HELPFUL ADVICE

• There should be no pain using your breast pump. If you feel pain, try using the pump more gently. Then examine your breasts. If there are
  any red or hot areas contact your breastfeeding advisor as soon as possible.

• Suction onto the breast can be broken by inserting your finger between the breast and the horn.

• Do not continue to use the pump once your milk has stopped flowing.

• Remember you are only trying to express milk from just behind the nipple – strong suction is not necessary.

• The best time to use your breast pump is after the first feed of the day (unless otherwise advised by your breastfeeding advisor).

• Be comfortable and relax, eg. Watch the TV or have your favorite music playing.

• Wash all breastfeeding equipment after use and before sterilization.

• Do not place furniture or other obstructions on the adapter cords and be sure to position them so that nobody can trip over them.

• Keep adapter cords away from hot surfaces such as radiators and central heating pipes.

• Always position the adapter and cord well out of reach of your baby and any young children. Be careful not to position the adapter where a child might try to step on it.

• Never use the Tommee Tippee breast pump adapter with any other equipment. Nor should you use any other adapters with your Tommee Tippee breast pump.

• The adapter converts your AC power to a safe low DC voltage.

TROUBLESHOOTING

QUICK START GUIDE

STORAGE OF BREAST MILK

a. Refrigerate expressed milk immediately. If you express more than once a day, you can add the amounts so long as you put it back in the refrigerator each time.
b. Store milk in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, or in the freezer for 3 months.
c. You will notice that stored milk separates out into layers. Shake to remix thoroughly before feeding.
d. When freezing milk, allow space at the top of the bottle for expansion. It is easiest to freeze milk in individual feed quantities of 60-125ml (2-4ozs)
e. Thaw frozen milk in the refrigerator or by standing the bottle in warm water until it has reached body temperature.
f. If you want to take expressed milk with you when you are out, make sure it stays cold or frozen until needed.

USING MILK PROTECTION PODS AS A SIPPY CUP

1. If milk has been chilled, remove lid and place in warm water to heat to temperature required. Always check food temperature before feeding. Sit baby upright.
2. Hold cup up to baby’s mouth and gently tip to allow baby to sip from cup.

FOR YOUR CHILD’S SAFETY AND HEALTH
WARNING!
Always use this product with adult supervision. Do not leave baby alone with drinking equipment due to the risk of choking, baby falling or if the product has disassembled.
Never use feeding nipples as a pacifier. Continuous and prolonged sucking of fluids will cause tooth decay.
Tooth decay in young children can occur even when non-sweetened fluids are used. This can occur if the baby is allowed to use the bottle for long periods through the day and particularly through the night, when saliva flow is reduced or if it is used as a pacifier.
Always check food temperature before feeding. Do not heat in a microwave. Always stir heated food to ensure even heat distribution and test the temperature before serving. For your child’s safety – Always check food temperature before feeding by testing on a sensitive part of your skin. For example on the inside of your wrist.When making up a feed follow the formula milk manufacturer’s instructions and allow the freshly boiled water to cool before pouring it into the bottle.
CLEANING

• Before first use, clean the product.
• Clean before each use.
• Always was the product immediately after use.
• Wash in hot soapy water and rinse in clean water or use a sterilizer after washing.
• Do not clean with solvents or harsh chemicals.
• Top-rack dishwasher safe.
• Do not allow product to come into contact with oil based foods (e.g. oil/tomato based sauces) as staining will occur.
• Do not turn the nipple inside out for cleaning. Damage could result.
• Do not use a bottle brush. Only the nipple and spout cleaner of the closer nature Bottle & Nipple Brush is suitable.

TAKE EXTRA CARE WHEN CLEANING THE SENSITIVE ANTI-COLIC NIPPLE VALVE

In order to ensure optimum venting the nipple valve is manufactured using a thinner silicone than the nipple itself and therefore care needs to be taken during cleaning to ensure no damage is caused. Do not use a bottle brush or any other implement to clean the anti-colic valve as this may split and damage it. However, the performance of the nipple may be affected if the anti-colic valve is not cleaned thoroughly after each use. Ensure valve is flushed with warm water during cleaning.

STERILIZING

Before first use place in boiling water for 5 minutes. This is to ensure hygiene. Suitable for steam sterilization.

• After each use disassemble all parts of the bottle.
• Wash thoroughly with hot soapy water.
• Rinse all components using freshwater.
• After rinsing, re-assemble the nipple and screw ring.
• Place all components including the nipple and screw ring assembly in the sterilizer. The closer to nature microwave or electric sterilizer are suitable. After sterilization, the nipple can then be picked up using the screw ring as normal.
  

ASSEMBLY OF YOUR NIPPLE AND SCREW RING

• Due to the larger size of Tommee Tippee’s nipple and screw ring, care needs to be taken during assembly to ensure that the nipple is in the correct position (shown below).
• The best method of assembly of the nipple and screw ring is to carefully pull the nipple through the ring in different directions to ensure the silicone lip fully clips’ over the edge of the screw ring. The area where the nipple and screw ring meet should be flush.

**STORAGE AND USE

**

Inspect before each use and pull the feeding nipple in all directions. Throw away at the first signs of damage or weakness. Do not leave a feeding nipple in direct sunlight or heat, or leave in disinfectant (“sterilizing solution”) for longer than recommended, as this may weaken the nipple. Do not store with or allow to come into contact with solvents or harsh chemicals. Not suitable for use in a grill or a microwave oven with the grill feature switched on. Keep all components not in use out of reach of children. For safety and hygiene reasons it is recommended the feeding nipple is replaced at least every 2 months. Do not heat in a microwave. This product is for home use, and is not suitable for use in the presence of a FLAMMABLE ANAESTHETIC MIXTURE WITH AIR or WITH OXYGEN OR NITROUS OXIDE.
