1. Soft, Natural Cup Shape: Designed for comfortable fit and efficient milk expression.
2. Ball Stopper: Used to seal the pump and keep collected milk inside for easy storage.
3. Soft Silicone Body: Made from 100% soft silicone for comfort and durability.
4. Suction Cup Base: Prevents accidental spills and provides stability when placed on a flat surface.

Setup

Before First Use:

1. Disassemble all parts of the breast pump.
2. Wash all parts thoroughly in warm soapy water.
3. Rinse all parts well with clean water.
4. Sterilize by boiling in water for 5 minutes or using a suitable sterilizer according to its instructions.
5. Ensure all parts are completely dry before assembly and storage.

Assembly:

The Nuby Silicone Manual Breast Pump is designed for simple assembly. For milk expression, the pump is used as a single unit. If you intend to store milk directly in the pump after collection, ensure the silicone stopper is clean and dry, and insert it firmly into the opening at the top of the pump after use.

Operating Instructions

Follow these steps for effective milk expression and collection:

1. Prepare: Ensure the pump is clean and sterilized. Wash your hands thoroughly.
2. Position: Place the pump over your breast, centering your nipple in the opening of the cup. Ensure a comfortable and secure fit.
3. Create Suction: Gently squeeze the base of the pump to create a vacuum seal around your breast. Release the squeeze to allow the pump to draw milk. The pump will create a natural suction, and milk will begin to flow into the collector. No active pumping is required.
4. Collect Milk: Allow the pump to collect milk naturally. You can use this pump on one breast while breastfeeding from the other, or as a standalone manual pump.
5. Release Suction: Once the desired amount of milk is collected, or when the milk flow slows, gently press the base of the pump to release the suction from your breast.
6. Store Milk: If storing milk directly in the pump, firmly insert the silicone ball stopper into the opening. Alternatively, transfer the collected breast milk into a suitable, sterilized storage container or bottle.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Proper cleaning and maintenance are essential for hygiene and the longevity of your breast pump.

• After Each Use: Disassemble all parts immediately after each use.
• Washing: Wash all parts thoroughly in warm soapy water. Use a soft brush if necessary to remove any milk residue.
• Rinsing: Rinse all parts thoroughly with clean, running water to remove all soap residue.
• Drying: Air dry completely on a clean drying rack or dry with a clean, lint-free cloth. Ensure all parts are completely dry before storing to prevent mold or bacterial growth.
• Sterilization: Sterilize all parts that come into contact with breast milk regularly, as per the 'Before First Use' instructions.
• Dishwasher: This product is NOT dishwasher safe. Hand wash only.
• Storage: Store the clean and dry pump in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Nuby Silicone Manual Breast Pump, consider the following:

• No Suction or Weak Suction:
  • Ensure the pump is correctly positioned and sealed around your breast. There should be no air gaps.
  • Check the silicone pump for any damage, tears, or deformities that might compromise the seal.
  • Ensure your breast is clean and dry where the pump makes contact.
• Low Milk Flow:
  • Ensure you are relaxed and comfortable. Stress can inhibit milk flow.
  • Try gently massaging your breast before and during pumping to stimulate let-down.
  • Ensure adequate hydration and nutrition, as these can affect milk supply.
  • If using while breastfeeding on the other side, ensure your baby has a good latch.
• Pump Falling Off:
  • Ensure a strong initial squeeze to create a firm vacuum seal.
  • Avoid sudden movements that might break the seal.
