Note: Supporting your breast with your free hand and compressing slightly
while pumping can help your milk flow easier.

nipple irritation or injury.

ing your first letdown, try to stimulate your
first letdown reflex using these steps:
• Relaxing and thinking about your baby.
• Gently massaging your breasts, start-
ing nearest your ribs and working down
toward the nipple.
• Applying warm, moist compresses; con-
tinue until you can hand-express a few
drops of milk.

Using Your Breast Pump

• Place the breast flange to your breast
centered over the nipple.
• Push the flange slightly towards your
breast and allow the breast to com-
pletely fill the flange (this will ensure
a good seal).
• To pump, simply start with a fast,
short pumping motion to help
stimulate your first letdown (milk
release). As milk starts to flow,
transition into a slower, longer
pumping motion.
• You will notice that squeezing the
handle draws the milk; releasing the
handle allows the milk to collect in the
bottle.
• The pivoting handle allows you to adjust
the position at which you are pumping
to maximize your overall comfort.
