Congratulations on your purchase of the 2-Phase Manual Breast Pump LOVI! Protect Breast Pump provides
primary protection of breastfeeding. Imitates the natural 2-phase baby suckling process. Perfect for everyday use
or occasionally, in the case of breastfeeding problems (such as mastitis or damaged nipples). Enables painless,
comfortable milk expression - even with one finger! It also provides support for active and working mums who use
alternative forms of feeding. Tested in cooperation with Polish hospitals*.
Protect Breast Pump is equipped with two pumping settings imitating 2-phase suckling rhythm:
Stimulation setting and Expression setting.
Stimulation setting – imitates fast suckling moves that stimulate milk production and let down.
Expression setting – reflects slower and deeper effective suckling. When milk starts to flow, the baby must put more
effort into suckling. Milk slowly becomes more dense and filling, that is why the suckling rhythm and the pace slow down.
Range of rhythm and power of Protect Breast Pump suction has been developed to reflect the natural suckling
process and how the rhythm of sucking changes during breastfeeding.
Using both cycles, you will express more milk in less time.
Breast milk is the healthiest and most valuable food for newborns and infants. It is recommended as a sole food given to
your child in the first 6 months of life. After six months, it should be combined with solid food.
NOTE! Do not use a breast pump in circumstances when a hungry baby fails to empty the breast itself, i.e. if there is any
possibility that your milk ducts are blocked.
When to use a breast pump?
If possible, wait until lactation stabilizes, which usually occurs within 2-4 weeks after birth. Exceptions to this rule:
•
If your breasts produce too much milk, they become swollen and hard (engorged). Expressing a small amount
of milk before or during a feed can give you relief and help your baby to grasp the nipple.
•
If you have inverted nipples (which may occur because of long intervals between feeds.)
•
If you have a concave, flat or damaged nipples (using a breast pump can improve nipple shape).
•
If you feel overflow between breast feeds and do not want to wake the baby.
•
The baby is sick and does not want to suckle.
•
If your breasts produce too little milk, using the pump between feeds will help increase milk production.
•
When you are working or away from home and want to continue breastfeeding, you should regularly express
milk using a breast pump to sustain the natural process of lactation.
How often should you express milk?
If you temporarily cannot breastfeed it is recommended that you express milk using breast pump at least 8 times
a day. This will keep milk production at the appropriate level. In the beginning you may experience difficulty
expressing, but after a few days you will be pumping more.
Once the lactation is stabilized, the amount of milk, expressed during one pumping session, is smaller (30-60 ml)
that is why collecting one portion of milk may require several sessions.
