Using the Manual Breast Pump
Before you begin pumping, make sure that you have correctly washed, sanitized and assembled the
Manual Breast Pump. Consult the 'Preparing to Pump' section on page 8 for tips on stimulating let-
down and milk flow.Wash your hands thoroughly and make sure your breasts are clean. Relax in
a comfortable chair and lean slightly forward so that your milk flows easily down the pump funnel
into the milk container (you can use cushions to support your back).
Create a Reliable Vacuum: Press the pump against your
1
breast to form a complete seal, ensuring that your
nipple fits into the funnel. Check you have a reliable
vacuum by compressing and releasing the control
handle so you can feel suction.
Initiate Let-Down:To encourage let-down, lightly press
2
the handle in a way that feels comfortable and similar
to your baby's initial rapid suckling action.
CAUTION: LET-DOWN CAN OCCUR IMMEDIATELY, EVEN
AFTER JUST A FEW STROKES AND SHOULD NOT TAKE
LONGER THAN 5 MINUTES (REFER TO PREPARING TO
PUMP ON PAGE 8).
Milk Expression:To create a natural and effective breast
3
pumping rhythm that can be maintained for the rest of
your pumping session, compress the handle slowly and
more fully (to increase the intensity of the suction),
hold for 2-3 seconds and then slowly release.
Note:You do not need to compress the handle fully, only
until it feels comfortable.The further you compress the
handle, the more suction the pump will provide.
4 4 Storing your milk: Make sure that you have not over-
filled the milk container and carefully unscrew it from
the pump body. Add a sanitized screw ring and sealing
disc to safely store your breast milk in the refrigerator
or freezer.
