7.3 Expressing your breast milk

CAUTION

In case of pain or insufficient milk expression:

• Do not hold the pump set by the bottle. This can lead to compression and blockage of the

milk ducts and engorgement.

• Do not try to express with vacuum that is too high and uncomfortable (painful). The pain,

along with potential breast and nipple trauma, may decrease milk output.

• Contact your healthcare professional or breastfeeding specialist if you can express only

minimal or no milk or if expression is painful.

NOTICE

Make sure that the tubing is not kinked or pinched while pumping.

1. Place the breast shield on the breast so that the nipple is properly centred in the tunnel.

2. Press the On/Pause/Off button to start pumping.

ÆThe stimulation phase begins and the status light is flashing.

3. Adjust the vacuum with the Increase vacuum and Decrease vacuum buttons to

find a comfortable level.

4. As soon as your milk begins to flow, press the Let-down button .

ÆThe expression phase begins and the status light is on steadily.

ÆIf the Let-down button is not pressed within one minute, the breast pump will

automatically go to expression phase.

5. Adjust the vacuum with the Increase vacuum and Decrease vacuum buttons to

find your maximum comfort vacuum (see information below).

i Information

• Maximum comfort vacuum is the highest vacuum setting where pumping still feels comfort-

able. This is different for every mother.

• Stimulation should be at a comfortable vacuum level, striving for a maximum level is not

necessary here.

• Reassess your maximum comfort vacuum throughout your pumping experience. It can

change throughout each stage of lactation.

6. To pause pumping refer to section 7.4 and to switch the pump off refer to section 7.5.

ÆThe breast pump stops automatically after 30 minutes if there is no user interaction with

the pump.
