•Use Freemie only with compatible pumps.
• Keep Freemie in an upright position while pumping.
• Transfer milk to a proper storage container right after pumping.
• Use Freemie when you must express milk discreetly and hands-free underneath
normal clothing.
• Use Freemie only as often and only as long as you normally breastfeed your
baby. Consult a lactation professional if you have questions about your milk
supply.
• Use with a bra or manually hold in place.
• Keep out of reach of infants and children. Freemie has small parts that can be a
choking hazard.
• Consult your lactation professional if you have questions about whether Freemie
is appropriate for you or to help determine the correct funnel size for you.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
USE ONLY WITH FREEMIE COMPATIBLE PUMPS. USE WITH UNAPPROVED
PUMPS MAY CAUSE INJURY TO YOU OR DAMAGE YOUR PUMP. MISUSE MAY
VOID WARRANTY. SEE COMPATIBLE PUMPS ON PAGES 18 - 22.
• Do not bend forward or recline while using Freemie, and avoid excessive
movement. This could cause leakage, loss of suction, and milk to ow into
tubing.
• Do not overll Freemie cups, as this may cause milk to ow into the tubing. You
may hear a faint bubbling sound as Freemie cups are lling. There is a risk of
overlling if you are hearing impaired or use Freemie in a noisy environment.
• Do not use Freemie if you must watch your milk ejection reex or manually
massage your breasts while pumping to ensure that they are completely empty.
• Do not share. Freemie is a personal use item.
• Do not use Freemie in any situation that may be unsafe should you become
drowsy or distracted during milk expression.
• Do not use Freemie for simultaneous breastfeeding and pumping with
compromised infants without rst consulting your healthcare or lactation
professional.
• Do not continue to use Freemie if you experience pain or discomfort in the
breast or nipple while pumping.
• Do not put any Freemie components in the dishwasher or steam sterilize as this
can cause warping, melting and leaking.

parts if signs of wear are noted.

Connecting to Compatible Pumps
See Compatible Pump Diagrams section (pages 18 - 22) for further information on
how to connect your Freemie Collecton Cups to your approved compatible pump.
Additionally, be sure to review your breast pump’s User Manual.

Positioning Within Your Bra
Bra t is critical to the proper use of this device.
!
1. Before choosing a bra, pump with Freemie using your hands to hold the
Cups in place. Consider how much pressure you normally apply against
your breasts to pump. This pressure may be different when your breasts
are engorged versus when they are empty. To achieve the same pressure
and sensation with the Cups in your bra, it may be necessary to adjust your
bra or try different bras to get the best t for you. A sports bra works well for
some women.
2. Your bra must keep the Freemie cups in an upright position and not allow
the device to slip around, sag downward, or tilt off to the side during use.
3. Place Freemie inside your bra with the Breast Funnel opening centered over
the nipple.
4. Make sure you achieve a good seal between Freemie and your skin.
!Ensure nipple is centered in the Breast Funnel and not
bent or pinched off.
