4. SECURE PUMP
a. Once Willow is latched and in
Stimulation phase, secure Pump
in place by hooking nursing bra
flap over Pump, taking care to
keep Pump pressed firmly
against breast. If necessary,
adjust bra strap to keep
Pump securely in place.
b. Now, lean back to encourage
let-down. Once you
reach Expression Phase,
move as you wish.
If you are still in Stimulation Phase after 5-7 minutes...
– Make sure your bra is keeping Willow pressed securely against your breast,
especially at the top of the Pump.
– Press Pump/Pause button, break latch and check alignment
(See Section 7B. PUMPING - 2. Alignment).
