INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Congratulations on your decision to give your baby the best possible start in life by
breastfeeding. The multitude of health benefits for both you and your baby are well
documented. Although breastmilk is always best, providing breastmilk for your baby
when you have to be away isn’t always easy. It requires a special effort, and you
should be very proud of your commitment to provide your baby the perfect nutrition
for optimal growth and development. Our manual breast pump was designed to be
quick and easy for mothers who have to pump occasionally and who appreciate the
convenience of a manual pump.

Introducing the Lansinoh
®
Manual Breast Pump
The Lansinoh® Manual Breast Pump has been designed specifically with
the needs of breastfeeding mothers in mind. This breast pump has two
separate phases: Let-Down Phase and Expression Phase. You can easily
switch between the two phases by adjusting the position of the handle on
the stem. The Comfort-Fit™ breast cushion creates a seal providing reliable
suction resulting in comfortable and fast milk flow. The wide neck bottle is
interchangeable with the entire Lansinoh® pump range. The pump is easy to
assemble, easy to use and easy to clean.
Breastfeeding is best. Exclusive breastfeeding is recognised as the best choice for
your baby and provides all the nutrients your baby requires for the first 6 months of
life. Breastfeeding helps to develop a strong bond between mother and baby and
provides numerous long-term benefits for both.

2 Phase Technology
This breast pump has two separate phases, Let-Down Phase and Expression
Phase. You can easily switch between the two phases by adjusting the position
of the handle on the stem.
Let-Down Phase:
This phase gently stimulates the breast. It is designed to mimic the way a baby
feeds at the beginning of a feed. It is one of the features that encourages milk
let-down and encourages your milk to begin to flow. You can create gentle
suction pressure by setting the handle in the first (top) notch in the stem and
using quick pulses with the handle.
Expression Phase:
This phase allows you to express breastmilk from the breast. Switch to this
phase by setting the handle in the second (bottom) notch in the stem. To
get the strongest suction fully depress the handle. For less suction strength
depress the handle less.

Manual Breast Pump
Sterilising Before First Use
Always wash and dry hands thoroughly with soap and water before handling
the breast pump parts
Disassemble the breast pump and place parts into a large pan.
Cover the parts in water making sure there is room for all of the parts to float
freely in the pan.
Bring the water to the boil and boil for 5 minutes to sterilise.
Safely remove all parts from water immediately after boiling and completely
air dry all parts on a clean surface before assembly and use.
Before Each Pumping Session
Always wash and dry hands thoroughly with soap and water before handling
the breast pump.
Ensure that all of the parts are completely dry.
Visually inspect the individual components for cracks, chips, tears,
discoloration or deterioration. These may affect the functionality of the pump.
Cleaning After Each Pumping Session
Disassemble all parts and rinse with cold water immediately after use. Place
parts in a clean wash basin used only for breastmilk equipment cleaning and
hand wash all parts using warm soapy water. Use caution when cleaning the
small white valve. It is important for proper suction.
Rinse parts with running clean, warm water, or by submerging in fresh water
in a separate basin that is only used for cleaning breastmilk equipment.
Place parts in a pan and cover with water making sure there is room for all of
the parts to float freely in the pan.
Bring the water to a boil and boil for 5 minutes.
Safely remove all parts from water immediately after boiling and completely
air dry all parts on a clean surface before assembly and use.
Once parts are dry they can be stored in a clean plastic tub with a lid or in a
clean plastic zip lock bag.
Parts can be cleaned in a steam or microwave steriliser, or with sterilising
chemicals.
Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
