A. Massage (Stimulation):
This feature helps to stimulate the flow of breast milk. We recommend that you use this option first and then switch to
squeezing mode. The massage regime mimics breastfeeding a baby, not too hard, and stimulates the flow of milk. The
pumping mode also mimics baby sucking, but is stronger than the first mode, more even and with great efficiency.

"+" and "-" buttons. They are a total of 9.

levels. They are a total of 9.

"-" buttons.
D. Memory:
Turn off the pumping mechanism and automatically will be remembered the last level of massage that you used. Even if
you have used the suction function, right before turning off the mechanism. When you turn on the mechanism again, the
last saved massage level will automatically switch on.
•On average, you have to pump for 10-15 minutes to drain 180 ml of milk. Keep in mind that the amount of milk varies
from woman to woman.
•Do not overfill the milk bottle to prevent milk from leaking out of the bottle.
•When you stop using the pump, switch it off from the ON / OFF button. Then remove the tube from the back of the
pump body. Remove the pump body from the bottle. Close the bottle with the ring and the pacifier and place a cap on
top to keep it sterile.
VII. WHEN TO USE YOUR BREAST PUMP
1. If it is possible. Only if you have sufficient milk secretion and normal time for breast feeding. The use of the electric
breast pump may begin usually two or four weeks after the birth of your baby.
2. The electric pump is an apparatus, which helps postpartum women to ease the pain and to extend the breastfeeding
time. It uses the premise that there is sufficient milk and smooth mammary gland. For some women, which are mothers
for the first time, the mammary gland usually is not smooth enough. A reason sometimes can be the congenital nipple
inversion or milk water shortage. So, we suggest you before purchasing and using the pump, to consult with a doctor who
could confirm that your mammary gland is smooth and that the breast milk is in normal condition. Do not buy and use the
pump only as a device to unblock your milk ducts.
VIII. HINTS
1. It takes practice in order to use the breast pump the best possible way. So it will take you at least several attempts
before starting successfully to use the electric breast pump.
Choose a quiet time to use the pump – time, when no one will disturb you.
2. Sit in a comfortable chair, in a perpendicular position to the ground. Please, put a comfortable cushion behind your
back before you start using the breast pump. Take a glass of water and place it near you, because you may feel thirsty
during the pumping process.
3. Place a warm cloth on your breasts for a few minutes before starting to express the milk as this may facilitate the
process and relieve the tension in the breasts.
4. Warmth and relaxation can help for the easier pumping of the breast milk, so before using the pump, you might like to
take a bath or a shower.
5. Try expressing from one breast while your baby is feeding from the other, or continue expressing just after the feed.
6. Repositioning the pump on your breast from time to time can help stimulate the secretion. Practice in order to find the
best pumping technique for you. If the process is causing you breast pain, stop immediately and consult with a doctor at
once.
