Its discreet and lightweight design allows it to be worn comfortably inside a bra, providing flexibility and ease of use for mothers on the go. The collector features a standing design to prevent spills once milk has been collected.

2. Setup and First Use

1. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, and after each subsequent use, thoroughly clean the milk collector. Wash with warm soapy water and rinse well. It is also recommended to sterilize the collector by boiling it in water for 3-5 minutes or using a steam sterilizer. Ensure it is completely dry before storage or use.
2. Inspection: Inspect the silicone collector for any signs of damage or wear before each use. Discontinue use if any damage is observed.

The milk collector is a single-piece design, requiring no assembly.

3. Operating Instructions

The Vulpes Goods BabyCare Milk Collector is designed for hands-free milk collection. Follow these steps for optimal use:

1. Placement: Gently press the collector against your breast, ensuring your nipple is centered within the opening. The soft silicone forms a comfortable seal.
2. Creating Suction: To increase suction, gently press the front of the collector to create a vacuum. This helps secure the collector and encourages milk flow.
3. Wearing: Once in place, position the collector discreetly inside your bra. Its lightweight and compact design allows for comfortable wear throughout the day.
4. Collection: The collector will passively collect any leaking breast milk. It can be worn while breastfeeding on the other breast, during pumping, or simply to catch let-down throughout the day.

5. Milk Transfer: When the collector is full (up to 60ml) or you wish to empty it, carefully remove it from your bra. The flat base allows it to stand upright on a flat surface, preventing spills. Pour the collected milk into a sterile storage bottle or bag.

4. Maintenance and Care

• Cleaning: Wash the milk collector immediately after each use. Use warm water and a mild, baby-safe dish soap. Rinse thoroughly with clean water to remove all soap residue.
• Sterilization: For complete sterilization, you can boil the collector in water for 3-5 minutes or use a suitable steam sterilizer. Ensure the collector does not touch the bottom or sides of the pot during boiling to prevent damage.
• Drying: Allow the collector to air dry completely on a clean surface or use a clean cloth. Store in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight.
• Material: The collector is made from durable, food-grade silicone. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or brushes that could damage the silicone surface.

5. Troubleshooting

• Collector is not staying in place or falling off:
  • Ensure your nipple is properly centered within the opening.
  • Apply gentle pressure to the front of the collector to create a stronger vacuum seal.
  • Check if your bra provides adequate support to hold the collector in place.
• Not collecting enough milk:
  • Ensure a good vacuum seal is created.
  • Milk collection depends on your natural let-down and milk supply. The collector is designed to catch passive leaks, not to actively express milk like a pump.
• Milk is leaking from the collector:
  • Check for proper seal against the breast.
  • Ensure the collector is not overfilled beyond its 60ml capacity.
  • Verify there are no tears or damage to the silicone.
