designed to help you and your baby whenever natural breastfeeding is not possible. Please take the time to
read these operating instructions carefully before using your NUK

1. Warnings & Precautions
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS BREAST PUMP.
1.1 General Information
• Use the NUK
®
Expressive
™
Manual Breast Pump and accessories for their intended purpose only.
• Keep small parts that may be swallowed out of the reach of children as this can be a choking hazard.

cream needs to be removed before nursing or expressing milk.

1.2 Hygiene Tips
Hygiene is particularly important when using a breast pump. This applies to all the individual pump components
as well as to your own personal hygiene. We recommend a daily shower or to wash your nipples in clean water.
Where possible, avoid using soap on your nipples, as this may cause irritation. When on the go, NUK
®
Breast
Wipes are a convenient option for cleaning the nipple area before and after feeding.
