When you want to stop expressing
•
When your milk is no longer freely
flowing, press and hold the power
button on your power unit to turn off
the pump.
•
Disconnect the air tube from the
body lid and gently unscrew your
bottle from the pump.
•
You can store your breast milk in this
bottle, by adding a clean sterilized
lid or nipple and hood (see Page 8
for storage advice). Or decant it into
another clean, sterilized bottle or
pouch to feed it to your baby.
•
When you've finished using the
pump, disassemble all the parts and
clean and sterilize as outlined in the
cleaning section on Page 3. Don't
clean or sterilize the air tube.
•
Plug your power unit into a USB
charging point (rated 2A or lower)
to recharge it ready for next time.
•
If you want to pause during pumping
to change position, or move down
to a lower setting that's absolutely
fine. It's okay to remove the pump
from your breast at any time. You can
always come back to it later.
•
You can use the built-in timer to
monitor how long you're expressing
for. The power unit will automatically
shut off after 30 minutes of
expressing.

If using this breast pump is more painful
than when you breast feed, stop using it
immediately.
The soft silicone cup should feel comfortable
against your breast. If it doesn't, you
may need a different size. Contact us at
tommeetippee.com for help.
When pumping your nipple should sit
comfortably in the center of the silicone
cup and will be extended down the tube
by gentle suction. The pump creates a seal
around your areola and nipple. You do not
need to cover the whole of your areola or
breast with horn. Do not force your breast or
nipple into the horn.
Don't tilt the bottle while expressing. Keep
it upright to keep your milk flowing into the
bottle.
You don't need strong suction to express
milk from just behind your nipple. Use the
mode and power setting that feels most
comfortable for you. This may be different at
different times of day or at different stages
of your breastfeeding experience.
The illuminated LEDs and quiet pump
unit allow you to use the pump at night
without disturbing others when you want
to keep the lights low.
Attach the purple carry loop to a
belt loop or clip to help you carry the
portable power pack around and free
up one hand while expressing or moving
around.
