Center your breastshield over your nipple.
Donottiltoroverfillbottleswhenpumping.
Set the vacuum regulator to minimum and start pumping.
Adjust the vacuum to your Maximum Comfort Vacuum™.
This is the highest vacuum you can use and still feel
comfortable (different for every mother). To find your
Maximum Comfort Vacuum increase vacuum until pump-
ing feels slightly uncomfortable (not painful), then decrease
slightly.

Breastshield Fitting
VI
ChoosingtherightsizeofBreastshield
A correctly fitted breastshield avoids compression of any milk ducts during pumping to
ensure optimal breast emptying and maximum milk output.
Your breastshield is the right size if your answer to the following questions is «Yes»:
• Is your nipple moving freely in the tunnel?
• Is minimal or no areolar tissue being pulled into the tunnel of the breastshield?
• Do you see a gentle, rhythmical motion in the breast with each cycle of the pump?
• Do you feel the breast emptying all over?
• Is your nipple pain-free?
If your answer to any of the above questions is «No», try a larger (or smaller) breastshield.

Breastshield: Available in five sizes – because one size does not
fit all.
