C. Memory
Plug the adapter into the pump after you stop using it and the frequency and level of suction you have used
last will be memorized, When you turn the breast pump on, it will starts working at the same frequency and
level.
If there is no result from the pumping, please stop trying! Try to use the pump at another time of the day.
You should pump for 8 minutes on average, for 120 ml to get expressed.Please, have in mind that the
quantity of milk varies for different women. If you find that you usually express more than 120 ml. per session,
you should use larger feeding bottle.
Do not overfill the feeding bottle, otherwise the it may leak.
When you stop using the pump, switch off from the ON/ OFF button. Afterwards remove the tube from the
rear part of the pump's body. Remove the body of the pump from the bottle. Close the bottle with the spiral
lid and the nipple with cover.
IX. WHEN TO USE YOUR BREAST PUMP
1. If it is possible. Only if you have sufficient milk secretion and normal time for breast feeding. The use of the
electric breast pump may begin usually two or four weeks after the birth of your baby.
2. In the following cases you can always use your breast pump:
• When breast milk must be provided to your baby, but you are in the hospital.
• If you have more breast milk, you can express some of it between meals in order to reduce the pain of the
bulging breasts, and this way it is easier for the baby to suck.
•If your nipples pain or are cracking, you can express some milk for feeding until the nipples get back.
• If you need to separate with your baby and hope to continue breastfeeding after reunion, breast milk can be
expressed periodically to maintain milk secretion.
X. HINTS
It takes practice in order to use the breast pump the best possible way. So it will take you at least several
attempts before starting successfully to use the electric breast pump.
Choose a quiet time to use the pump – time, when no one will disturb you.
2. Sit in a comfortable chair, in a perpendicular position to the ground. Please, put a comfortable cushion
behind your back before you start using the breast pump. Take a glass of water and place it near you, because
you may feel thirsty during the pumping process.
3. Place a warm cloth on your breasts for a few minutes before starting to express the milk as this may
facilitate the process and relieve the tension in the breasts.
4. Warmth and relaxation can help for the easier pumping of the breast milk, so before using the pump, you
might like to take a bath or a shower.
5. Try expressing from one breast while your baby is feeding from the other, or continue expressing just after
the feed.
6. Repositioning the pump on your breast from time to time can help stimulate the secretion. Practice in order
to find the best pumping technique for you. If the process is causing you breast pain, stop immediately and
consult with a doctor at once.
7. Make sure that you have not blocked or covered the air opening of the pump body.
8. Breast pump use errors:
The electric pump is an apparatus, which helps postpartum women to ease the pain and to extend the
breastfeeding time. It uses the premise that there is sufficient milk and smooth mammary gland. For some
women, which are mothers for the first time, the mammary gland usually is not smooth enough. A reason
sometimes can be the congenital nipple inversion or milk water shortage. So, we suggest you before
purchasing and using the pump, to consult with a doctor who could confirm that your mammary gland is
smooth and that the breast milk is in normal condition. Do not buy and use the pump only as a device to
unblock your milk ducts.
XI. HOW TO STORE THE BREAST MILK
1. Only milk collected with a sterile pump should be stored for feeding Your baby.
2. Breast milk can be stored in a bottle warmer at 40°C, so you can breast feed Your baby within 4 hours.
