3. Pumping

Caution
• Always inspect breastshield,
connector, white membrane, yellow
valve, and tube prior to use for
cleanliness. If dirty, see Section 1.2.
• If you experience pain while pumping
seek advice from your healthcare
professional or breastfeeding
specialist. See Section 6 for more
information.
• Do not try and express with vacuum
that is too high and uncomfortable
(painful). The pain, along with
potential breast and nipple trauma,
may decrease milk output.
• Make sure tube is not kinked or
pinched while pumping.
• Contact your healthcare professional
or breastfeeding specialist if you can
express only minimal or no milk or if
expression is painful.
Info
• Research has shown that you will
pump more efficiently – get more
milk in less time – when pumping at
Maximum Comfort Vacuum during
the Expression Phase.
• You should reassess your Maximum
Comfort Vacuum throughout your
pumping experience because it can
change during the different stages of
lactation.
• Do not tilt or overfill containers when
pumping.
• Do not kink tubing.
