Useful Tips

Read and observe the information and instructions provided in this operating manual.

The breast pump is intended to help you maintain a supply of breast milk for your child if your child is absent, you are suffering breast engorgement or have had a premature birth, for example.
The breast pump can alleviate symptoms of a possible breast engorgement and aid the healing process in the event of mastitis.

It is essential to consult your doctor or midwife in the case of any physical complaints or other discomfort following your pregnancy.

Express your breast milk during periods in which you are not in a hurry and will not be disturbed.
While expressing breast milk, liquids are drawn from your body. Therefore, drink a sufficient quantity of fluid before, during and after expressing breast milk.
Stimulate the let-down reflex, if necessary, by applying warmth (e.g. a heated cushion).
Do not worry if the flow of milk does not start immediately. Relax for a few minutes and then resume expressing (using the other breast, if necessary).

Hygiene

Hygiene is of particular importance with regard to the supply of breast milk to your child. Only when the breast pump has been thoroughly cleaned and sterilised can you be sure that the breast milk will be collected, stored and fed free of contamination.

It is particularly important to read and observe all the information in Cleaning and Sterilising the breast pump and in Recommendations on Storage of the breast milk.

Frequency of Expressing

Expressing breast milk can be completed on an individual basis and according to the purpose (e.g. in the event of breast engorgement).

After Breastfeeding

If you have just breastfed and no longer can or want to breastfeed directly from the breast, it is recommended to maintain your natural breastfeeding rhythm.

Without Prior Breastfeeding

If it is not possible to breastfeed your child directly, we recommend you express 6 - 8 times a day.

Milk Quantity

Your body automatically adapts the quantity of breast milk produced to the daily requirements. Therefore, do not worry if it takes a little longer for the breast milk to start flowing or the milk quantity appears low when you initially start to use the breast pump.

On average, it takes about 10 minutes to express 80 to 100ml breast milk.

This value only represents a guideline value and differs from woman to woman. Therefore, you should attempt to adapt the output of the breast pump, in steps, to your personal flow of milk.

Changing Breasts

We recommend using the breast pump alternately on both breasts.

i Since breast milk is produced independent of the breast from which you prefer to express or breastfeed, you can set-up and use the breast pump entirely according to your own "feeling of well-being".

Connect the hose (6) to the vacuum connection (22) in the pump unit.

The second vacuum connection is provided with a rubber plug. Do not remove the rubber plug, otherwise the breast pump cannot generate a vacuum.
Only use the second vacuum connection if you want to express breast milk from both breasts simultaneously, e.g. if you are the mother of twins.

We recommend Accessory Kit BS301. Simply contact our Service department.

Expressing Breast Milk

Connect one end of the microUSB cable (9) supplied to the microUSB connection (21) on the pump unit and the other end to a properly installed power socket. Use the power adapter plug (10) supplied.

Alternatively, you can use a USB port on a computer.

Position the breast shield (2) onto your breast so that the breast milk can flow into the feeding bottle.

Your teat should be in the middle of the breast shield (2).

Press the button (18). The breast pump generates a vacuum between the breast shield (2) and your breast.
As a result of the vacuum, your let-down reflex is stimulated and breast milk is expressed.

Refer to Useful Tips if it takes a little longer for the breast milk to start flowing or the milk quantity appears low when you initially start to use the breast pump.

Press the button (19) to increase the pump output in steps and button (17) to reduce the pump output in steps.
The output of the breast pump can be set to one of 9 settings. We recommend you always start expressing at the lowest setting and increase the output in steps according to your needs.
The breast pump is equipped with a Memory function. Press the button (20) when you want to use the current suction power setting the next time the breast pump is switched on.
Express breast milk for a maximum of 10 minutes on each breast.
Press the button (18). The breast pump is switched off.
Loosen the breast shield (2) from your breast. Use your finger as a lever, if necessary.

Refer to Recommendations on Storage if you cannot or do not want to feed the breast milk directly after expressing it.

Clean and sterilise all the parts which have come into contact with your breast or breast milk (refer to Cleaning and Sterilising the Breast Pump).

Feeding Expressed Breast Milk

Before starting to feed expressed and/or stored breast milk, read the information on handling stored breast milk carefully (refer to Recommendations on Storage).
