VII. WHEN TO USE YOUR BREAST PUMP
1. If it is possible. There should be a period of breastmilk secretion and breastfeeding before each use of the pump.
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
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.
1. 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.
