NOTICE
Take appropriate care in handling bottles and components:
• Plastic bottles and parts become brittle when frozen and may break
when dropped.
• Do not microwave or boil breast milk. Microwaving can cause severe
burns to baby's mouth from hot spots that develop in the milk during
microwaving (microwaving or boiling can also change the composition
of breast milk).
• Clean and sanitise all parts that come into contact with your breast
and breast milk prior to first use.
• Only use Medela recommended parts with your breast pump.
• If pumping is uncomfortable or causing pain, turn the unit off, break the
seal between the breast and the breast shield with your finger and
remove the breast shield from your breast.
• While some discomfort may be felt when first using a breast pump,
using a breast pump should not cause pain. If you are unsure about
correct breast shield sizing please visit www.medela.com or see a
lactation consultant/breastfeeding specialist who can help you get a
proper fit.
• Contact your healthcare professional or breastfeeding specialist if you
can express only minimal or no milk or if expression is painful. See
chapter 7.1 for more information.
• If pumping at high altitudes, including in an airplane, consider
pumping more often or longer if you feel there is milk remaining in your
breasts after your pumping session.
• Bottles and parts may become damaged if mishandled (e.g., dropped,
over-tightened, or knocked over).
• Do not use the breast milk from bottles or components that show signs
of damage.
