5. Useful Tips
Adjusting the vacuum (suction intensity)
Expressing milk should never be painful.
Set the vacuum intensity at the highest level which is comfortable for you.
Take care that the nipple is centred in the breast shell.
Check whether the size of the breast shell fits your nipple. (See the Ardo Pumpset” Operating Instructions).
In the event that the milk is not released, try a massage – this can be really effective.
When the Calypso is to be used at a height greater than 1000 meters above sea level (height difference), the choice of
vacuum level must be checked.
Regulate the vacuum by touching the arrow keys.
Intensify the vacuum, until you feel a very slight discomfort, and then reduce the intensity of the vacuum until pumping is
comfortable.
Adjusting the cycle (stimulation mode)
When babies start to breastfeed, they suckle with rapid sucking motions and low suction – this causes the milk to release
by stimulating the milk ejection reflex. This effect can be replicated by starting with a higher cycle level (e.g. 8 bars) and
selecting a weaker vacuum.
When using the stimulation mode, choose the levels of vacuum and cycle which suit you.
When the milk begins to release, reduce the cycles by touching the down arrow and strengthen the vacuum by touching
the up-arrow until you find the most comfortable level for you.
If the milk flow fails, begin again in stimulation mode in order to prompt the milk to release/flow once again.
Encouraging the milk ejection reflex
The milk ejection reflex may occur later when pumping than when breast feeding. The following measures may be helpful.:
Massage the breast before breast feeding.
Have a warm drink.
Relax and think about your baby.
Gaze at a picture of your baby.
Apply a warmed compress to the breast before expressing.
Warm the cone or funnel of the breast shell before applying.
Pumping efficiently
Massaging the breast while using the breastpump can boost milk production, and promote better flow.
Increasing the quantity of milk
Use a double Pumpset
For the first 10 minutes, or until no more milk is flowing, use a double pump i.e. express from both breasts at once.
Afterwards, switch to a single pump. Express from each breast for five minutes while massaging gently.
