Milk Collection Shells

The Medela Milk Collection Shells collect leaking milk and are comfortable to wear. The anatomical shape and the skin-friendly, flexible material mean that they are pleasant and
discrete to wear.

Indication
– During breastfeeding, when the milk flow starts in the other breast
– When too much milk leaks
Avoid wearing at night to prevent tender spots.

Assembly and Use
Put the silicone membrane on the shell. Be sure it snaps on all the way around. Place the assembled milk collection shell inside your bra with the opening in the silicone membrane centered over your nipple. We recommend wearing a nursing bra; nursing bras are roomier and the milk collection shell applies less pressure on the breast. Make
sure that the spout is facing upwards. When removing the shell, lean forward somewhat. The collected milk can then be poured into a different container.
Caution: Only milk collected during breastfeeding should be saved using a sterile container. If the milk is not fed to the baby right away, immediately place the container into the refrigerator and use it within 24 hours. To keep moisture from damaging the nipples, we recommend removing the shells every 2–3 hours and letting the breast air dry.

Cleaning Instructions
Before first use and subsequently once daily
Place the separated parts in a small pot filled with cold water. Dis tilled water is recommended – if tap water is used, a little citric acid may be added to the water to avoid a build-up of limescale. Bring the water to a boil and allow it to continue boiling for approximately 5 minutes. Drain off the water and rinse the parts thoroughly. Place the parts on a clean cloth to dry.

After each use
Separate the parts. Shells and membranes should be washed with a mild cleaning solution, rinsed thoroughly in cold water and dried on a clean cloth.

Note
Shells and membranes can be put in a dishwasher or autoclave.

Material
Shell: Polypropylene
Silicone membrane: Silicone

Disposal
According to local regulations.

We recommend the Medela Nipple Formers for treating flat or inverted nipples.
Sore and cracked nipples can be protected from further irritation by using the Medela Breast shells.
