•
During pressing a vacuum should occur. A vacuum is necessary for the breast pump to function properly.
•
Begin pumping process in breast stimulation mode: press the handle with short, gently squeezes. There is no
need to press the handle to the limit.
•
When the milk starts to flow, press the handle with short, gently squeezes few times more and begin deep
pumping: press the handle to the end and release after 2-3 seconds. You will notice that milk starts to flow
regularly. Slower and deeper pumping imitates infants suckling process.
•
For faster milk flow lean a little forward (in this position milk will often flow from the breast by itself).
Remember, that the bottle needs to stay in vertical position and the position you sit in needs to be comfortable
for you.
•
Initially try to express milk from each breast for a few minutes only. Do not assume that you will immediately
fill the bottle. In time the quantity of expressed milk will increase.
•
Express milk from one breast until the flow is reduced, than place the breast pump on the other breast to
continue.
•
Remember that about 10 min. is needed for expressing 60/120 ml of milk. There can be huge differences in the
amount of expressed milk during this period.
•
After expressing, detach the pump body, disassemble and wash in warm water with delicate detergent, then
rinse. Dry all components with a use of cloth or drying rack.
Depending on your health status and lactation, it is possible that stages of free flow of breast milk will be repeated
several times during one pumping cycle. You may change suction strength between stimulation setting and
expression setting by moving the handle position on valve stem. (Check "PUMPING INSTRUCTION").
Remember, that effective pumping is a skill that must be learned. Your milk supply responds to your baby's needs;
regular milk expressing stimulates and sustains lactation.
If you feel discomfort or pain in the breast whilst expressing, reduce the suction strength by turning the adjusting
valve. You can also try using the breast pump with / without the silicone cushion. If you still experience pain or
discomfort, call your doctor or lactation consultant.
Sterilization Prior to First Use:
Before you use your breast pump for the first time, disassemble and boil all parts (which may come into contact
with breast or milk) in water for 5 minutes.
•
Be sure to use enough water to keep all parts afloat while boiling.
•
Remove all parts from the water immediately after boiling.
•
Completely air- or towel-dry before reassembly and next use. It is recommended to keep all drained parts in
tight container or plastic food-bag.
Moisture may affect the operation of your Manual Breast Pump. Please ensure that all parts are completely dry
before use.
Cleaning Instructions:
•
All parts of the collection set and manual pump diaphragm set need to be hand washed in hot water with
delicate detergent.
•
Do NOT use solvents, abrasives or tools with sharp edges as it may damage Manual Breast Pump elements.
•
Rinse with hot, clean water.
•
Suitable for disinfection in electric sterilizers. WARNING! The absence of fluid in the sterilization unit, can cause
