Single Pumping: Remove one Tube and cap one side. Cap Resting Barrier Collapsed Barrier If Barrier does not move, reassemble Cups and check all Tubing connections. 7 Ready to Pump Place Cups in your bra: 1: Bra fit is critical for proper use. Enough pressure is needed to seal the Flange against the breast while too much pressure may cause low output. 2: Before choosing a bra, pump by holding the Cups in place with your hands. Then try several of your bras to find one that most closely holds the Cups like your hands. 3: It may be necessary to adjust your bra to find the best fit for you. A sports bra or stretchy nursing bra can work well. Tubing and pour spout should be upright at the 12 o'clock position. Center Flange opening over the nipple. 8 Pump Controls Suction Setting 1=Low 5=Strong Cycle Setting 1=Fast 10=Slow 12 3 40:00 100% 11 Suction Cycle 12 3 40:00 5 100% TURBO Suction Cycle Minimum Maximum 3 Customizable Memory Settings Setting Setting Press and hold numbered buttons to save your favorite settings.

Pour Spout When set flat, Cups may gently rock and then naturally balance. Practice with water first. Pumping Positions A range of pumping positions are possible with Freemie. Mind the pour spout! Good Pumping Positions Poor Pumping Positions Freedom of movement with Freemie depends on: · How Cups are oriented on your breasts · Security of Cups in your bra · Amount of milk in Cups · How much Cups are jostled Advanced Technique: Requires re-orientation of cups inside bra. Finding Your Best Flange Fit Finding the best Breast Flange fit cannot simply be done by measuring your nipples because some nipples stretch more than others under suction. You can estimate your size, but some trial and error may be needed for you to optimize your comfort and milk output. Experiment to find the right fit and keep in mind: · You may need a different size than the Flanges provided. · You may need a different size for each nipple because no one is perfectly symmetrical. · You may prefer higher suction, making Flange comfort crucial. · Your nipple may expand in diameter and length while pumping and may change over time, so keep all of your sizes. Comfort is key! It may take a few tries to find what works. The Breast Flange size is measured across the opening that your nipple fits into. Measure Nipple Nipple Base Areola Choosing Another Size Use a ruler or coin diameters to estimate your erect nipple base size, and review the Flange fit details below. Choose the nearest size Flanges or Fitmie Inserts that are slightly larger than your nipples. SlimFit Fitmie sizes (15mm - 28mm) available at www.freemie.com. Dime: 17.91 mm Quarter: 24.26 mm Half Dollar: 30.61 mm Flange is too small for the nipple to move freely in and out of Flange. May cause rubbing or chafing. Flange is too big allowing too much breast and areola tissue to be drawn into Flange. May cause bruising. Flange is correct size With properly fitted Flanges the nipple moves in and out of the Flange freely. Important: Your bra needs to apply enough pressure to create a good seal on your skin so that air does not leak in and reduce suction. Too much pressure can pinch or obstruct ducts and reduce your milk output. Need more milk capacity? Try SlimFit6 or Standard Cups.
