Using Your Harmony
1. C enter breastshield over
nipple. Caution: pushing
shield too firmly into breast
may actually reduce milk flow.
2. T he adjustable handle can be
positioned for your maximum
pumping comfort. The level of
vacuum is controlled by the
compression and the speed
of the handle stroke. You
decide the pumping rhythm
that is best for you.
3. Start pumping in the
stimulation mode, by pressing
down on the milk drops
symbol on top of the pump
handle. Press and release
quickly until you see milk flow
begin. This mode mimics
baby's initial rapid sucking
and is designed to stimulate
milk flow/let-down.
4. Once let-down has begun,
switch to the expression
mode by pressing the bottom
of the pump handle. This will
give you a longer stroke that
mimics baby's deeper, more
relaxed sucking and is
designed to maximize
milk flow.
5. O nce you are finished pumping, parts should be
cleaned following directions on page 4.

When to Use the Harmony
The Harmony Breastpump...
• allows you to pump manually on an occasional
basis. That is, you are available to nurse your
baby for most feedings each day, except
for a few occasions during the week.
• is ideal to collect breastmilk for a feeding
that will be missed due to an evening out.
• is also ideal to relieve occasional breast
engorgement or sore nipples.
When long-term pumping is required, e.g. when the baby
is not available to feed at the breast at least part of the
time each day (a premature infant, for example), it is
recommended that you use a hospital-grade electric
breastpump such as the Symphony
pump may be rented for short to extended periods of
time, depending upon your needs. For the names
and locations of Medela electric breastpump rentals,
please call 1-800-TELL YOU (1-800-835-5968) in
the US or Canada.
