Tips and advice for using the breast pump

If you feel an unpleasant pressure, lower the expression intensity .
■
You can express milk first from one breast and then continue expressing milk from the other breast .
■
If you are not successful expressing any milk within the time interval of approx . 5 minutes, stop the breast
pump . First try relaxing for a while and warm the breasts up in a warm shower . Then try again to express the
milk or postpone it to a later time when more milk has been created .
■
Usually, 10 minutes should be sufficient to express the milk . This time is only indicative and may vary from
person to person .
Storing and heating up breast milk
■
Only breast milk collected using a clean and sterilised breast pump is suitable for storage . Store the milk
in sterilised containers designed for storing breast milk or in special disposable breast milk storage bags .
■
To prevent the milk from leaking or absorbing other odours from an area in which it is stored, thoroughly
close containers or bags before placing them in the refrigerator or freezer .
■
Breast milk can be stored for up to 48 hours in a refrigerator (except for the door area) and up to 3 months
in a freezer at a temperature of -18 °C .
■
If you express the milk gradually and wish to mix the individual batches together into a single container and
freeze them, do so no later than within 24 hours . It is only possible to mix batches that are cooled to the
same temperature .
■
Mark the containers or bags that you place in the freezer with a date .
