WARNING: To avoid health risk and reduce the risk of injury:
• Do not store wet or damp parts as mold may develop.
• Do not run pump with wet tubing. Doing so will harm the pumpmotor.
• While some discomfort may be felt when first using a breast pump, using a
breast pump should not cause pain.
• If you are experiencing discomfort at the base of the nipple due to
rubbing of your breast tissue with the breast flange tunnel, discontinue
use and contact your healthcare professional or breastfeedingspecialist.
• For assistance with correct breast flange sizing and comfort please
contact customer support at www.drbrownsbaby.com/contact/or
contact a lactation consultant/breastfeeding specialist.
• Contact your healthcare professional or breastfeeding specialist if you can
express only minimal or no milk or if expression is painful. See Section 8 for
more information.
• Do not try and express with vacuum that is too high and uncomfortable
(painful). The pain, along with potential breast and nipple trauma, may
decrease milk output.
• Make sure tubing is not kinked or pinched while pumping. • Do not holdthe
pump kit by the bottle. This can lead to blockage of the milk ducts and
engorgement.
• Do not thaw frozen breastmilk in a microwave or in a pan of boiling water. •
Do not microwave breastmilk. Microwaving can cause severe burns to
baby’s mouth from hot spots that develop in the milk during microwaving.
(Microwaving can also change the composition of breastmilk.)
