NB: If the breast-pump is pluged-in correctly (power, usb, batteries), all buttons will be lighted for 0.5 seconds. The breast pump does not

charge rechargeable batteries when it is plugged into the mains. Mains power automatically overrides battery power when the device is

connected to the mains. There is no need to remove the batteries. Minimum battery life is 3 hours with new batteries.

5. Assemble the shields with the tube and nozzle (cf photos).

5- How your breast pump works (see appendix IV)

1. Place the shield (I + J) on the breast around the nipple so that it forms a perfect seal, preventing air from entering.
2. Put your bra over the shield (I + J). You can pass the tube under your clothes and out at the bottom of the garment (photo 2a) or the collar

(photo 2b),

ensuring the tube is not kinked or squashed at any point.

3. Ensure the device is vertical, straight and lower than your breast.

4. Connect the tube (H + M) to the bottle ring (C). The tube (H) is very flexible, which can make it difficult to fit.

5. Ensure it is pushed in properly before turning the breast pump on.

6. Press the On button (1). The stimulation button (3) will light up automatically. It is programmed to last 2 minutes.

NB: The

stimulation mode mimics the rapid sucking movements your baby makes at the beginning of a feed to let down the milk.

7. After 2 minutes, the breast pump automatically switches to suction mode, on the lowest setting.

NB: The

expression mode mimics the deeper, slower sucking movements your baby makes once the milk starts to flow. You can choose to

switch to suction mode before the two minutes are up by pressing the level 1 button.

8. If you wish to use a higher suction mode, press level 2 and so on. The higher the suction the quicker your milk will be expressed. Try out
the various levels of suction to work out which one is the most efficient and comfortable for you.
9. Once you have found the level of suction that works for you, you can move straight from stimulation mode to your chosen level of

suction (without working through the levels in between).
10. Once you have finished expressing your milk, press the On/Off button (1) to switch off the device. Remove the shield (I + J), place it on

the other breast and repeat the steps above. You may find the second breast needs less stimulation time.

NB: The device turns off automatically once it has been in use for 30 minutes. Always keep an eye on the bottle to avoid overflow.

The breast pump includes 1 Bébé Confort bottle Natural Comfort 140 ml. Other Bébé Confort bottles can be used: plastic Natural

Comfort 240 ml, glass Natural Comfort 130 ml and plastic Maternity 140 ml sold separately.
