Breastfeeding and pumping are unique experiences for breastfeeding moms.
Please review the tips below before pumping.
• Moms are more likely to successfully pump if they are relaxed and thinking about baby.
• Avoid pumping if you are rushed.
• Efficient pumping usually takes patience and practice for moms.
• Moms that pump frequently become accustomed to it and are more likely to have faster letdown
and more milk flow.
• All moms are different. Some experience letdown quickly and some moms do not. Some
express on their first try and some moms do not.
• Do not be discouraged if you are unable to express milk on your first try. Simply take a break and
try again later.
• Do not be discouraged if you express only a small amount of breast milk. This is common
especially on the first few attempts.
• Pumping consistently, in addition to breastfeeding, can help sustain your milk supply
over time.
• A warm compress or a warm bath/shower can help encourage milk flow.
• Most importantly, pumping should be a comfortable experience. If you feel pain or
discomfort during pumping, contact a lactation consultant or your healthcare provider.
TROUBLESHOOTING
• For your pump to work as designed, all parts must be properly assembled. Make sure all parts
are snugly fit.
• When applying to your breast, make sure the shield is centered around your nipple.
• Hold the pump firm enough to your breast for a complete seal all around, but not too firm as
this could inhibit milk flow.
• When the handle is squeezed, make sure that you feel a light suction on your breast.
• If you require personal assistance about your pump, or have lost or broken parts, please contact
Dr. Brown’s Customer Service or your local distributor.e stored safely.
