How to clean
• Wash your silicone breast
pump in clean soapy
water. Don't use water
that you've used for
cleaning other products.
• Rinse thoroughly with
clean water.
• Sterilise the silicone pump
using either cold water
sterilisation, microwave
sterilisation, boiling
water, or electric steam
sterilisation.
• For best results use
Tommee Tippee electric
or microwave sterilisers,
or the travel and
microwave steriliser bag
included in this pack.
• The included milk storage
pouch is a single use
pouch and is sterile ready
for use.
Guidance when using your silicone breast pump
• Unless you've been told
otherwise, the best time
to try your breast pump
for the first time is after
your baby's first feed of
the day.
• Make sure you're in a
comfortable position and
try to relax.
• Remember, you're not
trying to suck milk out. It
comes from just behind
your nipple.
• Using your breast pump
shouldn't hurt. If it does,
try a gentler pressure.
Then check your breasts.
If you have any red or
hot areas, stop using
the breast pump and
get in touch with your
breastfeeding advisor
as soon as possible.
• Every mum is different.
You may only produce a
little milk, or flow freely.
You may produce more
milk at different times
of the day (morning or
evening) or different
volumes from one breast
to another.
• Don't continue using the
pump once your milk has
stopped coming. Give
your breasts a break.
