2) Make sure you have sterilised and carefully assembled your pump
exactly as shown in sections 3 and 6.
3) Consult the 'Hints to help you succeed' section.
4) Relax in a comfortable chair, leaning slightly forward (use cushions
to support your back). Make sure you have a glass of water nearby.
5) Press the funnel and let-down massage cushion of the pump firmly
against your breast, making sure that no air can escape – otherwise
there will be no suction.
6) As you gently push down on the pump handle, you will feel the
suction on your breast. You don't need to depress the handle fully to
create a vacuum – only as much as is comfortable. Your milk will soon
ral
start flowing even though you may not use all the suction the pump
can generate.
7) Begin by pumping 5-6 times rapidly to initiate let-down. Then, hold
the handle down for 2-3 seconds, and allow it to return to its resting
place. These 2-3 second cycles imitate your baby's natural suckling
pattern and allow the milk to flow into the VIA Cup between strokes.
8) Milk should begin to flow after the first few strokes. Don't worry if
your milk does not flow immediately. Relax and continue pumping.
