Pumping - Medela Harmony Instrucciones De Uso

3. Pumping

Caution
• Wash hands thoroughly with soap
and water before touching the
breast and pump parts.
• Always inspect breastshields,
valves and membranes prior to use
for cleanliness. If dirty, see
Section 1.2.
• Contact your healthcare
professional or breastfeeding
specialist if you can express only
minimal or no milk or if expression
is painful. See Section 7 for more
information.
• Do not try and express with
vacuum that is too high and
uncomfortable (painful). The pain,
along with potential breast and
nipple trauma may decrease milk
output.
• Step 2: Do not hold the pump
kit by the bottle. This can lead to
blockage of the milk ducts and
engorgement.

3.1 Pumping
1
Center breastshield over
nipple. Caution: pushing
shield too fi rmly into breast
may actually reduce milk fl ow.
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
fl ow begin. This mode mimics
baby's initial rapid sucking and is
designed to stimulate milk
fl ow/let-down.
2
The 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.
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 fl ow.
