4.5. Pumping Guide
4.6. Getting Started
1. Gently massage your breasts or apply warm compresses from the back of the
breast toward the nipple before using.
2. Express milk from each breast for 10-15 minutes. It is recommended to pump
frequently rather than pumping for a long duration. (Every 2-3 hours, 8 times a day)
1. Before first use, charge the breast pump battery fully with the power adapter OR
plug power adapter into a standard electrical outlet.
2. Center the breast flange on your breast so that the nipple is drawn into the flange.
It’s important that breast flange is positioned properly before pumping begins
to avoid any pain that may result due to rubbing or twisting of your nipple onto
the side of the flange. If double pumping, position the second breast flange as
instructed above.
IMPORTANT: When the power adapter is plugged in the LCD screen will light
up and the battery will be charged. The battery status will be displayed.
While some discomfort may be felt when first using a breast pump, using a
breast pump should not cause pain. If you are unsure about breast flange
sizing, please contact a healthcare professional or AMEDA representative
who can help you get a proper flange fit.
GOOD FIT
During pumping. your nipple
moves freely in the breast
flange tunnel. You see space
around the nipple. Not much
areola is drawn into the
tunnel with the nipple.
TOO LARGE
During pumping. more areola
is drawn into the breast flange
with your nipple. Your areola
may rub against the side of
the breast flange tunnel.
TOO SMALL
During pumping. some or all
of your nipple rubs against
the sides of the breast flange
tunnel.
