Warning: Always use the breast pump with a cushion.
Operating the manual breast pump
1 Wash your hands thoroughly and make sure your breasts are clean.
2 Relax in a comfortable chair (you may wish to use cushions to support
your back). Make sure you have a glass of water nearby.
3 Press the assembled pump body against your breast. Make sure that your
nipple is centered, so that the massage cushion creates an airtight seal.
4 Make sure that your nipple fits correctly in the cushion. See for correct
size of cushion, section „Find the best cushion for you".
5 Gently start to press down the handle until you feel the suction on your
breast. Then allow the handle to return to its resting position.
Note: You do not have to press down the handle fully, only as much as
is comfortable. Your milk will soon start flowing, even though you are not
using all the suction the pump can generate.
6 Repeat step 5 rapidly 5 or 6 times to initiate the 'let-down' reflex.
7 Adopt a slower rhythm by pressing down the handle and keeping it
pressed down for up to 3 seconds before you let it return to its resting
position. Continue in this way while your milk is flowing. If your hand
becomes tired, try to use the other hand to operate the breast pump or
rest your arm across your body to pump from the opposite breast.
Note: Do not worry if your milk does not flow immediately. Relax and
continue pumping. The first few times you use the breast pump, you may
need to use a higher suction mode to get your milk flowing.
Warning: Do not continue pumping for more than 5 minutes at a time
if you do not succeed in expressing any milk. Try to express at another
time during the day.
Warning: If the process becomes very uncomfortable or painful,
stop using the pump and consult your breastfeeding advisor.
8 On average, you need to pump for 10 minutes to express 60-125ml
(2-4fl oz) of breast milk from one breast. However, this is just an
indication and varies from woman to woman.
