Operating the breast pump

1 Wash your hands thoroughly and make sure your breasts are clean.
2 Relax in a comfortable chair (you may wish to use cushions to support your back).
Make sure you have a glass of water nearby.
3 Press the assembled pump body against your breast. Make sure that your nipple is centered,
so that the massage cushion creates an airtight seal.
SCF334: The twin electric breast pump enables you to express milk from both breasts at the same
time. However, you can also use the appliance to express from one breast in just the same way.
4 Press the on/off button (Fig. 9).
The breast pump automatically starts up in stimulation mode and the on/off button and the
,
stimulation button light up.
You begin to feel the suction on your breast.
,
5 Once your milk starts flowing, you can adopt a slower rhythm by pressing the lowest suction
button (Fig. 10).
This button lights up instead of the stimulation button.
,
Note: Do not worry if your milk does not flow immediately. Relax and continue pumping. The first few
times you use the breast pump, you may need to use a higher suction mode to get your milk flowing.
6 Depending on your own personal comfort, you may wish to use a higher suction mode that
provides deeper suction. You can return to a lower suction mode, or switch off the breast
pump whenever you like by pressing the appropriate button (Fig. 11).
Note: You do not need to use all suction modes, only use the modes that are comfortable for you.
Always switch off the breast pump before you remove the pump body from your breast.
Do not continue pumping for more than 5 minutes at a time if you do not succeed in expressing
any milk. Try to express at another time during the day. If the process becomes very
uncomfortable or painful, stop using the pump and consult your breastfeeding advisor.
7 On average, you need to pump for 10 minutes to express 60-125ml (2-4fl oz) of breast milk
from one breast. However, this is just an indication and varies from woman to woman.
Note: If you regularly express more than 125ml per session, you can use a 260ml/9fl oz Philips AVENT
bottle to prevent overfilling and spillage.
8 When you have finished expressing, switch off the breast pump and carefully remove the
pump body from your breast.
9 Unscrew the bottle from the pump body ready for feeding/storage. Clean the other used
parts of the breast pump according to the instructions in chapter 'Cleaning and sterilising'.
10 Unplug the motor unit. For easy storage, wrap the silicone tube around the motor unit and
clip the cap onto the tube (Fig. 12).
