3. Before using Freemie
Practice pouring water from Freemie Cups into a
storage bottle or bag before trying with pumped
milk to help ensure successful transfers.
Bra fit is critical for proper use.
Before choosing a bra, pump with the Freemie using your hands to hold
the Cups in place.
To achieve the same pressure and sensation with the Freemie Cups in
your bra, it may be necessary to adjust your bra or try different bras to
find the best fit for you. A sports bra or stretchy nursing bra works well for
some women.
Freemie Cups can be used discreetly with proper wardrobe planning.
Loose clothing with easy access and scarves will be most discreet. Before
first use in public, put water in the Cups and practice placement and
removal of the Cups in your bra. This exercise will help in determining
wardrobe requirements.
4. Freemie position and placement
®
Place Freemie Cup inside your
bra with tubing facing upright
in the 12 o'clock position.
Freemie Breast Funnel should be centered over
the nipple.
Pump with Freemie Cups in an upright position, such as
sitting or standing
You may pump in any of these positions. The position of the cups
relative to the horizon is important, as your milk needs to flow
downhill in the funnel.
Optimal
Note: Depending on the shape and orientation of your breasts, you may be able to
comfortably pump in a wide variety of positions.
5. Transfer milk from Freemie
• Turn off pump, remove tubing from Freemie Cups.
• Carefully remove Freemie Cups from your bra.
Handle cups with care. Milk pours out from pour spout. Placement at any
other position may cause milk to flow into the tubing or leak out of cups.
Transfer milk to storage container or bottle after pumping. Pour quickly
with breast funnel up.
Handwash all components that come into contact with breast milk in hot
soapy water, then rinse thoroughly.
Leave parts disassembled until ready for next use.
