Thank you for choosing Sobia’s breast pump. Breastfeeding is one of nature most beautiful
gifts a mother can give to her child. Unfortunately, there are some situations and reasons
why breastfeeding is not always possible. Sobia wants to make sure every mother can
participate and provide the best equipment during this beautiful journey. TheWorld Health
Organisation and Healthcare professionals recommend breast milk as the primary source
of nutrition during the rst two years. After a period of 6 months, you can combine breast
feeding with solid food. Breast milk is by nature adapted to your baby’s needs and helps to
protect against infections and allergies. If you choose to breastfeed longer than anticipated,
you can express and store your milk so that your baby can still enjoy the benets, even if
you cannot be there to provide it yourself. Our breast pumps are compact, quiet, discrete,
and easy to take anywhere with you, allowing to express milk at your own convenience and
to maintain your milk supply. The breast pumps are well engineered to foresee continues
voltage and strong suction power. This means the suction power will not weaken and still
perform the same if the battery is on 100% or 5%. It takes a learning curve to nd your
comfortable level to breast pump.
Sobia is a brand created for babies, by mothers for mothers.
Breast pumps of Sobia are well known for the 4 modes:
• Massage
• Expression
• Lactation
• Auto
The massage modus is a rapid micro vibration to help stimulate milk production, relieve
blocked ducts, swelling and lumps. By imitating the suction of a baby, the massage modes
help to trigger the let-down reex.
Once let-downs begin you can switch to Expression or Lactation mode, which are using
both dierent frequencies and have their own characteristics. Thanks to the 12 dierent
suction levels, you can choose what level you feel comfortable with during your journey.
There is also an auto mode which will switch from Massage mode to Expression mode
automatically after 5 times.

II. WARNING AND SAFETY!
Before using the breast pump read this manual carefully.
Warnings identify all instructions that are important for safety. Failure to observe these
instructions can lead to personal injury or damage to the product.
1. Warnings
Never use breast pumps during pregnancy as pumping can induce labour.
a. Avoid choking, strangulation and injury:
🞕This breast pump is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge. Such
persons can only use this breast pump if they are supervised by or have received proper
instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
🞕Do not allow children or pets to play with the motor, adapter, packaging materials or
accessories.
b. Prevent transmitting infectious diseases:
🞕If you are infected with Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C or HIV, expressing breast milk will not
reduce or remove the risk of transmitting the virus to your baby through your breast
milk. Always consult your healthcare professional when in doubt.
c. Avoid re, electric shocks, or serious burns:
🞕Before each use inspect the breast pump for signs of damage. If the breast pump is

🞕Never use electrical products that have been exposed to water or other liquids:
• Do not use while bathing or showering.
• Never place or drop into water or other liquids.
• Do not run water over the motor unit.
• If an electrical product has been exposed to water or other liquids, do not touch,
and turn o immediately.
d. Avoid contamination and to ensure hygiene:
🞕For hygienic reasons, the breast pump is only intended for repeated use by a single
user.
🞕Clean, disinfect and sterilise all non-electric parts before rst use. Clean and wash
directly after each session.
🞕Using antibacterial or abrasive cleaning agents may cause damage on the breast pump.

🞕Cleaning and maintenance must not be performed by children without supervision.
e. Avoid breast and nipple problems including pain:
🞕Do not use the breast pump if the silicone ange appears to be damaged or broken.
🞕Only use accessories and parts recommended by Sobia.
🞕Do not modify the breast pumps, if you do so the warranty becomes invalid.
🞕Never use the breast pump while you are sleepy or drowsy to avoid lack of attention
during the session.
🞕It’s advised to switch o the breast pump before removing the pump from your breast
in order to release the vacuum.
🞕If the vacuum is uncomfortable or causes pain, switch o and remove the breast pump
from your breast.
🞕Do not continue pumping for more than ve minutes at a time if you do not succeed in
expressing any milk. Try to express at another time during the day.
🞕If the process becomes very uncomfortable or painful, stop using the pump and consult
your healthcare professional.
f. Prevent damage and malfunction:
🞕Portable radio frequency (RF) such as mobile phones and other communication
equipment, should not be used closer than 30cm to any electronic part of the breast
pump. This could create interference with the breast pump and negatively impact the
performance of the breast pump.

IV. Getting Started
1. Cleaning before rst use
WARNING!
Do not wash the breast pump with antibacterial or abrasive cleaning agent as this may
cause damage. Don’t forget to sterilise before rst use.
CAUTION!
🞕Never put the motor unit in water or in a dishwasher as this causes permanent damage.
🞕After each session, immediately wash all parts that came into contact with breast milk.
This will prevent growth of bacteria and help remove breast milk residue.
🞕Wash before each session your hands thoroughly with soap and water.
🞕Only use drinking-quality tap water or bottled water for cleaning.
🞕Do not place pump parts in the sink to rinse or wash. Use a clean wash basin used only
for infant feeding items.
🞕Do not use a dish towel to rub or pat items dry instead leave all parts to air- dry on a
clean tea towel or drying rack.
Step 1: Disassembling
Parts that came in contact with milk should be cleaned manually or in the dishwasher after
each use. All parts apart from the electric units (motor) can be washed or sterilised.
NOTE!
Don’t forget to sterilise before rst use.
When using the dishwasher please bear mind that the silicon parts can discolour after a
time.
Step 2: Cleaning
a. Wash by hand
i. Rinse the parts that come into direct contact with breast milk (except for the motor)
with cool water.
ii. Clean these parts with plenty of warm, soapy water.
iii. Rinse the parts with cool water.
iv. Leave all parts to air- dry on a clean tea towel or drying rack.
b. Wash in dishwasher
i. Place the disassembled parts (except for the motor) on the top of the dishwasher
ii. Put dishwashing liquid or tablet in the machine and run a standard program.
iii. Leave all parts to air- dry on a clean tea towel or drying rack.

Step 3: Disinfecting
CAUTION!
When sterilising in boiling water, make sure the silicon parts do not touch the side of the
pan. This can cause irreversible product deformation or damage that Sobia cannot be held
liable for.
i. Fill a household pot with enough water to cover all parts and place all parts in the
pot. Let the water boil for max 5 minutes, water should not reach temperatures
higher than 100°C.
ii. Gently remove the parts from the water. Place the parts on a clean surface/tea towel
or drying rack to air-dry.
2. Tubing parts
CAUTION!
If the tubing becomes mouldy, stop using immediately and replace tubing as soon as
possible.
NOTE!
Do not use the breast pumps if the tubing becomes wet/mouldy, doing so will damage the
motor.
Tubing only conveys an air ow from the motor (it does not come in contact with breast
milk), normally cleaning of the tubing should not be necessary. Make sure to inspect the
tubing to see if you can nd condensation in the air tube. If so, wash with water only and
dry immediately or replace it. If you see breast milk inside the tubing do not attempt to
wash or sanitise it, replace with new tubing.
a. How to wash tubing
i. Separate the tubing from the device.
ii. Rinse the tubing by pouring cool water into the tubing end until it ows out of the
other tubing end.
iii. Wash the tubing in warm, soapy water.
iv. Rinse the tubing with clean water.
b. How to dry tubing
i. Shake out any water droplets inside the tubing.
ii. Hang the tubing to air dry.
iii. Make sure the tubing is completely dry before using it again.

V. Using the breast pump
Make sure to only use clean and dry parts for assembly..
1. Assembling the breast pump
WARNING!
When sterilised in hot water the breast pump parts can be very hot. To prevent burns, only
start assembling the breast pump when disinfected parts have completely cooled down
and air dried
Insert the silicone diaphragm into the connector and press
it in with your hands to ensure that the edges are fastened
tightly, securing a perfect seal.
Place the assembled connector into the collection cup,
with the“ears”of the connector aligned with the internal
slot of the collection cup and press in the connector disc

Install the silicone breast shield into the collection cup. Align the groove on the silicone shield with
the groove on the collection cup. Press until everything falls into each other, and no air can enter
the cup anymore.
Insert the pump’s motor onto the top of the collection cup and ensure that it ts perfectly.

Choose a smaller ange size and make sure it’s
good connected into the 24mm ange.
Good t Too small Too big
2. Flange size guide
Measure the base of your nipple, where the nipple meets the areola. Do not measure
your areola, just the width of your nipple. Add 4mm to your measurement. These extra
millimetres allow for some space between your nipple and the ange tunnel, as well as for
a bit of nipple expansion while pumping.
NOTE!
You can use coconut oil while pumping to soothe and help repair sore and cracked
nipples. Simply apply a small amount of coconut oil directly to the nipple.
If the ange should be adapted, please do so following this picture:

4. Start pumping
Press the silicone shield rmly against the breast, leave no gaps and make sure your
nipples are centred. Keep it upright. Be careful not to distort the position of the product
and the chest, otherwise the breast pump will not have suction. Long press the power
button (1-2 seconds) to start the breast pump and the timing display will turn on.
CAUTION!
🞕Do not try to express with vacuum that is too high and uncomfortable. The pain,
along with potential breast and nipple trauma, may decrease milk output.
🞕In case you express only minimal or no milk at all, contact your healthcare professional
or breastfeeding specialist.
GOOD TO KNOW!
🞕Maximum comfort vacuum (which is dierent for every mother) is the highest
vacuum setting where pumping still feels comfortable.
🞕Stimulation should be at a comfortable vacuum level, striving for a maximum level is
not necessary.
🞕Reassess your maximum comfort vacuum throughout your pumping experience. It
can change throughout time and each stage of lactation.

Below you nd guidelines for storing breast milk:
VI. Storing breast milk
Room tempera-
ture 16 - 25°C
Refrigerator 4°C
or colder
Freezer –18°C or
colder
Thawed breast
milk
Up to 4 hours. Up to 3 days. Up to 6-12 months.
Room temperature:
Up to 2 hours.
Refrigerator: Up to
24 hours
Do not refreeze!
These guidelines for storage and thawing of breast milk are recommendations. Contact
your lactation consultant or breastfeeding specialist for further information.
WARNING!
🞕Never refreeze thawed breast milk.
🞕Never add fresh breast milk to frozen breast milk.
1. Freezing
Repeated freeze/thaw cycles destroy the structure of milk. Therefore, never refreeze breast
milk.
Freeze expressed breast milk in plastic bottles or milk storage bags. Do not ll the bottles or
bags more than 3/4 full to allow space for possible expansion.
NOTE!
Always label the bottles or milk bags with the date of expression.
2. Thawing
Do not thaw or warm breast milk in a microwave or a pan with boiling water. This prevents
burns and helps preserve important components of the breast milk. To preserve these
breast milk components, thaw the milk overnight in the refrigerator. Alternatively, hold the
bottle or bag under warm water (max.37°C).
