Always check the temperature of the milk before you feed it to your baby.
-
Always discard any breast milk that is left over at the end of a feed.
Don'ts
-
Never heat milk in a microwave, as this can cause uneven heating, which can lead to hot spots
in the milk. It may also destroy nutrients in the milk.
-
Never immerse a frozen storage cup in boiling water, as this may cause it to crack.
-
Never fill a storage cup with boiling water. Let the water cool down for 20 minutes before you
pour it into the storage cup.
Cleaning and disinfection
Caution: Wash your hands thoroughly before you touch disinfected items and make sure the
surfaces on which you place disinfected items are clean.
Clean and disinfect all parts of the breast pump before first use. Clean all parts after each use and
disinfect all parts before each subsequent use.
1 Disassemble the breast pump completely. Also remove the white valve.
Caution: Be careful when you remove the white valve and when you clean it. If it gets damaged,
your breast pump does not function properly. To remove the white valve, gently pull at the
ribbed tab on the side of the valve.
2 Clean all parts in hot water with some mild washing-up liquid and then rinse them thoroughly.
You can also clean the parts in the dishwasher (on the top rack only). Do not put any other
objects on top of them.
Note: To clean the valve, rub it gently between your fingers in warm water with some
washing-up liquid. Do not insert objects into the valve, as this may cause damage.
