Pumping Tips:
The most important and successful part of pump is the letdown reflex.
The letdown reflex is when your milk begins to flow freely.
● Try relaxing with a warm, wet compress on your breasts.
● Drink plenty of fluids.
● Avoid outside distractions.
● Visualize yourself happy, well-rested and successful at pumping.
● Sometimes a light circular massaging of the breasts prior to and/or during a
pumping session will help your letdown
reflex start/continue.
● Go to a non-stressful environment.
● Use a comfortable chair that gives lower back support with or without a
footstool. After all, you're the only who has to
be comfortable.
Depending on your health and milk production condition, you may be able to
achieve more than one letdown in one pumping session. Most mothers have
more than one letdown while breastfeeding and don't even notice the change. To
achieve multiple letdowns; which mimics the natural reflex found in breastfeeding,
you can switch back and forth between the Swift Expression and Natural
Expression just by pressing the Power/Mode Button.
Remember that successful pumping is a learned skill. Don't get discouraged, and
keep working at it to obtain the best results. Breastmilk is produced on a supply-
and-demand basis; expressing your breastmilk regularly stimulates and maintains
your supply.
If it feels uncomfortable or painful on your breasts while using the pump, try
decreasing the suction level by rolling the Vacuum Adjusting Wheel down (-). You
may also try pumping with/without the Silicone Cushion. If these tips do not help,
turn the product off and remove the pump from your breasts for a few minutes.
