First time pumping

Is first time pumping suppose to be painful ? Kind of taken aback and shock by the suction, even using the lowest mode. Is it normal to feel pain when pumping first few times? And youll get used to it ?

Yup, and also because it’s your first time and your boobs haven’t gotten used to it so it’s more sensitive. After your boobs got used to it, it shouldn’t hurt as long as your flange size is correct and no clogged ducts. You can also take sunflower lecithin to help thin out your milk, rub some breast milk/coconut oil (edible) before you pump to reduce the friction while pumping.
