me, depending on the time of day I am between a 38DD-38E. (So I guess it depends on what you consider large breasted)

yes it is powerful to be so small. It is used daily several times. It is a good a pump.

I bought It for my granddaughter. It broke shortly afterwards. Buy a better quality one or more money.

Yes as I am a very big breasted woman myself, this product does in fact work on a large breasted woman but it's got a very weak milk suction so if ur milk production is a large amount I would suggest another pump as in the lansinoah or a medela double breast pump because the medela actual a has parts u can purchase to fit ur breast size and then some. The lansinoah was the first pump I ever used and it worked excellent plus it gives u tutorials and such.... I hope my answer helped u.

I tried it on my 3 month old who is 13 lbs. it's very big and bulky. It does tighten enough so you could use it but there are other, more comfortable options for an infant. It is better for a bigger child.

The extra large would work, for the bust though i would suggest using an old bar that still fits, then fill that with padding till it fits the frame correctly that is what i did and it worked beautifully.

If you want dad to be able to feed too, i suggest medela calma. I bought and use both Philips Avent Natural and Medela Calma and i find that Medela Calma system is closer to mother's breast.

One should always see a Board Certified Lactation Consultant, an IBCLC before using a product like this. It has nothing to do with bra size and should ONLY be used while under the care of a an IBCLC who is seeing your baby regularly, assessing your baby's intake and your latch and doing regular weights on the baby. These can do more harm than good if they are not used properly. M.J. IBCLC

I am using one because of a Mastectomy and it has given me my full C. I would say yes it should work. I will warn you however that the breast forms are rather heavy and the nipple is VERY pronounced. In fact, I had to cut the nipple down because it made it difficult in wearing Tshirts. I tried a band aid but that did not work. I don't know if I would purchase this brand again because of the heaviness and nipples. Hope this helps.

I tried a few different ones. Nit the snoogle but I do like this one alot. Worked great for me during pregnancy and then after in a chair to breastfeed.

Yes that is the largest size one thing it's very important is to make sure you get the center of the shield on the center of your nipple. Otherwise it does cause some irritation. For about the first week my nipples were a little sensitive to feeding but we are now six months into breast-feeding yes I still use the shield and I've never problems at all also make sure you flip the nipple out see you get a good suction it pulls more the Ariola into the tip

Absolutely! Great for my Mother (89 yr old), 5' max, 120lbs. Works beautifully.

My baby is 3 months and just outgrew it but she is pretty large for her age, 25+ inches and like 15+ pounds. I know of other babies that used it for a lot longer. Even though I only used it for 3 months I feel it was definitely worth it especially if you are breastfeeding!!

Yes! But you can use it without a bra too. This can still works if you wear something like a tank top or something little tight, the idea is you need something to hold it against your breast.

Yes. Just check out YouTube. 3 m clear bra removal is all I searched and got multiple responses.

Hi Maulana, I'd say it depends more in the nipple size rather than the breast size. The shield is quite flexible and soft, but the hole for the nipple is fixed size. But I think it is big enough for most nipple size unless for extra big nipple. Hope this will answer your question.

I don't think its made specifically to accommodate nursing, but I know moms who have been able to. Personally I don't think I could haha!

I would get one to err on the side of caution. My lactation consultants were very helpful and offered me one of these. I don't know if you have an LC or how breastfeeding friendly your providers will be or how willing they'll be to work with you. Not knowing your situation, I'd say to get a shield just in case. It has been a lifesaver for me.

I am 5'4" and have an ergo baby carrier. This is a great question to ask. The carrier fits my husband who is 5'8" much better than it fits me. At my height, it sits very low on the hips, which I like because it helps equally distribute baby weight over the entire back. This is the reason I bought the carrier. It does a fantastic job of distributing weight across mom or dad's body. I also find it very safe as I am very clumsy and worry about falling with baby. I would def try it out before investing the $$$. For me, I regret this purchase. 1. My baby is very hot natured and gets too hot being next to me. 2. The newborn insert makes the carrier way too bulky for me. 3. This is designed for average or thin adults. This is not designed for large busted women or overweight women. There is not enough room for all of mom and a baby too. 4. My baby is small and not yet able to completely straddle me, so he does not sit comfortably. At 7 months, I am getting a frame backpack carrier for general toting around. I had one with his brother and he loved it. Plus it solves all of the above issues. I knew better but I wanted the closeness the Ergo provided. Good luck!

As a "B" cup with a larger chest size I have found the large works best for me. Small are for very petite chest sizes not just cup sizes. Also I have found using a lotion on my breasts when applying the cups works so much better.
