∙ To∙make∙the∙pump∙completely∙stable,∙insert∙the∙bottle∙into∙the∙bottle∙stand.

∙ When∙fully∙assembled,∙this∙is∙what∙your∙pump∙should∙look∙like.
*These∙parts∙are∙designed∙to∙fit∙snugly.∙For∙easier∙assembly,∙just∙dampen∙the∙
rim∙of∙the∙silicone∙diaphragm∙with∙water
**This∙breast∙pump∙has∙two∙separate∙phase's,∙Let∙Down∙Phase∙and∙Expression∙
Phase.∙You∙can∙easily∙switch∙between∙the∙two∙phases∙by∙adjusting∙the∙position∙
of the handle on the stem.
Tips About Pumping
Familiarise∙yourself∙with∙the∙pump∙and∙parts∙prior∙to∙use.
The∙most∙important∙part∙of∙successful∙pumping∙is∙the∙let-down∙reflex.∙This∙
is∙when∙your∙breastmilk∙begins∙to∙flow∙freely.∙The∙following∙can∙help∙this∙
natural∙reflex∙occur:∙A∙warmed∙Lansinoh
applied∙to∙the∙breast∙and∙light,∙circular∙movements∙of∙the∙finger∙tips∙working∙
from∙the∙outside∙of∙the∙breast∙towards∙the∙nipple∙prior∙to∙and/or∙during∙a∙
pumping session.
Try∙to∙choose∙a∙time∙to∙pump∙when∙you∙are∙not∙rushed∙and∙will∙not∙be∙
interrupted.∙Trying∙to∙relax∙while∙you∙are∙thinking∙of∙your∙baby∙or∙looking∙at∙a∙
photo∙of∙your∙baby∙can∙also∙be∙helpful∙when∙pumping∙your∙breastmilk.
Overall∙a∙pumping∙session∙can∙last∙about∙20-30∙minutes∙but∙it∙depends∙on∙
your∙body.∙Remember,∙successful∙pumping∙is∙a∙learned∙art.∙Early∙practice∙
sessions may be shorter or longer than stated here and may result in a small
amount of breastmilk collected but that does not mean that your body is not
making∙enough∙milk∙or∙that∙you∙are∙doing∙anything∙wrong.∙Milk∙is∙produced∙on∙
a supply and demand basis and pumping your breasts regularly in addition to

nursing your baby stimulates and maintains your breastmilk supply.
If∙breastfeeding∙problems∙occur,∙consult∙with∙your∙health∙professional.
You∙may∙pump∙one∙breast∙while∙nursing∙the∙baby∙on∙the∙other.∙This∙allows∙you∙
to∙maximise∙pumping∙effectiveness∙using∙the∙let∙down∙reflex∙stimulated∙by∙
your∙baby's∙suckling.
Make∙sure∙the∙tunnel∙of∙the∙breast∙cushion∙is∙tilted∙slightly∙downward∙to∙allow∙
your∙breastmilk∙to∙flow∙naturally∙toward∙the∙bottle.
Precautions when feeding expressed breastmilk:
1.∙∙ DO∙NOT∙MICROWAVE∙BREASTMILK!∙Microwaving∙alters∙the∙composition∙
of the milk and may also create "hot spots" in the milk that could burn the
infant.
2.∙∙ Always∙test∙the∙temperature∙of∙any∙liquid∙before∙feeding∙your∙baby.
3. Do not let a child take a bottle to bed or self feed for long periods.
4.∙∙ To∙prevent∙possible∙choking∙hazard,∙test∙strength∙of∙the∙teat∙by∙pulling∙on∙
the bulb portion. Discontinue use if any tear or crack appears.
How to Use Your Lansinoh
Manual Breast Pump
If∙possible,∙wait∙until∙your∙breastmilk∙supply∙and∙breastfeeding∙schedule∙are∙
well∙established.∙This∙is∙normally∙at∙least∙3-4∙weeks∙after∙birth,∙unless∙advised∙
otherwise∙by∙your∙health∙professional.
1.∙∙ Wash∙your∙hands∙thoroughly∙and∙make∙sure∙your∙breasts∙are∙clean.
2.∙∙ Make∙sure∙you∙have∙sterilised∙and∙carefully∙assembled∙your∙pump∙exactly∙
as∙described∙in∙the∙sections∙"How∙to∙Clean∙and∙Sterilise∙Your∙Lansinoh
Manual∙Breast∙Pump"∙and∙"How∙to∙Assemble∙Your∙Lansinoh
Breast Pump."
3. Centre the pump opening over your nipple and gently press it against your breast
ensuring that your nipple is centred in the tunnel of the breast cushion. Press the
ComfortFit™∙breast∙cushion∙of∙the∙pump∙firmly∙against∙your∙breast;∙making∙sure∙
the∙seal∙is∙secure∙so∙that∙no∙air∙can∙escape.∙You∙can∙create∙a∙good∙seal∙by∙using∙
your other hand to support your breast from underneath.
∙ If∙your∙nipple∙is∙unable∙to∙be∙centred∙within∙the∙tunnel∙of∙the∙breast∙cushion∙
without∙rubbing,∙you∙may∙need∙the∙larger∙size∙ComfortFit™∙breast∙cushion.
4.∙∙ As∙you∙gently∙push∙down∙on∙the∙pump∙handle∙you∙will∙feel∙the∙suction∙on∙your∙
breast.∙You∙do∙not∙need∙to∙depress∙the∙handle∙fully∙to∙create∙a∙vacuum;∙only∙as∙
much as is comfortable.
5.∙∙ You∙can∙create∙gentle∙suction∙pressure∙in∙preparation∙for∙expressing∙by∙setting∙
the∙handle∙in∙the∙first∙(top)∙notch∙of∙the∙stem.∙Confirm∙that∙your∙nipple∙is∙moving∙
and∙squeeze∙and∙release∙the∙handle∙until∙you∙find∙your∙preferred∙pace.
6.∙∙ To∙start∙with∙the∙Let∙Down∙Phase,∙set∙the∙stem∙in∙the∙top∙(first)∙notch∙of∙the∙
handle∙and∙squeeze∙the∙handle.∙Your∙breastmilk∙will∙soon∙start∙flowing∙even∙
though you may not use all the suction the pump can generate.
7.∙∙ Once∙breastmilk∙is∙flowing∙(1∙–∙2∙minutes)∙change∙to∙the∙Expression∙Phase.∙To∙
switch∙to∙Expression∙Phase,∙gently∙press∙the∙"PUSH"∙part∙at∙the∙tip∙of∙the∙handle∙
to∙set∙the∙handle∙to∙the∙second∙(bottom)∙notch∙of∙the∙stem.∙Continue∙to∙squeeze∙
and∙release∙the∙handle∙to∙find∙the∙appropriate∙suction∙pressure.
If∙the∙suction∙pressure∙feels∙weak∙when∙expressing∙your∙breastmilk,∙squeeze∙the∙
handle∙all∙the∙way.∙The∙suction∙pressure∙changes∙based∙on∙how∙hard∙you∙squeeze∙
the∙handle.∙Expressing∙in∙comfort∙is∙more∙important∙than∙setting∙a∙strong∙suction∙
pressure.∙Please∙express∙milk∙at∙a∙suction∙pressure∙that∙feels∙appropriate∙for∙you.
*To∙return∙to∙the∙Let∙Down∙Phase∙from∙the∙Expression∙Phase,∙(1)∙Pull∙the∙tip∙of∙the∙
stem∙towards∙you,∙(2)∙gently∙squeeze∙the∙handle,∙and∙set∙it∙in∙the∙first∙(top)∙notch.
Warning: Do not continue pumping for more than five minutes at a time if no
result is achieved. Try expressing at another time during the day.
Please remember:∙Should∙pumping∙become∙very∙painful∙or∙uncomfortable,∙you∙
should∙stop∙using∙the∙pump∙and∙consult∙with∙your∙health∙professional.
