l Wash hands thoroughly (at least one
minute) with soap and water before
touching the breast, the clean pump
and the clean pump set parts. Dry your
hands with a fresh towel or a single-use
paper towel.
l Wipe the breast with a warm cloth
(do not use alcohol) before pumping.
l Do not hold the pump set by the bottle
during pumping. This can lead to
blockage of the milk ducts and
engorgement.
l Contact the midwife or breastfeeding
and lactation consultant if only minimal
or no milk can be expressed or if
expression is painful.
Note
l Always disconnect the Symphony from
the power source after expression.
i
Info
l Double pumping saves time and
increases the energy content of the
milk. Milk production may be increased
and maintained over the long term.
Medela recommends double pumping.
l Do not kink the tubing during expres-
sion.
