Preparing to Pump

When using your Twin Electronic Breast Pump for the first time, it will have retained factory settings stored in the memory as a result of quality control testing. If the blue One-Touch Memory Control is pressed prior to squeezing the control handle upon first use the pump will operate at these settings, which may or may not be comfortable for you. We recommend that prior to engaging the automatic mode, you establish a comfortable rhythm manually, then press the blue One-Touch Memory Control to continue your preferred rhythm.

If you find that you are not expressing a lot of milk the first few times you pump, don’t be discouraged. Learning to express milk, like breastfeeding, takes practice. Here are some tips that might make pumping easier:

1. Choose a time when you’re not rushed and won’t be interrupted.

2. Choose a comfortable chair with a table nearby, so you can set the pump motor within reach.

3. Look at a photograph of your baby to help

encourage let-down.

4. Place a warm cloth on your breasts for a few minutes before you start pumping. This encourages milk flow and can soothe painful breasts.

5. Warmth and relaxation can encourage milk flow. Try expressing after a bath or shower.

6. Try expressing from one breast while your baby is feeding from the other, or continue expressing just after a feed.

7. Reposition the pump on your breasts from time to time. This can stimulate your milk ducts.

You can use Twin Electronic Breast Pump as a:

Twin Electronic Pump

Single Electronic Pump

How quickly will the milk flow begin?

When pumping with the Twin Electronic Breast Pump your milk should begin to flow after a few compressions. If your milk does not begin to flow immediately, relax and continue pumping. CAUTION: DO NOT CONTINUE PUMPING FOR MORE THAN

5 MINUTES AT A TIME IF NO RESULT IS ACHIEVED. Stop, and try expressing milk

at another time of day. If the process becomes painful, stop and consult your health professional or breastfeeding advisor.

How much milk can you expect?

It has been shown that double pumping boosts prolactin levels and stimulates milk production so, if you can, use your breast pump regularly as a double pump. On average you will need to pump for 10 minutes to express 60-120 mls or 2-4 oz of milk. However, this is just a guide and varies from woman to woman. If you find that you regularly express more than 4 oz/125 ml of milk per session, attach a 9 oz/260 ml AVENT Breast Milk Container to the pump body.

Before assembling, make sure that you have correctly washed and sanitized the pump. See section titled ‘Cleaning and Sanitizing Your Pump’ on page 6.

Parts you will need for this step:

Assembling the Pump BodyAssembling the Pump Body

Pump body

White valve Clear silicone diaphragm

Double pumping? Assemble two pumps as shown below.

Single pumping? Assemble one pump as shown below.

Insert the white valve into the pump body, so that it fits securely into the small round

hole. Make sure the pointed side of the valve is facing down.

Fit the clear silicone diaphragm into the pump body. Ensure a perfect seal around

the rim by pressing down with your fingers. (This is easier if assembled while

the diaphragm is wet.)

Let-down Massage Cushion White standMilk container

Screw the pump body onto the milk container until securely in place.

To ensure that the pump is completely stable, you can use the stand with the 4 oz/125 ml milk container.

The Let-down Massage Cushion has petals that flex in and out to gently massage the area

around the breast. This is intended to help stimulate a fast, natural milk flow. When using the breast pump without the Let-down Massage Cushion, the maximum vacuum level achievable will be higher.

Pumping with Your Electronic Breast Pump Pumping with Your Electronic Breast Pump

Before you begin pumping, make sure that you have correctly washed, sanitized and assembled the pump. Consult the ‘Preparing to Pump’ Section on page 7 for tips on stimulating let-down and milk flow.

Wash your hands thoroughly and make sure your breasts are clean.

Turn on Pump: When the flashing ORANGE light changes to a continuous GREEN light, the pump is ready to use.

If the light is flashing RED, refer to the ‘Troubleshooting Guide’ on page 18.

Form a Seal: Press the pump against your breast, so that your nipple fits into the funnel. A seal should form between the pump and your breast. (If double pumping, press a pump

to each breast.)

Let-down: Let-down is your body’s physiological response to the suckling action of your baby on the breast. This stimulates

the breast to produce milk and send it towards the nipple where it is available for baby.

To initiate let-down, begin by squeezing the handle with shallow quick strokes. This is intended to imitate your baby’s natural suckling pattern. At the same time you are doing this, you are enabling the petals on the Let-down Massage Cushion to flex in and out around the areola, creating a massaging effect. This is intended to help stimulate the natural let-down reflex. Let-down can occur immediately after a few strokes and should not take longer than 5 minutes (refer to page 7 on ‘Preparing to Pump’). You can choose to automate this let-down phase by pressing the blue One-Touch Memory Control or you can continue to pump manually.

Your Electronic Breast Pump Mimics Your Pumping: To create a natural breastfeeding rhythm, we suggest you hold down on the handle for

3 seconds, then release and repeat the pattern for the next compression.

Next, press the blue One-Touch Memory Control on the handle. The mode light on the pump motor will change from solid

GREEN to flashing GREEN and your breast pump will mimic the

rhythm of the last two compressions.

Note: You do not need to compress the handle fully, only until it feels comfortable. The further you compress the handle, the more suction the pump will provide. If the pressure is uncomfortable, stop the automated pumping by pressing the One-Touch Memory Control and breaking the seal between your breast and pump funnel with your finger.

Changing the Speed and Level of Suction: Press the blue One-Touch Memory Control on the handle again, and the pump

will revert to manual control. The light will turn from flashing

GREEN to solid GREEN. Establish a comfortable speed and level

of suction. Press the blue One-Touch Memory Control again, and your Electronic Breast Pump will continue the same pumping rhythm.

Ending Pumping Session: Press the blue One-Touch Memory Control, break the seal between your breast and pump funnel with your finger

and remove the pump from your breast. Turn the pump off and unplug at the power source. Your Electronic Breast Pump will remember and save the speed and suction level of your last two compressions. Unscrew the base after milk is collected. If any milk remains in the pump body, pour it into the base. Do not overfill the base. Wash and re-sanitize all necessary parts before the next use.

Next time you turn your pump on: Resuming Saved Session? Turn on the pump as in Step 1. Complete Step 2. Press the blue One-Touch Memory Control.This engages the

automatic pumping mode. The pump will continue with the rhythm of the last two saved compressions of the milk expression phase. Continue pumping as described in Step 4. Need to re-establish let-down? If you need to establish let-down, turn on the pump as in Step 1. Complete Step 2. Squeeze the handle with shallow quick strokes and proceed as described in Step 3.

CONSULT THE GUIDELINES FOR STORING EXPRESSED BREAST MILK ON PAGE 16 & 17.

Milk Expression: Milk Expression occurs after let-down is achieved and milk begins to flow. It is the phase that

is induced by the baby’s deeper more comfortable suckling rhythm.

If you did not automate the let-down rhythm, please skip to Step 5. If you have automated the let-down phase in Step 3, press the blue One-Touch Memory Control to end the let-down rhythm. You can now begin to establish a comfortable pumping rhythm and level of suction that can be maintained throughout your pumping session.

HELPFUL TIP!

The light on top of the Twin Electronic Breast Pump Motor indicates the pump mode:

Flashing ORANGE Light: Pump is in warm-up mode. Wait for the continuous GREEN light.

Continuous GREEN Light: Manual pumping mode. You control the speed and pressure of the pump.

Flashing GREEN Light: Automatic pumping mode. Your breast pump will mimic your last established pumping rhythm and level of suction.

Flashing RED Light: Consult the ‘Troubleshooting Guide’ on page 18.
