2. Assemble Freemie® Cups
Incorrect assembly of the milk backow barrier will cause low or no suc tion.
Step 1: Place Barrier onto funnel
mounting ridge and against cone surface.
Step 2: Align Valve Base
with Barrier and Funnel and push together.
Practice pouring water from Freemie Cups into a storage bottle or bag before trying with pumped milk to help ensure successful transfers.
Bra t is critical for proper use.
Before choosing a bra, pump with the Freemie using your hands to hold the Cups in place.
To achieve the same pressure and sensation with the Freemie Cups in your bra, it may be necessary to adjust your bra or try different bras to
nd the best t for you. A sports bra or stretchy nursing bra works well for
some women. Freemie Cups can be used discreetly with proper wardrobe planning.
Loose clothing with easy access and scarves will be most discreet. Before
rst use in public, put water in the Cups and practice placement and
removal of the Cups in your bra. This exercise will help in determining wardrobe requirements.
4. Freemie® position and placement
Place Freemie Cup inside your bra with tubing facing upright in the 12 o'clock position.
Freemie Breast Funnel should be centered over the nipple.
Pump with Freemie Cups in an upright position, such as
sitting or standing
You may pump in any of these positions. The position of the cups
relative to the horizon is important, as your milk needs to ow
downhill in the funnel.

ring of the funnel, and snap together to secure the assembly.
Ensure all connections are secure and tight to prevent loss of suction. Replace valves approximately every 3 months
Step 4: Press Valve onto
valve base.
Note: Depending on the shape and orientation of your breasts, you may be able to comfortably pump in a wide variety of positions.
5. Transfer milk from Freemie® Cups
• Turn off pump, remove tubing from Freemie Cups.
• Carefully remove Freemie Cups from your bra. Handle cups with care. Milk pours out from pour spout. Placement at any
other position may cause milk to ow into the tubing or leak out of cups.
Transfer milk to storage container or bottle after pumping. Pour quickly with breast funnel up.
Handwash all components that come into contact with breast milk in hot soapy water, then rinse thoroughly.
Leave parts disassembled until ready for next use.
