Your Tommee Tippee Made for
Me™ silicone breast pump is a
soft silicone breast pump that
you can use to pump breast milk
to feed your baby, catch let-
down milk when you’re feeding
from the opposite breast and
to provide relief to engorged or
milk-filled breasts.
In the box, as well as your
pump, you’ll also find a reusable
Tommee Tippee Travel &
Microwave Steriliser bag that
you can use to keep your silicone
breast pump sterile, when you
take it out and about, and use to
sterilize your pump or feeding
accessories in the microwave.
• DO wash your hands with
soap and water and dry
thoroughly before handling
your breast pump.
• DO thoroughly clean and
sterilise all the parts of your
breast pump that come into
contact with milk, following
the instructions below. Do this
before you use it for the first
time and after every use.
• Always store your silicone
breast pump in a cool,
dry place away from heat
and moisture and out of
direct sunlight.
• Keep your silicone breast
pump well out of reach
of your baby and any
young children.
• Wash your silicone breast
pump in clean soapy water.
Don’t use water that you’ve
used for cleaning other
products.
• Rinse thoroughly with
clean water.
• Sterilise the silicone pump
using either cold water
sterilisation, microwave
sterilisation, boiling water, or
electric steam sterilisation.
• For best results use Tommee
Tippee electric or microwave
sterilisers or our Travel and
Microwave Steriliser Bag
enclosed in the pack.
• The included milk storage
pouch is a single use pouch
and is sterile ready for use.
Getting started
Remember How to clean
There’s also a single-use milk
storage pouch which is sterile
and ready for use.
Your silicone breast pump has
two sets of measurements to
help you monitor milk flow.
Metric millilitre (ml) and UK
fluid ounces (Fl Oz) are on the
side facing you (marked metric
millimetres). US fluid ounces
(Fl Oz) are marked on the side
facing away from you (marked
US).
IMPORTANT WARNINGS!
Please keep this instruction
guide for future reference as it
includes important information.

• Unless you’ve been told
otherwise, the best time to
try your breast pump for the
first time is after your baby’s
first feed of the day.
• Make sure you’re in a
comfortable position and
try to relax.
• Remember, you’re not trying
to suck milk out. It comes
from just behind your
nipple.
• Using your breast pump
shouldn’t hurt. If it does,
try a gentler pressure. Then
check your breasts. If you
have any red or hot areas,
stop using the breast pump
and get in touch with your
breastfeeding advisor
as soon as possible.
• Every mum is dierent. You
may only produce a little
milk, or flow freely. You
may produce more milk at
dierent times of the day
(morning or evening) or
dierent volumes from one
breast to another.
• Don’t continue using the
pump once your milk has
stopped coming. Give your
breasts a break.
Guidance when using your silicone breast pump
How to attach your silicone breast pump
1. Squeeze the
bottom part
of the pump
gently.
2. Gently place
the cup onto
your breast,
with your
nipple and
areola in the
centre.
3. Release your hand. Your nipple should sit and
seal around the narrow neck of the pump and
be gently drawn into the pump as you release
your hand. There is no need to seal the whole
pump with your breast or push your breast into
the pump.
4. For best results ensure your nipple is centred
in the narrow neck of the breast pump. It might
take a few goes to find the right position for you.

Using your silicone breast
pump as a manual breast
pump
Using your silicone breast
pump as a let-down catcher
When nursing on one breast
many mums find that they
naturally produce some milk
from the other breast. You can
use your Made for Me™ Silicone
Breast Pump to catch any milk
you produce from the opposite
breast while nursing.
You may need to try a few
slightly dierent positions
to find where it’s most
comfortable to place the
pump on your breast.
Attach your silicone breast pump as shown on page 2.
1. If you
are already
producing milk,
then leave the
pump in place to
collect it.
2. If you need
to stimulate
let-down, gently
squeeze the
pump a few times
or massage your
breast until your
milk starts to flow.
2. Squeeze the pump base and
release to gently pump milk from
your breast.
Once the bottle expands repeat
(2) to pump milk.
3. If you need
to stimulate
milk flow,
gently squeeze
the pump a
few times or
massage your breast until your
milk starts to flow. You may find it
more comfortable to support the
pump as it fills with breast milk.
3. Nurse your
baby on your
opposite breast
while using the
silicone pump
to catch your
let-down milk.
4. When your milk is no longer freely flowing,
remove the pump from your breast. Decant your
milk into a clean, sterilised bottle or pouch as
shown to feed or store.

When you want to stop expressing
Storing breast milk
If you want to take a break or
stop pumping, you can place
your silicone breast pump on
a clean dry surface. To keep it
upright, the silicone pump has
a suction base that will attach
to the surface and prevent any
accidental spills.
Pull the tab on the base to
release the suction to allow you
to lift the silicone breast pump
up, or tilt it at a 45° angle
before lifting.
• When you want to freeze
breast milk, allow space at
the top of your bottle for
it to expand. It’s easiest
to freeze breast milk in
individual feed quantities of
60-125ml 2-4oz.
• Your breast milk may
separate out into layers
when you store it. Give it a
shake to remix it thoroughly
before feeding your baby.
Don’t pull your silicone breast
pump vertically from a surface
that it’s stuck to without
releasing the suction as you
may spill your milk.
