flow reflex. This emulates the suckling
action of most babies, which will initially
suck rapidly and avidly at the start of
feeding.
• In the "milk flow phase", suction is slow
and strong to ensure maximum milk flow.
Again, this corresponds to most babies'
natural behaviour. As soon as a baby's
initial appetite is satisfied, it will change
to a calm, slow and intensive sucking
action while drinking its fill.
If the milk flow drops:
• Change breast
• Alternatively, you
the"stimulation phase"
stimulate your milk flow reflex anew.
The amount of time needed to express milk
will vary considerably from one person to
another.

9.3 Quantity of milk

Don't be surprised if it takes a little while for
the milk to start to flow properly at first. This
is not unusual. In fact it is quite normal
because
milk production adapts itself to daily
requirements.
Hygiene is particularly important when using
the breast pump. This applies to all the
individual pump components as well as to
your own personal hygiene. We recommend
11.1 With Breast Milk
Container
Breast milk may be chilled, frozen and
defrosted in the breast milk container 12.
The breast milk container 12 may also be
used for warming and feeding. It is
important that you follow the instructions
about handling breast
provided in "11.2 Important
handling breast milk" on page 34.
This means that the quantity of milk
produced may vary considerably.
• Ensure you drink plenty of liquid yourself.
• Do not set suction strength too high. A
higher suction strength does not increase
the quantity of milk produced.

9.4 Let-down reflex

During natural breastfeeding, placing the
baby on the breast stimulates the let-down
reflex and milk begins to flow. You can also
stimulate the let-down reflex as follows:
• Find yourself a quiet place to sit, where
you can relax fully when using the breast
can repeat
pump.
in order to
• Adopt a comfortable and relaxed sitting
position.
• Place a warm compress on your breast
for a few minutes, to relax the tissue, and
massage your breast.
• The let-down reflex triggers milk flow in
both breasts simultaneously. You can use
the NUK Breast Shell Set to collect
breast milk leaking from the breast you
are not currently expressing.
