Advice and FAQs
Get comfortable with your
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.
•
You're not trying to suck milk out.
It comes from just behind your
nipple.
•
Using your breast pump shouldn't
hurt. Check your breasts. If you
have any red or hot areas, stop
Health and Safety
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.
•
The Made for Me™ range includes
nipple cream to help keep your
nipples supple.
FAQs
Help – there's no or very little
suction. What can I do?
It's most likely that there's some air
getting in somewhere, which means
the pump won't work properly.
•
Make sure that the horn forms
a comfortable seal around your
breast. Adjust your position if you
need to.
•
Check that the diaphragm cup
is sitting on the top of the pump
body. Make sure it's been pushed
down all the way around the top
of the circumference to make a
good seal.
•
Check that the connector rod is
sitting properly in the diaphragm
cup. The rod should be pushed
through so that the big part sits
under, and the small part sits
above the base of the diaphragm.
•
Check that there are no tears on
the diaphragm cup.
•
Check the valve is clean and
opens easily. Give it a gentle
squeeze if it's stuck.
Why do I have to use a Tommee
Tippee bottle?

manual breast pump is designed to
be a perfect fit for Tommee Tippee
bottles and pouches (excludes

Glass bottles). You may get leaks
