Using Your Breast Pump

Using The Controls
Turn on the pump by pressing the "ON" button (D).
The pump will turn on at the highest speed and lowest suction
setting to help stimulate your first letdown (milk release).
When milk starts to flow again, decrease speed (A) and increase
suction (D) to the highest comfortable setting. If uncomfortable, turn
suction down slightly.
When milk flow slows, increase speed (B) and maintain suction
setting. When milk begins to flow, decrease speed (A) halfway. If
desired, repeat this step for additional letdowns.
Turn off the pump. After breast milk has been expressed, decrease
suction (C) to the lowest setting. Release button, then press and hold the
"OFF" button (C) until pump turns off (approximately 1 to 2 seconds). If
necessary, slide a finger between the flange and your breast to break any
remaining suction, then remove the flange.
IMPORTANT: If you feel pain in your breast or nipple, turn the pump off (see
above) or slide a finger between the flange and your breast to immediately
break the suction. If you feel discomfort at every suction level, turn the pump off
and contact your healthcare provider for assistance.
Note: Pump will automatically shut off after 40 minutes. Do not overfill the
5-ounce collection bottle; when freezing your milk for storage, space is needed in
the bottle for the milk to expand.

Using Your Breast Pump
Carefully unscrew bottle G from flange.
Place the sealing disc H into the cap
ring I and screw onto the bottle securely.
Your breast milk is now ready for storage
(see page 14 for information on storing
breast milk).
Note: When using as a single pump on one
breast at a time, repeat steps 1 through 3
on your other breast.
Tip: If you are experiencing difficulty
expressing your first letdown, try to
stimulate your first letdown reflex using
these steps:
• Relaxing and thinking about your
baby.
• Gently massaging your breasts,
starting nearest your ribs and
working down toward the nipple.
• Applying warm, moist compress-
es; continue until you can hand-
express a few drops of milk.
