Double-pumping is recommended, as this can help to increase
and maintain milk production. 

Symphony PLUS contains two pumping programs:

 

EFFICIENCY

Symphony PLUS Pumping Programs

For mothers of term and preterm infants.

Quick start instructions

The Symphony PLUS breast pump, with its research-based
pumping programs, has been speci

fi

cally developed to support

mothers throughout their lactation journey, helping to initiate, 
build and maintain an adequate milk production.

1

The INITIATE program 

supports mothers to successfully 

initiate milk production. The program mimics the irregular 
and more rapid sucking and pausing pattern of a new born
infant in the 

fi

rst days of lactation.

 

 

2

The MAINTAIN program

 is designed to build and maintain 

an adequate milk production and optimize milk output after 
secretory activation (milk coming in) has occurred. 
The program, with its 2-Phase Expression technology, mimics 
an infant’s sucking pattern during established lactation.

Instructions for Use for more detailed information.

The INITIATE program

 

Use the INITIATE program directly after birth:

Once selected, the INITIATE program runs automatically 
for 15 minutes, with several pauses. It is important to 
complete the full program. At the end of the program 
the display shows “Program complete”. 
The pump switches off automatically.  

  

 

  

The MAINTAIN program

Use the MAINTAIN program after secretory activation 
(milk coming in) if:

The INITIATE Program has been successfully used 
as per above, 

OR

 

Breastfeeding has been established, 

OR

 

You are more than 

fi

ve days post birth.

Continue pumping until the breasts feel well drained 
and soft all over. Switch the pump off manually when 
the pumping session is 

fi

nished. On average, pumping 

sessions last approximately 15 minutes.
