Double-pumping is recommended, as this can help to increase
and maintain milk production.
Symphony PLUS contains two pumping programs:
EFFICIENCY
Symphony PLUS Pumping Programs
For mothers of term and preterm infants.
Quick start instructions
The Symphony PLUS breast pump, with its research-based
pumping programs, has been speci
fi
cally developed to support
mothers throughout their lactation journey, helping to initiate,
build and maintain an adequate milk production.
1
The INITIATE program
supports mothers to successfully
initiate milk production. The program mimics the irregular
and more rapid sucking and pausing pattern of a new born
infant in the
fi
rst days of lactation.
2
The MAINTAIN program
is designed to build and maintain
an adequate milk production and optimize milk output after
secretory activation (milk coming in) has occurred.
The program, with its 2-Phase Expression technology, mimics
an infant’s sucking pattern during established lactation.

regular Instructions for Use. Please refer to Symphony
Instructions for Use for more detailed information.
The INITIATE program
Use the INITIATE program directly after birth:
Once selected, the INITIATE program runs automatically
for 15 minutes, with several pauses. It is important to
complete the full program. At the end of the program
the display shows “Program complete”.
The pump switches off automatically.
The MAINTAIN program
Use the MAINTAIN program after secretory activation
(milk coming in) if:
The INITIATE Program has been successfully used
as per above,
OR
Breastfeeding has been established,
OR
You are more than
fi
ve days post birth.
Continue pumping until the breasts feel well drained
and soft all over. Switch the pump off manually when
the pumping session is
fi
nished. On average, pumping
sessions last approximately 15 minutes.
