the pump as the On/Off button. Electrical safety can
only be achieved when the breast pump is connected
to the power bank specified power supply. (See
“Technical Data” section)
We recommend using your pump with the AC adapter provided.
2.5 Breast Cushion Sizing
Nipple
Areola
When you are pumping only your
nipple and a small amount of your
areola should be pulled into the
breast cushion tunnel. If a large
amount of areola is being pulled
into the tunnel, this indicates that
the breast cushion is too large.
You need a smaller size.
When you are pumping your nipple should move in and
out of the tunnel freely. If you notice that your nipple is
touching or rubbing along the sides of the tunnel, this
indicates that the breast cushion is too small. You need a
larger size.
The breast cushion you received with the pump is 25mm.
A 30.5mm ComfortFit® breast cushion is available for
purchase. Simply visit

2.6 Pumping Tips
Breastmilk is produced on a supply and demand basis.
Expressing your breastmilk regularly will stimulate your
body and help you maintain your milk supply. If you have
any breastfeeding or breast pump related questions,
consult an International Board Certified Lactation
Consultant (IBCLC), breastfeeding counselor, or other
healthcare provider such as your midwife or health visitor.
Top Tips for Pumping Sessions
•
Before a pumping session, make yourself comfortable
and ensure the breast pump is close to you.
•
Sit in an upright position, making sure your shoulders
and arms are well supported.
•
The most important part of successful pumping is the
ability to trigger the let‑down reflex. This is when your
milk begins to flow freely. Warm compresses applied
to the breasts and gentle, circular massaging of the
breasts prior to and/or during a pumping session can
help encourage this natural reflex. Heated Lansinoh®
Thera°Pearl® 3‑in‑1 Breast Therapy Packs fulfil this
function well.
•
If you and baby are apart, look at their pictures or
videos, or have something with your baby’s scent on it.
These cues will help to trigger let‑down.
•
If baby is with you, skin‑to‑skin contact and scent will
help to trigger let‑down. You may pump one breast
while nursing baby on the other. This allows you to
maximize pumping effectiveness by using the let‑down
reflex stimulated by your baby’s sucking.
•
Give yourself sufficient time to pump. Stress can
negatively impact milk production.
•
Stay hydrated; having a glass of water before and
during each session is important for milk production.
•
Many mums find that they have a high milk supply in
the morning after sleeping, so you may find it helpful
to try a morning pumping session.
•
Some mums can achieve more than one let‑down
during a pumping session. You may be able to achieve
a second by returning to the Let‑Down Phase by
pressing the Let‑Down/Expression toggle button.
•
Track the date, time, and duration of your feeding
and pumping sessions as well as the amount of milk
expressed from each breast. Keeping these records
can help you identify trends or patterns so you can
establish your optimal feeding and pumping routine. If
you’re having any difficulties, it can be helpful to share
this information with your healthcare professional.
•
You can save time and prevent messy milk transfers or
spills by pumping directly into Lansinoh® Breastmilk
Storage Bags. Just ensure that your Lansinoh®
Breastmilk Storage Bag has white and purple flowers
and a white line above the logo. If your bag does not
have this design, it is not compatible with pumping
directly into the bag. NOTE: Pumping directly into
bags requires two hands to safely remove milk storage
bags. Visit www.lansinoh.co.uk to learn more.
2.7 Troubleshooting
Issue
Solution
The pump

If you experience an interruption in the
