6.2 Cleaning and sterilising the breast pump

WARNING
Clean and sterilise the separate parts of the breast pump that come into direct contact with the
breast milk (except for the motor unit and silicone tube) individually before the first use and before
each use. Never sterilise the motor unit.
To sterilise / clean the breast pump correctly, proceed as follows:
1. Unscrew the pump attachment from the bottle.
2. Remove the silicone tube from the pump attachment and the motor unit.
3. Seperate the pump attachment from silicon membrane and silicone valve.
4. Sterilise the bottle and pump attachment (with silicone membrane and silicone valve) for five minutes in boil-
ing water or using a steam steriliser. Do not use the breast pump until all individual parts are completely dry.
Do not use any antibacterial cleaning products, since these may damage the plastic on the breast pump.
5. Clean the motor unit carefully using a slightly damp cloth only. Do not use any cleaning agents or sol-
vents. Under no circumstances should you hold the motor unit under water, as this can cause liquid to
enter and damage the breast pump. If you do not intend to use the breast pump for a prolonged period
of time, remove the batteries.

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.
