4.1 Functioning of the manual breast pump

The stimulation phase (1):
To trigger the let-down reflex, turn the vacuum control to the very left. Press
the pump handle dynamically downwards several times. This imitates the baby's natu-
ral sucking behaviour. Keep the pump handle pressed for 3-4 seconds, so
that the milk starts to flow into the bottle.
The expressing phase (2):
When the milk is flowing, turn the vacuum control to the right. You can express now
by pressing the pump handle downwards and keeping the handle pressed until the
vacuum has been released.
If the milk does not start to flow right away, relax and try again – even at a later point
in time.
If expressing causes pain, do not use the pump anymore! Please contact your doctor
or your midwife/lactation consultant. Make sure not to express too much milk into the
bottle. Keep the pump in an upright position.
