Pumping
V
Becomfortablyseatedandrelax.Useafootrest,whenpumpingorwhenfeedingyour
baby.Elevatingyourfeetputsyouintopropersittingpositiontoavoidstressonthelower
backandperineum.
Center your breastshield over your nipple.
Donottiltoroverfillbottleswhenpumping.
Set the vacuum regulator to minimum and start pumping.
Adjust the vacuum to your Maximum Comfort Vacuum™.
This is the highest vacuum you can use and still feel
comfortable (different for every mother). To find your
Maximum Comfort Vacuum increase vacuum until pump-
ing feels slightly uncomfortable (not painful), then decrease
slightly.
Research has shownthatyou willpumpmoreeffi-
ciently–meaninggetmoremilkinlesstime–when
pumpingatMaximumComfortVacuum™.
Once finished pumping disassemble the pump kit items.
Close the bottle and store it for later use.
Usebottlestandtopreventtipover.

Breastshield Fitting
VI
ChoosingtherightsizeofBreastshield
A correctly fitted breastshield avoids compression of any milk ducts during pumping to
ensure optimal breast emptying and maximum milk output.
Your breastshield is the right size if your answer to the following questions is «Yes»:
• Is your nipple moving freely in the tunnel?
• Is minimal or no areolar tissue being pulled into the tunnel of the breastshield?
• Do you see a gentle, rhythmical motion in the breast with each cycle of the pump?
• Do you feel the breast emptying all over?
• Is your nipple pain-free?
If your answer to any of the above questions is «No», try a larger (or smaller) breastshield.
Medela PersonalFit ™ Breastshield: Available in five sizes – because one size does not
fit all.
Cleaning and Hygiene
VII
Follow these cleaning instructions unless you are told otherwise by your healthcare pro-
fessional.
 Important • Use drinking water quality for any of the following described

• Clean parts immediately after use to avoid dry up of milk resi-
