3.2 Expressing milk
• Wash your hands, sit down comfortably and relax.
• Place the casing cover in the desired position and tighten it.
• Centre the nipple so that when pumping it moves freely in the breast shell/breast shell insert and
pump by activating the lever.
• Adjusting the suction intensity (vacuum): The further you press the lever, the greater the suction
1
intensity.
• Adjusting the speed interval: The faster you move the lever up and down, the higher the pumping
2
frequency.
• Our recommendation: Begin at a high speed interval and at low suction intensity in order to stimulate
the milk ejection reflex. Once the milk is flowing, reduce the speed interval and increase the suction
intensity
3.3 Choice of breast shell and
Optiflow massage insert
If your nipple rubs uncomfortably on the inner side
of the funnel, use a larger breast shell/breast shell
insert. If the areola is also sucked into the funnel, use
a smaller breast shell. The Optiflow massage insert
can only be used with the 31 mm breast shell.
4. Storage of breast milk
Recommended storage time at room temperature: 3–4 hours at 16–29°C (60–85°F); in the refrigerator:
3 days at ≤4°C (39°F); in freezing compartment with door: 6 months to 1 year at <-17°C (0°F)
