INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Place your breast into the silicone flexcone™ ensuring that your nipple is central, and press the
assembled pump against your breast. Make sure that your breast is pressed tightly against the
cone in order to achieve the most comfortable suction, and to avoid air escapes.
The timer begins when the pump has been switched on, and measures time in minutes (e.g.
01 mins = 1 minute). Switch between modes using the button, and levels using + and -
buttons. Your chosen mode and level of
stimulation/expression are displayed on the
pump unit screen when in use.
Press and hold the power button on the control panel for 2-3 seconds to turn the pump on.
The breast pump automatically initiates level 1 of stimulation mode when switched on, and
you will start to feel suction on your breast. Use the + and - buttons on the control panel to
find a level of stimulation that’s comfortable for you - there are a total of 9 stimulation levels.
Once your milk starts flowing, you can change to expression mode by pressing the button.
Like in stimulation mode, there are 9 levels, all adjustable using + and -.
After 30 minutes, the breast pump will automatically switch off.
When you have finished expressing, press the power button to switch off the breast pump,
and carefully remove from your breast. Disconnect the power adapter from the socket and the
pump unit, and remove the silicone air tube from the pump unit and the pump body.
Place the bottle in the bottle stand and unscrew from the bottle adapter. Place the breast
pump components to one side and prepare the bottle for feeding/storage. Clean all parts of
the breast pump as soon as possible according to the instructions in the “Cleaning and Care”
section of this manual.
STORING YOUR BREAST MILK
• Once defrosted, never re-freeze breast milk.
• Never mix fresh and previously expressed breast milk.
• Always discard leftover milk at the end of a feed.
• Always express into a sterilised bottle.
Once you’ve unscrewed your NURTURE
®
breast like feeding bottle from your breast pump,
screw the assembled screw ring, teat and teat cap onto the bottle. Alternatively, you can
transfer your breast milk to Vital Baby
®
NURTURE
®
breast milk storage system or Vital Baby
®
NURTURE
®
easy pour breast milk storage bags.
You can store expressed breast milk in the fridge for up to 48 hours, or in the freezer for up
to 3 months. Always ensure that you use up older milk first, and never store in the fridge or
freezer door.
To defrost your breast milk, place the bottle, pot or bag in the fridge overnight, before
warming the next day. Use up defrosted breast milk within 24 hours of defrosting. To warm
your breast milk, we recommend that you place in a bowl of hot water or use a bottle
warmer. Always shake the bottle with the teat cap securely fixed to ensure that the milk is
evenly warmed. Always check the temperature before feeding. Never heat breast milk in
a microwave, as this may destroy valuable nutrients and antibodies, and can heat the milk
unevenly, creating hotspots in the liquid which could burn your baby.
