Tailor for comfort 

Within each pumping style, there are eight levels of suction to choose from:

1.

  Adjust for higher suction by pressing the        suction level increase control button.

2.

  Adjust for lower suction by pressing the        suction level decrease control button.

3.

  The current suction level will be indicated by the number of dark bars on suction level 

indicator.

5.5 Completing Your Pumping Session

1.

  When a pumping session is finished, turn the pump off with the on/off      

button.

2.

  After turning the pump off, the display will remain on for a few seconds. 

3.

  Make sure there is no suction on the nipple(s) before removing the breast flanges 

from the breast. If necessary, break the suction by inserting a finger between the

  breast flange and the breast. Once the suction is broken, the breast flange can 

be removed safely.

6. PUMPING TIPS

Pumping Tips

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, wet 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. Thinking of or looking at 

your baby, or a photo of your baby if you are apart, can also be helpful. Some moms 
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.

How Long To Pump

Double pumping, compared to single pumping, will reduce the time you spend 
expressing your milk. Breastmilk is produced on a supply and demand basis. 
Expressing your breastmilk regularly will stimulate your body and help you maintain 
your milk supply. Just like with breastfeeding, it is not necessary to time your pumping 
sessions. As you get more experienced with pumping, you will get a better sense of 
the time it takes for your body to express your milk using a breast pump. If you have 
any breastfeeding or breastpump related questions, consult with an International 

Board  Certified  Lactation  Consultant  (IBCLC),  breastfeeding  counselor,  or  other 

healthcare provider such as your primary physician.

Pumping and Feeding Tips

●

   You may pump one breast while nursing the baby on the other. This allows you

  to maximize pumping effectiveness using the let-down reflex stimulated by your

  baby’s sucking.

●

   Always test the temperature of any liquid before feeding your baby.

●

   Do not let a child take a bottle to bed or self-feed for long periods.

●

   To prevent possible choking hazard, test strength of the nipple by pulling

  on the bulb portion. Discontinue use if any tear or crack appears.

PLEASE NOTE:

 The LCD display light will automatically switch off if no control

buttons are pressed for 20 seconds in order to save power. If the pump unit is

left on and unattended for more than 60 minutes, the control system will 

automatically  power  off.  To  turn  unit  back  on,  hold  the  power-on  button  for 

several seconds.

NOTE:

 If at any time the suction on your breast reaches uncomfortable levels, 

reduce the suction level by pressing the        button on the left side of the LCD 

screen or disconnect the tubing from its receptacle on the electric pump.
