Instructions For Use; Operation; Frequency Of Expressing; Procedure - NUK Expressive Instrucciones De Operación

Before using the pump, disassemble and clean according to the instructions in sections 5 and 6.

8.1 Operation

1. Position the breast shield (2) on your breast so that the
nipple is positioned in the center of the shield. Gently
press the breast shield (2) in order to ensure a good
seal when expressing the milk. Hold the pump in a
vertical position.
NOTE: If the pump tips over, it will turn off automatically.
2. Turn the breast pump on. To do so, gently turn the knob
(9) clockwise. The pump is on once you hear a click.
3. Now you can adjust the suction strength by turning the
knob (9) even more clockwise. You can turn the knob
counterclockwise at any time in order to reduce the
suction strength. If you feel pain for any reason, stop
pumping, using either the controls on the pump or by
inserting a finger between the shield and breast to
break the suction.
CAUTION: In order not to damage the pump, you should
be sure that the expressed milk collected in the container
(5) does not contact the lip valve (4).
4. To switch off the pump, turn the knob (9)
counterclockwise to the very end. The pump turns off
once you hear a click.
5. After expressing, place the breast pump in the stand
(6) for stability. The pump must not be allowed to topple
over as milk might leak from the container (5).
6. Unscrew the NUK Breast Milk Container (5) from the
®
connection ring (3) and pump motor unit (8). Be sure to
keep the container vertical.
Correct expressing needs practice. You should first
become accustomed to your new pump. If you continue
to experience difficulty nursing, contact your medical
professional.

8.2 Frequency of Expressing

The frequency of expressing depends on your individual
situation. If you will be apart from your baby and/or want
to sustain milk production, the natural breastfeeding
rhythm should be maintained. You should therefore
express 6 to 8 times daily, including once during the night.
In all other cases you should express entirely to suit your
own individual needs.

8. Instructions for Use

8.3 Procedure

Express milk from each breast in turn. This electric breast
pump has a pulsing suction rhythm that imitates your
baby's natural sucking action while breastfeeding.
• Alternate between breasts when the milk flow slows
down or ceases.
• The amount of time needed to express milk will vary
considerably from one person to another.
The following intervals have proven effective, but times
may vary according to the individual:
• right 5 – 7 minutes, left 5 – 7 minutes;
• right 3 – 5 minutes, left 3 – 5 minutes;
• right 2 – 3 minutes, left 2 – 3 minutes.

8.4 Milk Quantity

Do not be surprised if it takes a little longer at first before
the milk really starts to flow. This is not unusual, in fact it
is perfectly normal, because in general, milk production
adapts to daily requirements. This means that the quantity
of milk produced may vary considerably.
• Be sure to drink enough fluids to stimulate milk
production.
• Do not set the suction strength too high. Higher suction
strength does not cause a larger amount of milk.

8.5 Let-Down Reflex

During natural breastfeeding, placing the baby on the
breast stimulates the let-down reflex and the milk begins
to flow. You can further stimulate if you:
• Find a quiet place where you can be fully relaxed as you
express the milk.
• Adopt a comfortable and relaxed sitting position.
• Place a warm compress on your breast for a few
minutes to relax the tissue before expressing.
• It may be helpful to have eye contact with your baby. If
that is not possible, try to look at a photo of your baby.
• The let-down reflex releases the flow of milk to both
breasts simultaneously.
