7. Operating the breast pump

7.1 Mimicking the baby´s rhythm (2-phase expression)

Babies use a “two-speed” sucking action. At first, they suck quickly, and then they

switch to a slower, deeper sucking rhythm once milk starts to flow. The quicker sucking

action stimulates the milk ejection reflex and triggers the milk flow; the slower sucking

draws the milk out for the feeding phase.

The pump mimics the baby´s natural sucking rhythm by using a “two-speed” pumping

action, the so called “2-Phase expression”.

The breast pump begins with a fast sucking action called the stimulation phase. When

you see milk flow or feel milk ejection, you can then press the “Let-down” button to

switch to the expression phase, which is slower than the previous one. If you do not

press the Let-down button, the expression phase will automatically start after the pump

has been running for one minute in the stimulation phase.
