repeatedly pressing pq or by
holding down the pq button.
Cycles is stimulation mode - Brief
massaging before expressing will
encourage milk ow and stimulate

sucking and low suction the baby
does when feeding.
Vaccuum is expressing mode - The
pump automatically switches to
expression mode after two minutes.
If ‘let down’ has occurred and your
milk is owing, reduce the cycles
and increase the vacuum until you
nd the most comfortable level for
you. If ‘let down’ does not occur go
to ‘Repeat Stimulation’ stage.
