Hints to help you succeed
Using a breast pump takes practice. You may need to make several attempts
before you succeed, but because the single electronic breast pump is so simple
and comfortable to use, you will soon get used to expressing milk.
1. Choose a quiet time when you’re not rushed and unlikely to be disturbed.
2. Having your baby or a photograph of your baby nearby can help
encourage your milk to flow.
3. Warmth and relaxation can help so you might like to try expressing after
a warm bath or shower.
4. Placing a warm cloth on your breasts for a few minutes before you start
pumping can also encourage your milk flow and soothe painful breasts.
5. Try expressing from one breast while your baby is feeding from the other,
or continue expressing just after a feed.
6. Repositioning the pump on your breast from time to time can help
stimulate your milk ducts.
7. To relieve engorgement, we recommend gentle, slow pumping to relieve
the pressure.
Practice with your pump to find the best pumping techniques for you. Don’t
worry if your milk doesn’t flow immediately, relax and continue pumping.
Do not continue pumping for more than 5 minutes at a time if NO result
is achieved. Try expressing at another time during the day.
