Add Cups to Pump

Test Before Use

Prior to placing Cups in your bra:

1. Turn on the pump.
2. Set the pump to the strongest setting.
3. Barrier inside the Cup collapses and releases when the assembly is correct. If the Barrier does not move, reassemble the Cups and check all Tubing connections.

Ready to Pump

Place Cups in your bra:

1. Bra fit is critical for proper use.
   Enough pressure is needed to seal the Flange against the breast while too much pressure may cause low output.

2. Before choosing a bra, pump by holding the Cups in place with your hands.
   Then try several of your bras to find one that most closely holds the Cups like your hands.

3. It may be necessary to adjust your bra to find the best fit for you. A sports bra or stretchy nursing bra can work well.

After Pumping

1. Turn the pump off.
2. Pull Tubing from the tops of the Cups to disconnect.
3. Carefully remove Cups from your bra. Cups may be set flat before transferring milk to storage. When set flat, Cups may gently rock and then naturally balance.

Milk Transfer

Pour milk quickly and confidently into a storage bag or bottle of your choice.

Pumping Positions
A range of pumping positions are possible with Freemie. Mind the pour spout!

Good Pumping Positions

Advanced Technique: Requires re-orientation of cups inside the bra.

Poor Pumping Positions

Freedom of movement with Freemie depends on:

• How Cups are oriented on your breasts
• Security of Cups in your bra
• Amount of milk in Cups
• How much Cups are jostled

Finding Your Best Flange Fit

Finding the best Breast Flange fit cannot simply be done by measuring your nipples because some nipples stretch more than others under suction. You can estimate your size, but some trial and error may be needed for you to optimize your comfort and milk output.
Experiment to find the right fit and keep in mind:

• You may need a different size than the Flanges provided.
• You may need a different size for each nipple because no one is perfectly symmetrical.
• You may prefer higher suction, making Flange comfort crucial.
• Your nipple may expand in diameter and length while pumping and may change over time, so keep all of your sizes.

Comfort is key!
It may take a few tries to find what works.

Choosing Another Size
Use a ruler or coin diameters to estimate your erect nipple base size, and review the Flange fit details below.
Choose the nearest size Flanges or Fitmie Inserts that are slightly larger than your nipples.
SlimFit Fitmie sizes (15mm – 28mm) are available at www.freemie.com.

The flange is too small
for the nipple to move freely in and out of Flange. It May cause rubbing or chafing.| The flange is too big
allowing too much breast and areola tissue to be drawn into Flange. It May cause bruising.| The flange is the correct size
With properly fitted Flanges the nipple moves in
and out of the Flange freely.

Important: Your bra needs to apply enough pressure to create a good seal on your skin so that air does not leak in and reduce suction. Too much pressure can pinch or obstruct ducts and reduce your milk output.
