When using electrical devices, basic safety precautions should always be followed,
including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS PRODUCT.
WARNING: To avoid health risk and reduce the risk of injury:
• Breastpump kits are a personal care item intended for use by a single user only and
should not be shared between users.
• Inspect the breastpump kit components prior to each use.
o Do not use the components if they are damaged.
o Do not use the components if dirt, mold or other contamination is visible.
• Inspect all appropriate components before each use.
• Clean and sanitize all parts that come in contact with your breast and breastmilk prior
to first use. Sterile kits are ready to use and do not require washing prior to first use.
• Never use while pregnant, as pumping can induce labor.
• Wash all parts that come in contact with your breast and breastmilk after every use.
• Do NOT continue pumping for more than 2 consecutive pumping sessions if no
results are achieved.
• Do not thaw frozen breastmilk in a microwave or in a pan of boiling water.
• If tubing becomes moldy, discontinue use and replace tubing.
• If breastmilk backup occurs, you must clean tubing before your next pumping
session.
• If problems or pain occur, consult your lactation consultant or physician.
CAUTION: Can lead to minor injury:
• Pump only with the breastpump in an upright position.
• Do NOT shorten tubing between breastshield and pump.
• Make sure the voltage of the device is compatible with the power source.
• Plug the power cord into the breastpump first and then into the wall socket.
• Do NOT use abrasive cleaners/detergents when cleaning breastpump or
breastpump parts.
• Never put breastpump motor in water or a sterilizer, as you can cause permanent
damage to the breastpump.
• Do not attempt to remove the breastshield from your breast while pumping. Turn the
breastpump off and break the seal between your breast and breastshield with your
finger, then remove breastshield from your breast.
• If pumping is uncomfortable or causing pain, turn the unit off, break the seal
between the breast and the breastshield with your finger and remove the
breastshield from your breast.
• Do not store wet or damp parts as mold may develop.
• Do not use the breastpump kit with a non-compatible breastpump.

Correctly fitting breastshields
Properly fitting breastshields will ensure comfort and efficient milk expression.
To determine if you have the correct size, look at the following diagram:
• The nipple should be centered in the tunnel of the shield.
• The nipple should move freely without rubbing when the pump is turned on.
• Minimal or no part of your areola should be pulled into the
tunnel of the breastshield.
• You should see a gentle, rhythmic motion in the breast with
each cycle of the pump.
• After pumping, your breast should feel less full with no areas
of hardness.

8. Breastshield Sizing 9. Storing, Preparing & Feeding Breastmilk
• While some discomfort may be felt when first using a breastpump, using a breastpump
should not cause pain.
• If you are experiencing discomfort at the base of the nipple due to rubbing of your breast
tissue with the breastshield tunnel, use of a lubricant such as Tender Care™Lanolin may
be beneficial.
• For assistance with correct breastshield sizing and comfort please visit www.
medelabreastshields.com or see a lactation consultant / breastfeeding specialist.

Caution
9B. Preparing breastmilk
• 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. (Microwaving can also
change the composition of breastmilk.)
• Thaw breastmilk overnight in the refrigerator. Thawed breastmilk is safe
in the refrigerator for 24hours. Do not refreeze thawed breastmilk.
• Quickly thaw breastmilk by holding the bottle under warm running water.
• Place the sealed bottle in a bowl of warm water for 20minutes to bring it
to body temperature.
• If you are adding expressed breastmilk to a container of already frozen
breastmilk, make sure to add a lesser amount than the already frozen
amount.
9C. Feeding breastmilk
It is recommended that breastfeeding is well established prior to bottle
feeding your baby.
• Always inspect the bottle, nipple and other components immediately
before and after each use. If nipple appears cracked or torn, discontinue
use immediately.
• To prevent possible choking hazard, test strength of nipple by pulling on
bulb portion of the nipple.
• Do not attempt to enlarge the nipple hole.
• Infants must not be bottle fed without adult supervision.
• Nipple should not be used as a pacifier.

11. Supplemental Information
Supplemental Information
Following are some common breastfeeding related conditions. If you
experience any of these symptoms, contact a healthcare professional or
lactation professional.
Symptom Potential Causes
Engorgement Breasts are hard and uncomfortable,
possibly with reddened areas.
Milk not draining properly
from breast. Milk can
drain back into the tissue
causing areas to swell and
become tender.
Blocked/
Plugged Ducts Area of breast will look reddened and may be tender to touch.
Milk not being drained
from a specific duct. The
area becomes “clogged”
up and milk is then
prevented from flowing.
Mastitis It often follows engorgement but can
occur suddenly. The initial symptoms
are similar to flu – fatigue, headache
and muscle aches, fever and localized
breast tenderness. It can be in one
or even both breasts and needs
immediate treatment.
A bacterial infection in
the breast tissue which
is often accompanied by
cracked nipples.
A Healthcare Professional or Lactation Professional can give you guidance in
breastfeeding your baby and using a breastpump. Their guidance is valuable in terms
of the lifetime of health benefits for both you and your baby. A listing of lactation
professionals are available at www.medelalocator.com or calling 1-800-TELL-YOU
