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 com plaints or other discomfort following your pregnancy. Express your breast milk during periods in which you are not in a hurry and will not be dis turbed. While expressing breast milk, liquids are drawn from your body. Therefore, drink a suffi cient 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 thor oughly 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 breast feeding rhythm. Without Prior Breastfeeding If it is not possible to breastfeed your child di rectly, 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 ex press 80 to 100 ml 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 alter nately on both breasts. Since breast milk is produced indepen dent 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".15 Operating Elements (Overview)

Carefully screw the lid (5) clockwise on the thread of the pump housing (3) as far as possi ble. Fit the breast shield (2) in the pump hous ing (3) as illustrated. Pay attention that the breast shield (2) is fitted properly and fully against your breast. Connect the hose (6) to the vacuum con nection in the lid (5). Connect the hose (6) to the vacuum con nection (22) in the pump unit. The second vacuum connection is pro vided 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.17 Expressing Breast Milk Connect one end of the microUSB ca ble (9) supplied to the microUSB connec tion (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 re flex 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 set ting 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 Recom mendations on Storage).

• Risk of scalding! Breast milk which is too hot can lead to burns in areas of the mouth and throat! Try the breast milk before giving it to your child. Insert the teat (15) in the fastening ring (16) of the feeding bottle. Carefully screw the fastening ring (16) on the feeding bottle (12) clockwise as firmly as possible. Slowly turn the feeding bottle (12) upside down and back to mix any fat sediment in the milk. Do not shake or stir the milk. Heat the breast milk to body temperature (approx. 37°C). Try the breast milk before giving it to your child. Feed your child according to its needs. Storing Expressed Milk Expressed milk can be stored and frozen in suitable containers. It is essential to observe the information in Rec ommendations on Storage. Fill the container maximally three-quarters full. Label the containers with the date and time at which the breast milk was expressed.18 Recommendations on Storage It is essential to observe the information in Rec ommendations on Storage. The values speci fied could vary from the those which must be implemented according to the ambient condi tions. NEVER use a microwave oven or boiling water to thaw or warm up breast milk. If breast milk is not warmed carefully, it loses some of its natural vitamins, miner als and other valuable nutritional content. To retain the nutritional content of the breast milk, it is preferable to thaw the breast milk in a refrigerator overnight. Alternatively, you can hold the breast milk con tainer under lukewarm water (max. 37 °C). Storing at Room Temperature For a period of 15 to 30 minutes at a stor age temperature between 19° and 26°C. Storing in a Refrigerator For a period of 12 hours at a maximum sto rage temperature of 4°C. The temperature in a refrigerator door is higher than that recommended for stor ing breast milk. Therefore, keep the breast milk in a middle or lower shelf of your refrigerator. Storing in a Freezer

• Risk of injury! Impairment of the immune system or other health risks due to germs! Store and feed breast milk according to the recommendations on storage. Do not thaw breast milk and freeze it again! For a period of 4 to 6 weeks at a storage temperature between -18° and -20°C. Storing Thawed Breast Milk

• Risk of injury! Impairment of the immune system or other health risks due to germs! Store and feed breast milk according to the recommendations on storage. Do not thaw breast milk and freeze it again! For a period of 12 hours at a maximum sto rage temperature of 4°C. Cleaning and Sterilising the Breast Pump Only when the breast pump has been thor oughly cleaned and sterilised can you be sure that the breast milk can be collected, stored and fed free of contamination. We recommend using the BS29 electron ic steam steriliser. Simply contact our Service department. Before beginning with cleaning and sterilis ing, wash your hands, breasts and teats thor oughly so that there is no residual cream or ointment on the skin. Clean and sterilise all parts which come into contact with your breast or the breast milk after each feed.19 Cleaning Press the button (18) to switch the breast pump off.

• Risk of fatal injury through electric shock! Disconnect the breast pump from the power supply before starting any clean ing work. Ensure that the pump unit never comes into contact with water. Disconnect the power adapter plug from the power socket (or the USB plug from the com puter). Disassemble the breast pump and acces sories into their individual parts.

• Property damage! Electronic components could be dam aged. Never clean the pump unit with water. Use a slightly moistened, lint-free cloth to clean the pump unit. Pull the valve (13) from the pump hous ing using the handle. Flush all the individual parts thoroughly un der running water.

• Property damage! Milk residues could lead to material dam age. Clean the individual parts thoroughly. Use a mild washing-up liquid and then rinse with running water. The individual parts of the breast pump are dishwasher-proof. Please note that cleaning the individual parts in a dish washer DOES NOT sterilise the individual parts. Sterilising Sterilisation of the breast pump and acces sories ensures that the breast milk is not con taminated when collected, stored and fed. Before sterilising the individual parts of the breast pump, the individual parts must have been cleaned as described in Chapter Cleaning.

• Property damage! Electronic components could be dam aged. It is not necessary to sterilise the pump unit. Fill a suitably sized, household cooking pot with sufficient water and bring it to the boil.

• Risk of scalding! Boiling water can lead to severe burns. Avoid direct contact with hot water and steam. Insert the individual parts in the boiling wa ter. Remove the individual parts from the boiling water after about 10 minutes. Allow the individual parts to drip-dry. The clean, sterile parts are now ready to be used again (refer to Chapter Assembling the Breast Pump). Keep the breast pump and all the individ ual parts dust-free, as far as possible, until they are used again; wrapped in a clean, lint-free tea towel for example.20 In the Case of Problems Problem Solution Breast pump does not work Check the power adapter plug and microUSB plug are connected properly, plug in again if necessary.
