INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of the 2-Phase Electric Breast Pump LOVI! Prolactis Breast Pump is a professional
aid to support breastfeeding and solve problems of lactation. Ideal for situations requiring frequent pumping.
It also provides support for active and working mums who require alternative ways to feed breast milk. Enables
painless, comfortable milk expression in a short time. Tested in cooperation with Polish hospitals*.
Prolactis Breast Pump is equipped with two expression cycles inspired by baby’s sucking rhythms:
stimulation cycle and expression cycle.
Stimulation cycle –
imitates fast suckling moves that stimulate the production and milk let down.
Expression cycle –
reflects slower and deeper effective suckling. When milk start to flow, the baby must put more
effort into suckling. Milk slowly becomes more dense and filling, that is why the suckling rhythm and the pace slow
down.
Range of rhythm and power of Prolactis Breast Pump suction has been developed to reflect the natural suckling
process and how the rhythm of sucking changes during breastfeeding.
Using both cycles, you will express more milk in less time.
Additional diaphragm and handle, included in the Prolactis set, enables manual milk expression. Converting only
few parts, Electric Breast Pump LOVI Prolactis can be transformed into Manual Breast Pump LOVI Protect.
Breast milk is the healthiest and most valuable food for newborns and infants. It is recommended as a sole food
given to your child in the first 6 months of life. After six months, it should be combined with solid food.
NOTE! Do not use a breast pump in circumstances when a hungry baby fails to empty the breast itself, i.e. if there is any
possibility that your milk ducts are blocked.
USEFUL HINTS
When to use a breast pump?
If possible, wait until lactation stabilizes, which usually occurs within 2-4 weeks after birth.
Exceptions to this rule:
•
If your breasts produce too much milk, they become swollen and hard (engorged). Expressing a small amount
of milk before or during a feed can give you relief and help your baby to grasp the nipple.
•
If you have inverted nipples (which may occur because of long intervals between feeds.)
•
If you have a concave, flat or damaged nipples (using a breast pump can improve nipple shape).
•
If you feel overflow between breast feeds and do not want to wake the baby.
•
The baby is sick and does not want to suckle.
•
If your breasts produce too little milk, using the pump between feeds will help increase milk production.
•
When you are working or away from home and want to continue breastfeeding, you should regularly express
milk using a breast pump to sustain the natural process of lactation.
