Congratulations on your new baby! We are happy to oer moms products and support they need to enjoy every moment of The First Years.
Breastfeeding is the most precious gift you can give to your child. Human milk is the most beneficial nutrition available and contains ingredients not found in formula. It also contains antibodies which help protect your baby from infection and stimulates the baby’s immune system.
Although the primary benefit of breastfeeding is nutritional, nursing is about more than feeding your baby. It’s also a comforting and nurturing experience. Follow these simple suggestions, and you and your baby will both benefit from the wonderful bond you will share through breastfeeding.

Breastfeeding Tips
Baby at the breast
Make a nesting station so you can nurse your baby without interruption.
• Comfortable chair w/footstool or sitting upright in bed
• Lots of pillows
• Pitcher of water
• Cut up fruit, veggies, snack, etc.
• Cordless phone
• TV remote
• When baby is at the breast his/her belly should touch your body, in whatever position you choose to feed (cradle, clutch, or lying down).
• Use lots of pillows to keep baby level with your breasts, being sure to always hold the baby.
• Tickle the baby’s nose with your nipple. Make him/her open their mouth very wide.
• Guide your baby onto the breast (not the nipple). Babies need to suck the breast not just the nipple.
• Once the baby is comfortably latched on, sit back, take a drink of water, relax and enjoy!
Most breastfed babies will want to eat about every 2—3hrs
Starting to pump
• Wash your hands.
• Wherever you are, try to make a comfortable/private space.
• Keep a picture of your baby with you, and his/her shirt or blanket (to smell).
• Fill a pitcher with water or juice.

You may do breast massage or hand expression prior to placing the Flexi-Fit™ shields on your breasts.
• Place the Flexi Fit™ shields on your breasts. Make sure your nipple is centered in the shield.
• Turn the pump on.
• Relax, think of your baby, and allow your letdown reflex to work for you.
• If you experience any pain or discomfort, turn o the pump, reposition and start again.
• Increase the suction to a level that is comfortable for you.
• Milk should begin flowing into the bottle.
• You should pump each breast for 15 minutes.
• You may get a small amount of milk in the beginning. No mechanical device can ever be as ecient as your nursing baby. Pumping is likely to yield more once you become more comfortable with the process.
• When you are done, turn your settings back to low before taking the Flexi-Fit™ shields o your breasts.
• Before storing, label milk with name and date.
When to contact your lactation consultant
• If baby is less than 4 weeks old
• If baby is premature (less than 36 week gestation)
• If mother is engorged
• If mother has sore nipples
• If mother has low milk supply
• If baby has diculty latching onto breast
• If skin irritation occurs when using your pump

Note: The pump always powers on at level one.

overfilled bottle could damage the pump. If you wish to continue pumping, remove full bottle and replace it with an empty bottle.

Clean all parts prior to initial use and after each use.
Important: Do not sterilize any part of the breast pump in the microwave.
1. Always separate the 3-way adapter from breast shield before cleaning.
2. After cleaning the valve, gently lift the end of the soft rubber piece (the end with
the raised bumps) to ensure the soft rubber piece can flap freely and that it is not stuck to the valve. If the end is stuck to the valve, wash valve again in warm soapy water. Do not press or pull hard on the flexible flapper end. Damage can occur if the flapper tears.
3. Wipe hose clean with clean damp cloth.
To store: Make sure pump and all components are completely dry before placing in tote bag. If you have installed batteries, remove them prior to storing the pump for a prolonged time period.

Tips for Freezing Milk
• Only fill container ¾ full before freezing to allow for milk expansion.
• Freeze milk in quantities of 2 to 4 ounce portions. This allows milk to thaw quicker and creates less waste if your baby does not drink it all.
Always use thawed milk within 24 hours of thawing.
Never refreeze milk once it has been defrosted.
Do not use a microwave oven to thaw frozen breast milk.
• Thaw frozen breast milk in the refrigerator for several hours or with warm water. If thawing with warm water, you may need to gently shake the container to blend any fat that has separated.

It’s a good idea to keep fresh batteries with you so you can replace them immediately, if necessary, during pumping (especially if an outlet is not available). You’ll know batteries are getting weak if the pump slows down and begins to make straining noises. If the batteries die completely, the pump will stop.
1. Turn pump over to expose battery door; slide door in direction of arrow to open.
2. Insert 4 AA batteries (alkaline recommended for best performance). Position batteries as shown in the compartment.
3. Replace cover and slide closed.
IMPORTANT: Each battery must be positioned correctly otherwise pump will not function.
WARNING
Do not warm milk in a microwave oven as it destroys nutrients and antibodies and can create hot spots harmful for your baby.
Do not use a bottle warmer to warm breast milk, unless the bottle warmer is specially designed to work with breast milk.
Never immerse a frozen bottle into boiling water as this may cause the bottle to crack.
Product Return Policy
For reasons of hygiene, this breast pump cannot be returned to the store once it has been opened. However, The First Years oers product replacement under terms of its 90-day manufacturer’s warranty.
Install/Change Batteries
16 thefirstyears.com
Double Electric Breast Pump
Do not attempt to recharge non-rechargeable batteries.
Be sure to position “+” and “–” symbols as indicated in battery compartment.
Do not mix old and new batteries.
Do not mix alkaline, standard (Carbon zinc) or rechargeable (nickel-cadmium) batteries.
• Dierent types of batteries or new and used batteries are not to be mixed.
• The supply terminals are not to be short-circuited.
• Do not use rechargeable batteries.
Always remove exhausted batteries from pump.
Never use a screwdriver or any other tool to pry batteries from compartment, as doing so may short circuit supply terminals.
Keep batteries away from children. Parents are urged to exercise care in the storage, use and disposal of all batteries.
In the European market the dustbin symbol indicates that batteries, rechargeable batteries, button cells, battery packs, etc. must not be put in the household waste. Batteries containing hazardous substances are harmful to the environment and to health. Please help to protect the environment from health risks and tell your children to dispose of batteries properly and take them to the local collecting points. Batteries are recycled safely in this manner. The chemical symbols Hg (Mercury), Cd (Cadmium) or Pb (Lead) shown on the dustbin symbol indicates that the content of that chemical exceeds a certain limit.
CAUTION: To Avoid Battery Leakage
