Tips
Pumping Tips:
The most important and successful part of pumping is the let-down reflex. The let-down reflex is when your milk begins
to flow freely.
● Try relaxing with a warm, wet compress on your breasts.
● Sometimes a light circular massaging of the breasts prior to and/or during a pumping session will help your let-down
reflex start/continue.
● Go to a Non-stressful environment (close the door to your office, or to the lounge area).
● Use a comfortable chair that gives lower back support with or without a footstool. After all, you're the one who has to
be comfortable.
● Think soothing thoughts about your baby and/or look at your favorite baby photo(s).
● Some mothers found that their let-down reflex will automatically occur when they hear their baby cry. It happens for
other moms when they hear any baby cry.
Depending on your health and milk production condition, you may be able to achieve more than one let-down in one
pumping session. You can switch back and forth between the Stimulation Cycle and Expression Cycle just by pressing
the Let-Down Button.
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 it feels uncomfortable or painful on your breasts while using the Pump, try decreasing the suction level by rolling the
Vacuum Adjusting Wheel down (-). You may also try pumping with/without the Silicone Cushion. If these tips do not help,
turn the product off and remove the pump from your breasts. If you are still experiencing pain or discomfort, consult your
healthcare professional or an international board certified lactation consultant.
