6 Hints to help
you succeed
The single electric breast pump is
easy to use. Take some practice, and
you will soon get used to expressing
milk.
Choose a time when you are not
•
rushed nor interrupted easily.
Having your baby or a photograph
•
of your baby nearby can help
encourage your milk to flow.
Before expressing milk, place a
•
warm towel onto your breast, and
lightly massage for a few minutes.
This encourages milk flow, and ease
the pain of your breast.
Warmth and relaxation can
•
encourage milk flow. Try expressing
after a warm bath or shower.
Try expressing from one breast
•
while your baby is feeding from the
other, or continue expressing just
after a feed.
Repositioning the pump on the
•
breast from time to time can help
stimulate your milk flow.
Tip
Practice with your pump to find
•
the best pumping techniques
for you. If the process becomes
painful, stop and consult your
breast feeding advisor.
