7.1 Tips to ensure a better milk flow

• Choose a location to use the pump where you can relax.
• Choose a time to use the pump when you can relax.
• Having your child nearby or looking at a picture of your child can have a positive effect on the milk flow.
• If feeding your child using one breast, use the breast pump on the other breast at the same time.
• Warmth and relaxation encourage milk flow. Use the breast pump after having a shower or bath.
• If your breasts are swollen or sore, place a warm towel on them for a few minutes. This will improve the
milk flow.
• If the milk does not start to flow from your breasts immediately, try to relax and then try again a few min-
utes later.
• If the breast pump still does not extract any milk from your breasts after five minutes, stop using it and
try again later.
• If you experience any sharp pains when using the breast pump, consult a doctor.

7.2 Operating the breast pump

a) Preparation for two-sided pumping:
1. Before using the breast pump, wash your hands and breasts
thoroughly.
2. The breast pump and the 2 small bottles must be connected
to the silicone tube for two-sided pumping.
3. Sit with your upper body lent forwards slightly. You can support
your back better by using a pillow.
4. Place the breast shields with silicone cushion gently on the
breast. Make sure that the nipples are completely enclosed and
there are no air pockets. To ensure proper function, the breast
shields must be drawn firmly onto the breasts.
