Please remember that, should the process become very painful or
uncomfortable, you should stop using the pump and consult your health
professional or breastfeeding advisor.

Whilst some women may prefer to use the pump without the Let-down
Massage Cushion, extensive trials show that, in most cases, the massaging
effect of the petals flexing in and out around the areola stimulates
the let-down reflex and allows you to express more milk, faster.

On average you will need to pump for 10 minutes to express 60-125ml
or 2-4oz. However, this is just a guide and varies from woman to
woman. If you find that you regularly express more than 125ml/4oz per
session, please use a 260ml/9oz Airflex Bottle or 240ml/8oz VIA Cup.
Do not overfill Airflex Feeding Bottles or VIA Cups and keep upright,
otherwise milk may leak from below the pump body.
10. Storing your breast milk
•
Breast milk can be stored in
the fridge or freezer in either
sterile breast milk containers
(125ml/4oz or 260ml/9oz bottles
fitted with sealing discs) or in
VIA Cups with lids.
•
Only milk collected with a sterile
pump should be stored to be fed to your baby.
•
Expressed milk should be refrigerated immediately.
•
Expressed breast milk can be stored in the refrigerator for up to
48 hours (not in the door) or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
•
If you are storing milk in the fridge to add to during the day, only add
milk which has been expressed into a sterile container. Milk can only
be kept like this for a maximum of 48 hours (from first expression) after
which it must be used immediately or frozen for future use.
•
For products other than breast milk make feeds up fresh when needed,
following the manufacturer's instructions.
Storing your milk in the fridge
If your expressed breast milk will be fed to your baby within 48 hours,
it can be stored in the fridge (not in the door) in an assembled Airflex
