3 Begin by pumping 5-6 times
rapidly to initiate. Then, hold
the handle down for 2-3
seconds, and allow it to return
to its resting place. These 2-3
second cycles imitate your
baby’s natural suckling pattern
and allow the milk to ow
between strokes.
4 Milk should begin to ow after
the rst few strokes. Don’t
worry if your milk does not
ow immediately. Relax and
continue pumping.

pump
1 Press the funnel and Massage
Cushion of the pump rmly
against your breast, making
sure that no air can escape
– otherwise there will be no
suction.

the pump handle, you will feel
the suction on your breast.
You don’t need to depress
the handle fully to create a
vacuum – only as much as is
comfortable. Your milk will
soon start owing, even though
you may not use all the suction
the pump can generate.
