• Check that all pump parts have been assembled
correctly and that the valve is positioned correctly.

Massage Cushion are fitted securely to the pump
body and a perfect seal is created.

control handle are firmly in place.
No milk being

Ensure the pump is correctly assembled and that
suction is being created.

Relax and try again, as expression may improve
after practice.

‘Hints to help you succeed’
section.

You may be squeezing too hard. You do not need to
use all the suction the pump can generate.

Try squeezing the handle more gently and remember
the 2-3 second pumping rhythm.
•
Consult your health professional/breastfeeding
advisor.

down the centre of the funnel.
• Try leaning slightly forward.
