2.4 Using the Breast Pump
The Lansinoh
®
Compact Single Electric Breast Pump is very
easy to use, offering several settings that you can customise
to maximise your milk production and comfort.
Let-Down and Expression Phases
When babies breastfeed, they start with quick sucking
to stimulate your milk let‑down and flow. Once your
milk has let down, the baby draws the milk out with
slower, deeper sucks. To simulate this natural rhythm, the
Lansinoh
®
Compact Single Electric Breast Pump offers 2
phases – the Let‑Down Phase and the Expression Phase.
•
Let‑Down Phase is a faster pumping style which
mimics the short, rapid sucking your baby uses to
initiate milk flow
•
Expression Phase mimics the slower, deeper sucking
of feeding and features 5 adjustable suction levels that
can be tailored for your comfort.
The switch between the 2 phases can be easily operated
using the Let‑Down/Expression toggle button
.
Let‑Down Phase is identified on the keypad with slowly
dimming LED lights. Expression Phase is identified on the
keypad with still LED lights.
When the pump is turned on, it starts in Let‑Down Phase
and will automatically switch to the Expression Phase
after 2 minutes. If your milk starts flowing before the 2
minute transition, you can switch to Expression Phase
at any point by pressing the
button. You can always
return to the Let‑Down Phase when needed by pressing
the button again.
Operating the Breast Pump
•
Ensure that the breast pump has been properly
cleaned. Wash your hands thoroughly and make sure
your breasts are clean.
•
Ensure the breast pump and the Breastmilk Expression
Set have been correctly assembled and the silicone
tube is securely attached to the pump via the tubing
connector and to the diaphragm cap.
•
Hold the Breastmilk Expression Set to your breast with
the centre of your nipple extending towards the tunnel
of the ComfortFit® breast cushion.
•
Make sure the breast completely fills the ComfortFit® breast
cushion so that a vacuum is formed and no air escapes.
•
The Breastmilk Expression Set and nipple tunnel must
tilt slightly downward to allow milk to flow naturally
toward the bottle.
•
Press and hold the On/Off button
for a few
seconds to turn the pump on.
•
The breast pump will always start in Let‑Down Phase
Level 3 and will automatically switch to Expression
Phase after 2 minutes. If your milk starts flowing
before the 2 minute transition, you can switch to
Expression Phase at any point by pressing the
button. You can always return to the Let‑Down Phase
when needed by pressing the button again.
•
You can increase the suction level by pressing the
button. You can decrease the suction level by pressing
the
button. A maximum of 5 LED lights will
illuminate depending on the selected suction level.
•
Note: If at any time the suction becomes
uncomfortable, reduce it by pressing the
button.
•
When a pumping session is finished, turn the pump off
with the On/Off Button
.
Ensure there is no suction on the nipple before
removing the ComfortFit® breast cushion from the
breast. If necessary, break the suction by inserting a
finger between the breast cushion and the breast. Once
the suction is broken, the ComfortFit® breast cushion
can be removed safely.
•
Carefully remove the bottle from the breast cushion
body and close the bottle with the sealing cap
provided. Please follow the breastmilk storage
guidelines as outlined in Section 3.
•
Note: If the pump unit is left on and unattended for
more than 60 minutes, it will automatically power off.
Power Options
The pump may be operated using the following power
supply modes:

Connect the adapter to the power connector socket,
which is located on the same side of the pump as the
On/Off button. Plug the AC Adapter into an available
