Getting Started
Mom, we know you have a lot to
think about, but can we suggest that
you get to know your breast pump
before you need to start using it?
It should make for a more relaxed
experience, and you'll soon be an
expert at this (as well as many other
new things).
Get to know your breast pump
You may be wondering how your
breast pump handset fits together.
Don't worry, it will soon become
second nature.
You can wash these parts:
A. Cup - rounded, soft silicone
part that fits into the horn to sit
comfortably against your breast.
Gently massaging to stimulate
your milk flow.
B. Horn - trumpet shaped part that
supports the cup while you use
the pump.
C. Body – duck-shaped part that you
hold and connects the horn and
cup to your bottle.
D. Duck-bill valve (purple) – small
one-way valve that lets breast
milk into your bottle, but doesn't
let it back through as you move
around.
E. Diaphragm – small, transparent
cup-shaped part that keeps the
"wet" side and the "dry" side of
the breast pump separate. This
makes it a closed pump system.
F. Diaphragm cap – seals to
the diaphragm.
G. Lid (purple) – allows you to
connect the air tube to the pump,
and close the pump handset.
Together, these parts form your
breast pump handset.
