d. Turning it on
Once fully assembled, press the power button
the 'Quick Connection Guide' for instructions on how to pair your pump to the
Tommee Tippee app.
e. Aligning your nipple
Correct nipple alignment is a really key factor in
milk production, much like a deep latch in breast
feeding. Your new pump includes a unique nipple
alignment guiding light that makes it easy to align
your nipple, even in low-light. Turn your pump on
and direct the red spotlight towards your nipple.
Hold your breast with your other hand and move
the pump closer to your nipple, ensuring the
centre of the spotlight stays in the centre of
your nipple until the pump is in place.
f. Starting your session
Once the pump is turned on and in position, press play/pause to start pumping.
If you need to pause pumping at any point, press play/pause. For a more discreet
and convenient user experience, use your Tommee Tippee app to play/pause.
g. Choosing your intensity and mode
Your wearable breast pump offers two modes – massage
and expression. We know every mum and every day
is different so, in the app, you can move between modes
with the tap of a button at any point during your session.
Please note, it can take time for the pressure to drop
when going down levels.
Massage mode (also known as stimulation mode) uses a
higher frequency, lower intensity suction which mimics
how your baby first stimulates the breast to encourage
milk flow.
Expression mode uses slower sucks to draw your milk
out and into the collector bottles effectively. Some prefer
to alternate, others find one setting and stick with it. In
expression mode, there are 8 intensity settings. Choose
a level that is comfortable for you. Remember this may
well change per session and even per breast. Remember
a higher intensity setting does not always mean a higher
volume of milk. Your comfort is more important.

In the app, you can switch
between massage and
expression mode whenever
you like because every person
and every session is different.
h. Automatic functions
Your wearable breast pump will automatically pause when the bottle is full. If you
want to continue to pump, you will need to submit the session so it is registered
in the analysis page in your app before you empty the collector and start a new
session. As a safety feature, we've also limited session duration to 30 minutes, at
the end of which the pump will pause and you will be unable to restart. If you do
want to continue, you will need to start a new session. The pump will also pause
if you lean too far over in order to reduce the risk of leaking. This is unlikely to
occur in general use but if it does, simply sit/stand back up straight and resume
pumping. The lights on the pump (nipple alignment spotlight and button lights)
will automatically turn off after 1 minute during use for discretion. Press any button
to re-illuminate the lights.
i. Ending your session
Once you have finished your session, pause and finish the cycle and follow
instructions in the app to collect every last drop, leaning forward for a moment
before using your finger to break the seal between pump and breast. At this
stage you can also manually alter the volume if you find the amount shown in
the app doesn't quite match up to what's in the collector bottle. Foremilk has a
lighter consistency than hindmilk which can impact the accuracy of the reading.
Once the session has been added to the analysis page, you can simply turn the
pump off, wash and disinfect the parts that require it and charge the pump body
as required. When you're ready to remove the collector bottle, simply press the
large button at the front of the pump to release the latch that holds the bottle
in place.
j. Direct-to-feed and storage
To make it even easier to feed breast milk once you've
expressed, the milk collector is compatible with our
nipples / teats so you can use like a bottle. Simply assemble
the nipple / teat to the screw ring, attach to the milk
collector and you're ready to feed.
To store, simply remove the collector bottle sub-assembly
from the pump and put in the fridge or freezer as preferred.
If freezing, ensure the bottle isn't over-filled and does not
exceed the maximum capacity (5 fl oz).
Alternatively, store your breastmilk in line with
healthcare guidelines.
