I am 5'9", 150 lbs and 34B. (I've also breastfed 3 babies so I'm not the "B" I used to be.) Could this work for a small cup size?

Good for you for breastfeeding 3!! (I am a Lactation Consultant) Yes, I think it would work but it has been quite a while since i tried it on.

Well our baby girl was not a preemie but we did try it when she was 1 month old to help her between bottle n breast transitions when she needed to be fed breast milk from bottle. I would not recommend it for a preemie our any small baby. It was to big for our 8 lb baby girl nearly choking her because of the length of the nipple. Being it wasn't cheap and I do like the concept we kept it to try again later and she is just now able to comfortably use it at 6 months and over 14 lbs...

I have the small dress form and it easily adjusted to 38 inches in the chest. The form has adjustment wheels to allow it to expand the chest in the front, sides and back. It expands the entire chest area so if you have a small bandwidth but larger cup size, you might need to put a bra on the form and stuff it to get the sizing right, as some others have suggested.

Hi... former breastfeeder here... wouldn't the suction devices just need to evert the nipples just long enough for baby to get a good latch? I would think the repeated suction over the course of time nursing of the baby would do far more than any gadget toward any kind of permanent eversion of inverted nipples. I started out with normal nubs before nursing my children and it took years for my nipples to go from half inch long down to large nubs.

Since these are breast forms only, and don't come with any sort of bra attachment, you just choose whatever size cup you want. I bought all 4 sizes they sell, and there was not much difference in size between their A and B cups. They are very nice.

Yes, It can and works very well. I Exclusively pumped for my preemie and this as well as the hands free pumping bra were lifesavers.

I am not able to address your size question but I would not recommend this bra for her cup size. It does not provide enough support.

Think of the sizing as being more based on your nipple size than on your breast size. The sizes are in millimeters (mm) just like they are for the medela pump funnels. I am a 36 B/C but have small nipples so I used the extra small size for breast shield & small size for pump funnel. You might try a medium for starters & see if that works for you?

I would not think so. I used this carrier and I have a fairly large chest, especially when I was breastfeeding. The carrier has straps that are adjustable to make it comfortable for you and the baby no matter your size, breasts or otherwise. I tried a couple carriers and the ergo was the best one that I found. I even carried my baby in it when he was 3 months on an uphill hike in the mountains for multiple miles. And I was not even remotely in shape. So it was very comfortable for me and the baby and worked very well. I would say this is the carrier you'd need with a larger chest because it really is designed to be ergonomic and it's way easier on the back.

You should get the B cup. Because you are under 30 and never had a vaginal birth. I am 30 years old and have had both my children caesarean section. I went for the A cup because on their website it says 30 and over recommended that size. My other reason is because I am an extremely heavy bleeder. Get the B cup. It will work fine. Good luck

yes, but make sure this is your size because the nipple cup does not come up

In all honesty, I used to be a 36DD and this type of sports bra was never good for me. Now that I've lost weight and am a lot smaller in size these fit very nicely. I say this because the straps are very narrow and when you are larger chested these tend to dig into your shoulders. Your wife might feel too much movement in a top like this. I would suggest perhaps an Adidas or Nike type that has wider straps. Depends on the specific kind but I used to be able to fit into a large or xlarge, depending on brands.

I am the same size but I don't think it is a bra size thing. It depends on how big or small your nipples are. I used the 20mm. When I was at the hospital they gave me different sizes to try. Sorry I don't know if that is really helpful.

I don't know whether it would be for a small woman. All I know for sure is that the straps hurt, it didn't fit me right, and wearing it for very long at a time would have made me weep. I am not a small woman, but the brace only loops around the front of your shoulders so your size shouldn't make a difference. I think the idea for this brace is a good one, but it needs to be redesigned with softer straps and adjustments that would make it fit comfortably.

My daughter didnt use it while breast feeding, but I don't think the shape would be conducive for that purpose. It's fine for bottle feeding, as you don't have to hold them as close to the body.

I personally only wear mine on the non-nursing side when my daughter is feeding but it really isn't very bulky so I think you could wear it in your bra. Sometimes I forget to take it out so I bend over and milk has gone all over the place.... just to warn you! Haha.

It surrounds a little more than the nipple. You can push it closer to you to adjust to a comfortable fit for you. The suction is really good so, yes I'm sure it will work for smaller nipples.
