Solution
-
Make sure that you use a power source (an adapter
or a power bank) with a USB port, of 5 V direct
current/1.8 A or 9 W for your breast pump.
-
The breast pump is too cold or too hot for charging.
Let the breast pump acclimatize to room
temperature for 30 minutes.
Make sure that the battery is charged (see 'Charging the
breast pump') or connect the breast pump to a power
source. Use a power source (an adapter or a power
bank) with a USB port, of 5 V direct current/1.8 A or 9 W
for your breast pump.
-
Before pumping, try warming your breast with a
warm towel and massaging it to stimulate the
areola so the breast is completely unblocked.
-
If possible, try a lower suction level. When you
express for the first time, start with the default
suction level (level 5 in stimulation mode, level 11 in
expression mode) and increase/decrease the level
when needed. During different expression sessions,
different levels may feel most comfortable for you.
-
Make sure that you only use the breast pump parts
provided with this breast pump.
-
Check if the membrane is not damaged (does not
have small cracks, holes etc.).
Below some common breastfeeding-related conditions
are described. If you experience any of these symptoms,
contact a healthcare professional or breastfeeding
specialist.
Description
Pain felt on the breast or nipple, or felt as a response to
the suction being above a comfortable level.
Persistent pain in the nipples at the beginning of the
pumping session, or that lasts throughout the entire
pumping session, or pain between sessions.
