Assembling The Breastmilk Expression Set
Your Breastmilk Expression Set comes preassembled in Lansinoh product packaging.
Clean Breastmilk Expression Set parts (except tubing and tubing connector) as described in
the “Cleaning Instructions” section (see page 6). Once all parts are clean and dry, assemble
the expression set as follows:
1. Place purple diaphragm on top of breast cushion body, twist clear diaphragm cap onto
breast cushion body, enclosing the purple diaphragm. Diaphragm can be used on either
side. Ensure diaphragm cap is twisted tightly into place.
2. Push breast cushion into breast cushion body.
3. Gently secure white valve into the bottom of breast cushion.
Note:
Use caution when handling and cleaning the small
white valve (see page 6).
4. Screw breastmilk storage bottle onto breast cushion body.
5. Insert tubing into back of clear diaphragm cap, ensuring
a tight fit.
6. Insert tubing connector, at end of tubing, into tubing adapter input on the pump.
7. Now you are ready to use the pump.
Pumping Tips
The most important part of successful pumping is the let-down reflex. This is when your
milk begins to flow freely. Warm wet compresses applied to the breasts and light, circular
massaging of the breasts prior to and/or during a pumping session will help this natural reflex
occur. Thinking of or looking at your baby, or a photo of your baby, may also be helpful.
Some mums can achieve more than one let-down during a pumping session. You may be
able to achieve a second or third let-down during your pumping session by pressing the
Quick-Change button.
How Long To Pump
Double pumping, compared to single pumping, will reduce the time you spend. It is important
to remember that successful pumping is a learned skill. Breastmilk is produced on a supply
and demand basis: expressing your breastmilk regularly stimulates and maintains your milk
supply. If breastfeeding problems occur, contact your midwife, breastfeeding counsellor or
other healthcare professional.
Using The Lansinoh Affinity Breast Pump
For Double Pumping:
1. Make sure both tubes are attached to the tubing
connector and insert into pump base.
2. Hold the Breastmilk Expression Set to your breasts
so that your nipples are centred.
3. Press the On/Off button to begin pumping. Lansinoh
Affinity Pump will start in the Let-Down Phase .
You will hear a higher pitched sound in short cycles.
After two minutes, the Let-Down Phase will automatically
change to the Expression Phase. This is characterised by
a lower pitch sound and longer cycles.
If you prefer to bypass the pre-set Let-Down Phase or
if your milk lets down sooner than two minutes, press
the Quick-Change button to move to the Expression
Phase.
Note – the Expression Icon will appear in the
display to signify that you are in the Expression Phase.
