How to Use your Whittlestone Expresser
1. Wash your hands thoroughly and make sure your breasts are clean
2. Make sure that you have sterilised and assembled your expresser
exactly as shown on page 4 - 5
3. Refer to the “Successful Breastmilk Expression” section
4. Relax in a comfortable chair leaning forward slightly
5. Set vacuum dial on white housing (3) to medium setting
6. Centre nipple into honeycomb liner opening
7. Begin squeezing and releasing handle (4) (approximately once
per second)
8. Milk should begin to flow after the first few strokes.
Do not worry if your milk does not flow immediately,
relax and continue pumping.
Note: Medium setting is good for most Mums, but if too high or low,
adjust vacuum dial accordingly: towards the breast for less vacuum
- away from the breast for higher vacuum.
