Pumping
V
Be comfortably seated and relax. Use a footrest, when pumping or when feeding your
baby. Elevating your feet puts you into proper sitting position to avoid stress on the lower
back and perineum.
Center your breastshield over your nipple.
Do not tilt or overfill bottles when pumping.
Set the vacuum regulator to minimum and start pumping.
Adjust the vacuum to your Maximum Comfort Vacuum™.
This is the highest vacuum you can use and still feel
comfortable (different for every mother). To find your
Maximum Comfort Vacuum increase vacuum until pump-
ing feels slightly uncomfortable (not painful), then decrease
slightly.
Research has shown that you will pump more effi-
ciently – meaning get more milk in less time – when
pumping at Maximum Comfort Vacuum™.
Once finished pumping disassemble the pump kit items.
Close the bottle and store it for later use.
Use bottle stand to prevent tip over.

Breastshield Fitting
VI
Choosing the right size of Breastshield
A correctly fitted breastshield avoids compression of any milk ducts during pumping to
ensure optimal breast emptying and maximum milk output.
Your breastshield is the right size if your answer to the following questions is «Yes»:
• Is your nipple moving freely in the tunnel?
• Is minimal or no areolar tissue being pulled into the tunnel of the breastshield?
• Do you see a gentle, rhythmical motion in the breast with each cycle of the pump?
• Do you feel the breast emptying all over?
• Is your nipple pain-free?
If your answer to any of the above questions is «No», try a larger (or smaller) breastshield.

Breastshield: Available in five sizes – because one size does not
fit all.
