3 Press the assembled pump body against your breast. Make sure that your
nipple is centered, so that the massage cushion creates an airtight seal.
4 Make sure that your nipple fits correctly in the massage cushion (see
image below). Not too tight, it is important that the nipple can move
freely, while expressing breast milk. The massage cushion should not be
too large, because this can cause pain or less effective expression.
If the cushion is not the right size for your nipples, you can purchase a
cushion of a different size separately. Two cushion sizes are available:
19.5mm and 25mm. You can find the size of the cushion on the cushion
itself (19.5 or 25).
5 Gently start to press down the handle until you feel the suction on your
breast. Then allow the handle to return to its resting position.
Note: You do not have to press down the handle fully, only as much as
is comfortable. Your milk will soon start flowing, even though you are not
using all the suction the pump can generate.
6 Repeat step 5 rapidly 5 or 6 times to initiate the 'let-down' reflex.
7 Adopt a slower rhythm by pressing down the handle and keeping it
pressed down for up to 3 seconds before you let it return to its resting
position. Continue in this way while your milk is flowing. If your hand
becomes tired, try to use the other hand to operate the breast pump or
rest your arm across your body to pump from the opposite breast.
Note: Do not worry if your milk does not flow immediately. Relax and
continue pumping. The first few times you use the breast pump, you may
need to use a higher suction mode to get your milk flowing.
