OPERATING GUIDE
PUMPING TIPS
- Eat lactation-friendly foods to increase your milk production.
- Stay hydrated and avoid coee and alcohol.
- Set yourself up for success by making things easy on yourself. Stress can inhibit let-down and milk production.
- Use warm compresses and massage your breasts while pumping. Not only will this keep ducts from becoming clogged,
but it will also ensure every last drop of milk is removed from your breasts, helping to increase your milk production.
- Make sure you’re pumping long enough to stimulate multiple let-downs.
- For maximum milk expression, we recommend that you pump more frequently but in short increments.
(10-15 minutes per breast, every 2-3 hours, 7-8 times a day.)
- If pain occurs, consult your lactation consultant or physician.
Caution : Do not twist or bend the air tube. Do not overll the collection bottle.
-Clean your hands and sanitize the kit before using the breast pump.
- Make sure you have the proper breast shield size for you.
- Press the power button gently for 1-2 seconds to turn the pump on.
- Position the nipple in the center of the breast shield.
- Start on massage mode to stimulate your let-down reex. After 2 - 3 minutes, switch to expression mode to eectively
collect breast milk.
- Increase or decrease vacuum level and cycles until you nd the most comfortable setting for you.
- Turn the unit o after use.
