4. HOW TO USE YOUR LANSINOH
BREAST PUMP
If possible, wait to begin pumping until your breastmilk supply and breastfeeding
schedule are well established. This is normally at least 3-4 weeks after birth,
unless told otherwise by your doctor or breastfeeding advisor.
1 Wash your hands thoroughly.
2 Make sure you have sterilized and carefully assembled your pump
exactly as described in the sections "How to Clean and Sterilize Your
Lansinoh
Manual Breast Pump" and "How to Assemble Your Lansinoh
®
Manual Breast Pump."
3 Center the pump opening over your nipple and gently press it against
your breast ensuring that your nipple is centered in the tunnel of the
flange. Press the ComfortFit
breast making sure the seal is secure so that no air can escape. You can
create a good seal by using your other hand to support your breast from
underneath.
If your nipple is unable to be centered within the tunnel of the flange without
rubbing, you may need the larger size ComfortFit
4 As you gently push down on the pump handle you will feel the suction
on your breast. You do not need to depress the handle fully to create
suction, only as much as is comfortable.
5 You can create gentle suction pressure in preparation for expressing by
setting the handle in the first (top) notch of the stem. Confirm that your
nipple is moving and squeeze and release the handle until you find your
preferred pace.
Warning: Do not continue pumping for more than five minutes at a time if
no result is achieved. Try expressing at another time during the day.
Please remember: Should pumping become very painful or uncomfortable, you
should stop using the pump and consult your doctor or breastfeeding advisor.
