and especially if you prefer to gradually increase vacuum intensity over a
pumping session, to turn the pump down low prior to turning it off.
Single Pumping
1. Connect the tubing to the
air nozzle on the front of the
pump motor.
2. Ensure that the cap is
secured over the unused air
nozzle (see right).
Tip: Make sure the cap is secured
firmly enough over the unused air
nozzle that no air can escape, but
not so firmly that it is difficult to
remove.
Double Pumping
1. Remove the cap from the second air nozzle.
2. Connect the tubing from
each milk collection kit into
an air nozzle (see below,
right).
Tip: Double pumping is more
effective for most women at building
milk supply, and is a great way to
save time. It is normal to notice that
suction reduces when double
pumping - just turn the vacuum
settings higher to compensate.
Tip: Hold one breast shield to your breast with your forearm and the other with
the hand of the same arm to keep one arm free while double pumping. If you are
expressing frequently, you may consider investing in a hands free pumping bra.
