3.If you need to separate with your baby and hope to continue breastfeeding after reunion, breast milk can be expressed
periodically to maintain milk secretion.
VIII. HINTS
1. It takes practice in order to use the breast pump the best possible way. So it will take you at least several attempts
before starting successfully to use the electric breast pump.
Choose a quiet time to use the pump – time, when no one will disturb you.
2. Sit in a comfortable chair, in a perpendicular position to the ground. Please, put a comfortable cushion behind your
back before you start using the breast pump. Take a glass of water and place it near you, because you may feel thirsty
during the pumping process.
3. Place a warm cloth on your breasts for a few minutes before starting to express the milk as this may facilitate the
process and relieve the tension in the breasts.
4. Warmth and relaxation can help for the easier pumping of the breast milk, so before using the pump, you might like to
take a bath or a shower.
5. Try expressing from one breast while your baby is feeding from the other, or continue expressing just after the feed.
6. Repositioning the pump on your breast from time to time can help stimulate the secretion. Practice in order to find the
best pumping technique for you. If the process is causing you breast pain, stop immediately and consult with a doctor at
once.
7. Make sure that you have not blocked or covered the air opening of the pump body.
8. Breast pump use errors:
9. The electric pump is an apparatus, which helps postpartum women to ease the pain and to extend the breastfeeding
time. It uses the premise that there is sufficient milk and smooth mammary gland. For some women, which are mothers
for the first time, the mammary gland usually is not smooth enough. A reason sometimes can be the congenital nipple
inversion or milk water shortage. So, we suggest you before purchasing and using the pump, to consult with a doctor who
could confirm that your mammary gland is smooth and that the breast milk is in normal condition. Do not buy and use the
pump only as a device to unblock your milk ducts.
IX. HOW TO STORE THE BREAST MILK
1.Only breast milk that has been collected using a sterile breast pump can be stored to feed your baby.
2.The milk can be stored in a thermos at 40 ° C, so you can feed your baby every 4 hours.
3.If you store freshly expressed milk, seal the milk. The milk can be stored for 10 hours at room temperature at 19 - 25 ° C.
4.The expressed milk can be stored in a refrigerator for a maximum of 48 hours (but not on the refrigerator door) or in a
freezer for a maximum of 3 months.
5.Frozen milk must first be left in the refrigerator to thaw naturally. If you need it urgently, put it in a bowl of warm water
and thaw it. After thawing, the milk can be stored in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
6.NEVER FREEZE MILK AGAIN.
7.Frozen milk can be gradually warmed in warm water or placed in a baby bottle warmer.
8.NEVER WARM YOUR BREAST IN THE MICROWAVE, BECAUSE YOU CAN DESTROY VITAL NUTRIENTS AND ANTIBODIES
THIS WAY. Also, uneven heating can lead to too hot areas of breast milk, which can cause burns to your baby's upper
digestive tract. Never place a frozen bottle of milk in boiling water, as this may cause the bottle to burst / break. Never
pour boiling water directly into a feeding bottle. You should allow the water to cool for about 20 minutes before filling the
bottle.
