EXPRESSING
Apply the Collection Units to your breasts,
one at a time. Position the Breastcups, nipple
centered, fi rm enough to ensure a seal with
no air leaks. Then position the Breastcup of the
second Collection Unit.

Once you have achieved Let-Down, adjust the Flow and Speed dials as
necessary until they are comfortable for you. Let-Down is the biological trigger
to release breastmilk and it’s the fi rst step for a successful pumping session.
Breastmilk should begin to fl ow and collect in the bo le. Even if you do not
experience milk fl ow immediately, continue expressing for a few minutes. Your
fi rst few times expressing may not yield any milk. This is normal. Never exceed
minutes of expressing without milk fl ow.
A er expressing, be sure to place the fi lled Collection Units in the stands. This
keeps them stable and helps prevent spilling, and allows you free hands to turn off
the Motor Unit and unscrew the Collection Bo les. Always clean your Collection Unit
parts a er every expressing session.
WARNING Expressing milk should not cause pain or discomfort. If you experience pain or
discomfort during expressing, stop using the device immediately. The suction can be broken by
inserting your fi nger between your breast and the Breastcup. You can also break the suction
by unscrewing the Collection Bo le. To turn off the device, push the power bu on or unplug the
Power Cord from the Motor Unit.

Note: Be sure to always hold your Collection Units level when expressing. This ensures that your
Breast Pump performs as intended.
Dial Se ings: The speed dial controls how fast the pump cycles. The
fl ow dial controls the compression and vacuum level at the Breastcups.
Every mom is diff erent and therefore the right combination of speed and
fl ow se ings will be an individual choice based on comfort and volume of
milk fl ow. However, the following is a general guideline to get you started.
Start at C to achieve milk letdown. Once milk is fl owing, reduce the
speed knob and change the fl ow se ing to B or A. Experiment with the
knob se ings. A is the strongest se ing, but maximum milk fl ow occurs
at diff erent se ings for diff erent moms.
You may hear an airy, wispy noise. This comes from the Valve and is
completely normal.
Note: The Dr. Brown’s® Breast Pump is designed to automatically shut off
a er
minutes.
