1.Important Safeguards (cont.)
WARNING: To avoid health risk and reduce the risk of injury:
• Do not store wet or damp parts as mold may develop.
• Do not run pump with wet tubing. Doing so will harm the pump motor.
• While some discomfort may be felt when first using a breast pump, using a
breast pump should not cause pain.
• If you are experiencing discomfort at the base of the nipple due to
rubbing of your breast tissue with the breast flange tunnel, discontinue
use and contact your healthcare professional or breastfeedingspecialist.
• For assistance with correct breast flange sizing and comfort please
contact customer support at www.drbrownsbaby.com/contact/or
contact a lactation consultant/breastfeeding specialist.
• Contact your healthcare professional or breastfeeding specialist if you can
express only minimal or no milk or if expression is painful. See Section 8 for
more information.
• Do not try and express with vacuum that is too high and uncomfortable
(painful). The pain, along with potential breast and nipple trauma, may
decrease milk output.
• Make sure tubing is not kinked or pinched while pumping. • Do not holdthe
pump kit by the bottle. This can lead to blockage of the milk ducts and
engorgement.
• Do not thaw frozen breastmilk in a microwave or in a pan of boiling water. •
Do not microwave breastmilk. Microwaving can cause severe burns to
baby’s mouth from hot spots that develop in the milk during microwaving.

of milk from the breast. This mode helps prompt the
reflex that happens when nerves in your breasts are
stimulated (usually by your baby's sucking).
2)
Expression Mode- Used after the breast is stimulated
to release milk.

6. Operating the Pump
6-5. Placement of the Collection Assembly
Center the breast Flange on your breast sothat the nipple is aligned
with the tunnel portion. Make sure your breast completely fills the
Flange to ensure a seal and that a vacuum can form.
While you may feel some discomfort when first breast pumping, it
should not cause pain. Adjust the Cycle and Vacuum levels to lower
settings to achieve your comfort level and milk flow.
If you continue to have problems, please contact us at:
www.drbrownsbaby.com/contact/
or call 1-800-778-9001
For hands free pumping, consider using a pumping bra.

20
6-6. Storing a Collection Assembly
Often when double pumping, one side is finished before the other.
The completed side may be removed from the breast and placed in
the convenient half-moon bottle holders or large storage space in
the back of the pump housing. The expandable netting will secure
the bottle and assembly without risk of spillage.
You will need to adjust the vacuum level after removing one
collection unit from a breast to maintain performance and
comfort level of the remaining unit.
Helpful tip for one handed operation:
When using Narrow Bottles for collection, easily place the finished
assembly in the half-moon holders.
When using the optional Wide Bottles for collection, easily place the
finished assembly in the rear storage area.
