7.2 Operating the breast pump
1. Before using the breast pump, wash your hands and breasts thor-
oughly.
2. Sit with your upper body lent forwards slightly. You can support
your back better by using a pillow.
3. Then place the breast shield with silicone cushion gently on the
breast. Make sure that the nipple is completely enclosed and there
are no air pockets. To ensure proper function, the breast shield
must be drawn firmly onto the breast. Use the manual pump as
shown in the image.
4. You can vary the pump intensity by selecting between the MIN/
MAX markings that can be seen.
It is recommended that you start in the MIN position.
7.3 Storing the breast milk
Expressed milk can be stored in the fridge or freezer for a certain period of time.
• When storing breast milk, ensure that the breast pump and the bottles are disinfected before use. Only
store breast milk in disinfected containers.
• If you wish to store breast milk, you should place it in the fridge or freezer immediately after expressing.
Do not leave breast milk out at room temperature.
• If storing breast milk in the freezer, it is recommended that you mark the bottle with the date of expressing.
