•  Unless you’ve been told 

otherwise, the best time to try 

your breast pump for the first 

time is after your baby’s first feed 

of the day.

•  Make sure you’re in a comfortable 

position and try to relax. 

•  You’re not trying to suck milk 

out. It comes from just behind 

your nipple. Start with the mode 

and power that feels most 

comfortable and allows you to 

express your milk.

•  Using your breast pump 

shouldn’t hurt. If it does, try a 

gentler setting. Then check your 

breasts. If you have any red or 

hot areas, stop using the breast 

pump and get in touch with your 

breastfeeding advisor as soon  

as possible.

Advice and FAQs

•  Every mum is different. You 

may only produce a little milk, 

or flow freely. You may produce 

more milk at different times of 

the day (morning or evening) or 

different volumes from one breast 

to another. The Tommee Tippee 

electric breast pump allows you 

to choose different settings to 

suit you at different times.

•  Don’t continue using the pump 

once your milk has stopped 

coming. Give your breasts a 

break.

Get comfortable with your breast pump

•  Don’t place furniture or other 

obstructions on the USB cable or 

air tubes, and make sure no one 

can step on or trip over them. 

Keep them well out of reach 

of your baby and any young 

children.

FAQs

Help – there’s no or very little suction. 

What can I do?

It’s most likely that there’s some air 

getting in somewhere, which means the 

pump won’t work properly.
•  Check that the air tubes are 

connected securely at both ends and 

there are no kinks in them.

•  Make sure that the soft silicone cup 

is securely attached to the horn at 

the top and bottom and forms a 

comfortable seal around your breast. 

Adjust your position if you need to.

•  Check the duck-bill valve is clean and 

opens easily. Give it a gentle squeeze 

if it’s stuck.

•  Check the diaphragm and diaphragm 

cap are secure and there are no signs  

of damage.

Will milk get sucked into the power unit?

No. If you have fitted the diaphragm and 

cap properly, each air tube and pump 

are separated from your milk and can’t 

come into contact with the power unit. 

It’s what’s known as a closed pump.

Help, the pump is making a funny sound

Check if you have selected single or 

double mode. And that you have the 

air tube/s connected correctly. If you 

are using a single pump and have the 

double mode selected (shown by the 

double circle lit up on the LED display), 

or have a single air tube attached to 

the wrong connector, the pump will run 

continuously, and make a noise when 

it’s trying to provide suction to the 

unattached pump handset. Choose the 

correct mode and connection for single 

or double pumping.

Why do I have to use a Tommee Tippee 

bottle?
