USING THE PUMP
Before pumping, wash hands thoroughly with warm soapy water. Inspect all breast pump parts
for cleanliness – IF UNWASHED, FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS ON PAGE 3. Look closely at the
silicone shield, membrane, and duckbill valve to inspect for any signs of wear or damage.
Suction may decrease if parts are damaged or not properly assembled. Contact Dr. Brown’s
Customer Service or your local distributor to inquire.
Do not try to express milk if the level of vacuum is painful. This may lead to nipple and/or breast
trauma and cause difficulties with expression. Contact your healthcare professional if you can
only express minimal amounts of milk, or if expression is painful in any way.
1. Start with pump in Letdown Mode –with the
handle resting in the top notch of the mode pin.
2. Center nipple in the SoftShape™ Silicone
Shield and place shield against breast.
3. Begin pumping with short quick stokes.
This mimics baby’s way of rapidly sucking
to stimulate letdown.
4. Once letdown has begun and milk is
visibly flowing, switch to Expression Mode
(see page 6). Use longer, slower strokes
to mimic baby’s more relaxed feeding.
Continue pumping until breast is empty.
