2. Begin by gently squeezing the handle 5 or 6 times quite quickly, simulating
the rapid suckling you usually feel when your baby is first put to the
breast. Your milk will soon begin to flow and you can establish a slower,
comfortable pumping pattern. Many mothers find that holding down
the handle for 2 to 3 seconds at a time imitates the feeling of their baby
breastfeeding.
3. When you have established a comfortable pumping rhythm with at least
2 squeezes, simply press the control button on the handle, and the Twin
Electronic Breast Pump will automatically continue in the same way.
The light on the pump motor will turn from solid
GREEN
to flashing
GREEN
.
Your pattern will now be stored in the pump’s memory – even after the
pump has been switched off!
To double pump
Check that the pump is assembled exactly as described on page 11. When you’re
ready to double pump the second pump will already have learned your pumping
pattern, all you have to do is hold it against your other breast and create a seal,
just as you did with the controller pump. Or if you prefer you can start with
both pumps against your breasts.
To change your pumping rhythm
If at any time you want to change your pumping rhythm, press the control
button again and the pump will revert to manual fingertip control. The light
will turn back to solid
GREEN
. You can now pump manually until you are
comfortable again. Then press the control button again and the Twin Electronic
Breast Pump will continue your chosen rhythm.
To stop pumping
If at any time the suction becomes uncomfortable or if you want to stop
pumping, press the control button and break the seal between the breast and
the pump body with your finger. You can then turn the pump motor off.
To collect and store your milk
After you have expressed your milk, unscrew the pump body from the milk
container. If you’re using AVENT Breast Milk Containers, insert a sealing disc
into the screw ring (r) and twist it onto the milk container. If you’re using
VIA, unscrew the adaptor (x) and screw a lid (z) onto the cup (y).
