Correct expressing takes practice. You will
first need to get used to your new pump.

9.1 Frequency of expressing

How often you need to express depends on
the reason for expressing. If you will be
apart from your child and/or want to sustain
milk production, the natural breastfeeding
rhythm should be maintained. You should
therefore express 6 to 8 times daily,
including once during the night. In all other
cases you should
according to your personal wishes and
requirements.

9.2 Method

Milk should be expressed from each breast
in turn.
The amount of time needed to express milk
will vary considerably from one person to
another.

9.3 Quantity of milk

Don't be surprised if, at first, it takes a little
while for the milk to start flowing properly.
This is not unusual. In fact it is quite normal
because
milk production adapts itself to
daily requirements.
Hygiene is especially important when using
the breast pump. This applies to all the
individual pump parts as well as to your
own personal hygiene. We recommend
washing your nipples in clean water daily.
Preferably, soap should not be used, as it
may irritate the nipples.

9.4 Let-down reflex

baby on the breast stimulates the let-down
reflex and milk begins to flow. You can also
stimulate the let-down reflex as follows:

entirely
you can relax fully when using the breast
pump.
• Adopt a comfortable and relaxed sitting
position.
• Place a warm compress on your breast
for a few minutes, to relax the tissue,
and massage your breast.
• Ensure you have eye contact with your
baby. If this is not possible, look at a
photo of your baby.
• The let-down reflex triggers milk flow in
both breasts simultaneously. You can
