Correctly fi tting breastshields
Properly fi tting breastshields will ensure comfort and effi cient milk expression.
To determine if you have the correct size, look at the following diagram:
• The nipple should be centered in the tunnel of the shield.
• The nipple should move freely without rubbing when the pump is turned on.
• Minimal or no part of your areola should be pulled into the
tunnel of the breastshield.
• You should see a gentle, rhythmic motion in the breast with
each cycle of the pump.
• After pumping, your breast should feel less full with no areas
of hardness.

• While some discomfort may be felt when fi rst using a breastpump, using a breastpump
should not cause pain.
• If you are experiencing discomfort at the base of the nipple due to rubbing of your breast
tissue with the breastshield tunnel, use of a lubricant such as Tender Care
™
Lanolin may
be benefi cial.

Caution
9B. Preparing breastmilk
• Do not thaw frozen breastmilk in a microwave or in a pan of boiling water.
• Do not microwave breastmilk. Microwaving can cause severe burns to baby’s mouth
from hot spots that develop in the milk during microwaving. (Microwaving can also
change the composition of breastmilk.)
• Thaw breastmilk overnight in the refrigerator. Thawed breastmilk is safe
in the refrigerator for 24 hours. Do not refreeze thawed breastmilk.
• Quickly thaw breastmilk by holding the bottle under warm running water.
• Place the sealed bottle in a bowl of warm water for 20 minutes to bring it
to body temperature.
• If you are adding expressed breastmilk to a container of already frozen
breastmilk, make sure to add a lesser amount than the already frozen
amount.
9C. Feeding breastmilk
It is recommended that breastfeeding is well established prior to bottle
feeding your baby.
• Always inspect the bottle, nipple and other components immediately
before and after each use. If nipple appears cracked or torn, discontinue
use immediately.
• To prevent possible choking hazard, test strength of nipple by pulling on
bulb portion of the nipple.
• Do not attempt to enlarge the nipple hole.
• Infants must not be bottle fed without adult supervision.
• Nipple should not be used as a pacifi er.
