METHOD OF USE

1. Wash your hands and make sure your breasts are clean. Express some milk, in order to check if the milk ducts are blocked.

2. The pump must be sterilized and assembled.

3. Place your pump on your breast.

4. Make sure that the nipple is in the middle in order for the silicone massage pad to fit perfectly to your breast so as to create a perfect vacuum (do not let air in).

5. Start carefully pushing the handle downwards until you feel a slight suction. After that leave the handle to return to the starting position. Repeat this step a few times fast in order to stimulate the expression.

6. Establish a slower rhythm by pushing the handle downwards and keeping it pushed for at most 3 seconds, before leaving it to return to the initial position. Continue doing this until expressing. If your hand tires, try with the other one or leave the hand to relax onto your body and express from the other breast.

7. Make sure that the milk flows successfully and that the process of pumping does not make you uncomfortable.

8. It is not necessary to push the handle completely downwards, but only to this position in which you feel comfortable.

9. Do not worry if the milk doesn’t flow immediately, relax and continue pumping. If the process is causing you breast pains, stop immediately and consult with a doctor.
   If there is no result when pumping, do not continue! Try to use the pump at another time of the day

10. On average you should pump for 8 minutes in order to express 120 ml of milk. Keep in mind that the quantity of milk varies from woman to woman. If you find that you usually express more than 120 ml in the session, then you should use a larger bottle. Do not overfill the bottle, otherwise, the milk will leak outside it.

11. After stopping the expression, carefully take off the pump from your breast and unscrew the bottle with milk from the pump body. Clean the other used parts according to the instruction in the section “Cleaning and sterilizing”.

WHEN TO USE THE BREAST PUMP

1. If it is possible. Only if you have sufficient milk secretion and a normal time for breastfeeding. Usually, the use of the manual breast pump may begin two or four weeks after the birth of your baby. You must set a schedule for expressing breast milk and breastfeeding.
2. In the following cases you can always use your breast pump:
   • If you are expressing breast milk with which the baby is to be fed while being in the hospital.
   • If you have more breast milk, you can express some of it between meals in order to reduce the pain of the bulging breasts, and this way it is easier for the baby to suck.
   • If your nipples are painful or are cracking, you can express some milk for feeding until the nipples get better.
3. If you need to separate from your baby and hope to continue breastfeeding after the reunion, breast milk can be expressed periodically to maintain milk secretion.

HINTS

It takes practice in order to use the breast pump the best way possible. So, it will take you at least several attempts before you manage to use the manual breast pump successfully.

1. Choose a quiet time to use the pump – a time, when no one will disturb you. If you are working again, it may need to express milk in the breaks.
2. Sit in a comfortable chair, in a perpendicular position to the ground. Put a comfortable cushion behind your back before you start using the breast pump. The sitting position may help you to feel more comfortable when using the breast pump. Take a glass of water and place it near you, because you may feel thirsty during the pumping process.
3. Place a warm cloth on your breasts for a few minutes before starting to express the breast milk as this may make the process easier and relieve the tension in the breasts.
4. Warmth and relaxation help for the easier expression of the milk, so before using the breast pump, you can take a bath or a shower.
5. Try to breastfeed the baby on one of the breasts and at the same time use better stimulation of the secretion. Practice in order to find the best expression technic for you.
6. Changing the position of the breast pump on your breast from time to time may lead to better stimulation of the secretion. Practice finding the most appropriate one for your pumping technique. If the process is causing you breast pain, stop immediately and consult with a doctor at once.
7. Make sure that you have not clogged or covered the air outlet of the pump body.
8. Breast pump use errors:
   A manual breast pump is an appliance, which helps women after birth to calm the pain in their breasts and to prolong the breastfeeding time. It uses the premise that there is sufficient milk and a smooth mammary gland. For some women, which are mothers for the first time, the mammary gland usually is not smooth enough. A reason sometimes can be congenital nipple inversion or milk water shortage. So, we suggest you before purchasing and using the pump, consult with a doctor who could confirm that your mammary gland is smooth and that the breast milk is in normal condition. Do not buy and use the pump only as a device to unblock your milk ducts.

HOW TO STORE THE BREAST MILK

1. Only milk collected with a sterile pump should be stored for feeding your baby.
2. The breast milk can be stored in a bottle warmer by 40°C so that you can feed your baby within 4 hours.
3. When storing freshly expressed milk, please, seal the milk. The breast milk can be stored for 10 hours at a room temperature of 19 – 25°C.
4. The expressed milk can be stored in the fridge for a maximum of 48 hours (but not on the door of the fridge) or in the freezer for a maximum of 3 months. For this purpose, you use the breast milk storage bags “Cangaroo Care”.
5. The frozen milk must be placed in a fridge to thaw naturally. If you need it urgently you can put it in warm water and thaw it. After thawing it, the breast milk can be stored in a fridge for 24 hours.
6. NEVER REFREEZE THE BREAST MILK AGAIN.
7. You can warm up gradually the frozen breast milk in warm water or using a bottle warmer.
8. NEVER WARM UP THE BREAST MILK IN THE MICROWAVE, BECAUSE YOU CAN DESTROY THE VITAL NUTRIENTS AND ANTIBODIES. The uneven heating can lead to too hot areas of breast milk, which can cause burns to your baby’s upper digestive tract. Never place a frozen bottle with milk in boiling water, as this may cause the bottle to burst/break. Never pour boiling water directly into the feeding bottle. You should allow the water to cool for about 20 minutes before filling the bottle.

CLEAN AND STERILIZE THE MANUAL BREAST PUMP

Clean and sterilize Your manual breast pump before using it for the first time and after every usage following the listed instructions.

1. Disassemble completely the manual breast pump.
2. CAREFULLY take off and clean the silicone valve. If it gets damaged, the vacuum will not be able to be created and the milk will not be expressed.
3. Wash all the parts with a small amount of hot water and with a little bit of not aggressive detergent and wash them thoroughly. You can also wash the parts in the dishwasher only on the top rack.
4. In order to wash the valve, you can rub it gently between your fingers with some liquid detergent. Do not put any objects in the valve as this may lead to damage.
5. Sterilize all the parts in a steam sterilizer. For all breastfeeding moms, which breastfeed every 2 – 3 hours, we do not recommend to sterilize after each use. Excessive disinfection and cleansing can easily lead to premature aging and reduce the life of the breast pump. It is recommended to thoroughly clean the stains and sterilize them once a day.
6. IMPORTANT! If you use the breast pump as a device for storing breast milk, you will have to take care to disinfect of all the washable parts of the pump, otherwise, the milk may go bad, as it is a product difficult to store.

STORING THE BREAST MILK PUMP

• Keep the manual breast pump away from direct sunlight, as the continued exposure may cause discoloration.
• Store the manual breast pump and its accessories in a safe dry place, away from the reach of children.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

1. Lack of suction:

   • Check if you have put all the parts correctly and if the silicone valve is placed tightly to the pump body opening.
   • Make sure that the silicone massage pad is correctly placed and fits to the pump body and a perfect seal is created.

2. The breast milk cannot be expressed:

   • Please, make sure that the breast pump is correctly assembled and that vacuum is created.
   • Relax and try again.

3. Pain in the breast area when using the pump:

   • Stop using the manual breast and consult with Your professional advisor for breastfeeding. If the pump is not detaching easily from the breast, you can break the vacuum, by putting a finger between the breast and massaging pad or between the breast and the pump funnel.

4. The breast milk is leaking down the massage pad:

   • Take out, place, and reattach the massage pad, in order to make sure that it is firmly fixed to the central down part of the
     funnel.

   • Try to lean a little bit forward.

5. Cracking and discoloration of the pump/feeding bottle parts:

   • Avoid any contact with antibacterial detergents or such with abrasive parts as they may lead to damage to the plastic parts. The combination of detergents, cleansers, sterilizing solution, mild water, softened water and variable temperatures in specific cases may lead to cracking of the plastic. If this occurs, please, do not use the product. The pump body and the breast milk storage container are safe to be cleaned in the dishwasher, but the food, left on the rest of the dishes may cause their darkening. Follow the cleaning instructions exactly. Keep the product away from direct sunlight, as prolonged exposure may lead to discoloration of the plastic parts.

6. Lost or broken parts:

   • For spare parts, please, contact the authorized service center or the trade agent, from which you have bought the product. Do
     not use such which are not approved or not supplied by the manufacturer. Do not try to repair by yourself or modify the product, because this may endanger your health and the one of your child.
