Caution
10B. Preparing breast milk
• Do not thaw frozen breast milk in a microwave or in a pan of boiling water.
• Do not microwave breast milk. 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 breast milk.)
• Thaw breast milk overnight in the refrigerator. Thawed breast milk is safe
in the refrigerator for 24hours. Do not refreeze thawed breast milk.
• Quickly thaw breast milk 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 breast milk to a container of already frozen
breast milk, make sure to add a lesser amount than the already frozen
amount.
10C. Feeding breast milk
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.
10A. Storing breast milk
Correctly fitting breast shields
Properly fitting breast shields 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
breast shield.
• 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.
PersonalFit™Breast Shields
PersonalFit™Breast Shields are available at many local retailers or visit
www.shopmedela.com.
9. Breast Shield Sizing
• 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 shield tunnel, use of a lubricant such as Tender Care™Lanolin may
be beneficial.
• For assistance with correct breast shield sizing and comfort please visit
www.medelabreastshields.com or see a lactation consultant / breastfeeding specialist.

assembled and the membrane cap must be firmly fitted to the
breast pump membrane to form a seal.
•The protective membrane must be intact.
•Do not kink or pinch the tubing during expression.
•All components must be completely dry.
Yellow Valve Head and Membrane Check
• Remove and separate valve from the membrane.
• Inspect the yellow valve head for chips or cracks. Inspect the white
membrane for holes or tears. If flawed or damaged, replace the
yellow valve head and/or white membrane prior to pumping.
• Wash yellow valve head and white membrane per Cleaning

12. 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 breast pump. 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
(1-800-835-5968).
