How To Fit Your Flange; Storing Pumped Milk In Bottles - Ameda FINESSE Instrucciones De Uso

6.4 How to Fit Your Flange

Check breast flange fit, if pumping causes discomfort a larger or smaller breast
flange size may be needed.
GOOD FIT -
During pumping, your nipple
moves freely in the breast
flange tunnel. You see
space around the nipple.
Not much areola is drawn
into the tunnel with the
nipple.

6.5 Storing Pumped Milk in Bottles

Make sure to not overfill bottles. If you plan on freezing bottles, fill only up
to ¾ full, as milk expands with freezing. After milk has been pumped into
Ameda storage bottles, close by placing locking disc on
top of bottle (make sure circular raised middle part of disc
is facing up). Tighten locking ring onto bottle. Label bottle
with date and time that milk was pumped. Use storage chart
provided as a guideline.
