5 Using your pump
Before using the pump
•
Wash your hands thoroughly, and
make sure your breasts are clean.
Gently squeeze a little milk from
each nipple to make sure that milk
ducts are not blocked.
•
Make sure you follow the steps
in “Cleaning and sterilising” and
“Assembling” chapters to clean,
sterilise, and assemble the breast
pump.
•
Relax in a comfortable chair,
leaning slightly forward (use
cushions to support your back).
Make sure that you have a glass
of water nearby.
To begin pumping
1
Press the assembled pump
bodies against your breasts.
Make sure that your nipples are
centered, so that the massage
cushion creates an airtight seal.
Make sure that no air escapes;
otherwise there is no suction.
Note
•
If you have inserted batteries in
the battery housing of the pump
motor and plug in the adapter,
the breast pump will run from
the main power supply. The
batteries cannot be charged in
the unit.
