Assembling the breast pump

Note: Make sure you have cleaned and disinfected all parts of the breast pump. Wash your
hands thoroughly before you handle cleaned parts.
Warning: Be careful, the cleaned parts may still be hot. Only start assembling the
breast pump when cleaned parts have cooled down.
Tip: You may find it easier to assemble the breast pump while it is wet.
1 Insert the white valve into the pump body from underneath. Push the valve in as far as
possible (Fig. 2).
2 Screw the pump body clockwise onto the bottle or storage cup until it is securely fixed (Fig. 3).
Note: If you use a storage cup, you have to screw the adapter ring onto the storage cup first.
3 Insert the silicone diaphragm into the pump body from above. Make sure it fits securely
around the rim by pressing down with your fingers to ensure a perfect seal (Fig. 4).
4 Attach the handle onto the diaphragm with stem by hooking the hole in the handle over the
end of the stem. Push down the handle onto the pump body until it clicks into place (Fig. 5).
5 Place the massage cushion into the funnel-shaped section of the pump body (Fig. 6). Push
in the inner part of the massage cushion as far as possible and make sure that it is perfectly
sealed all around the rim of the pump body (Fig. 7). Press in between the petals to remove
any trapped air (Fig. 8).
Note: Place the cover over the massage cushion to keep the breast pump clean while you
prepare for expressing.
Warning: Always use the breast pump with a massage cushion.

Using the breast pump

When to express milk

If breastfeeding goes well, it is advisable (unless advised otherwise by your healthcare
professional/breastfeeding advisor) to wait until your milk supply and breastfeeding schedule
are established (normally at least 2 to 4 weeks after giving birth) before you start expressing.
Exceptions:
-
If breastfeeding does not go well immediately, expressing regularly can help to establish and
maintain your milk supply.
-
If you are expressing milk for your baby to be given in hospital.
-
If your breasts are engorged (painful or swollen), you can express a small amount of milk
before or between feeds to ease the pain and to help your baby latch on more easily.
-
If you have sore or cracked nipples, you may wish to express your milk until they are healed.
-
If you are separated from your baby and wish to continue to breastfeed when you are
reunited, you should express your milk regularly to stimulate your milk supply.
