How to use a Mammia breast pump: Step-by-step guide
Preparation: Make sure you are settled in a calm and comfortable place. If possible, apply a warm compress to your breasts before starting to help stimulate the milk let-down reflex.
Assembling the breast pump: Follow the instructions provided with your Mammia breast pump to assemble the parts correctly. Make sure everything is clean and sterilized before use.
Positioning: Place the silicone cushion on your breast, making sure your nipple is properly centered in the flange. Proper positioning ensures better comfort and more effective expression.
Adjusting the intensity: The Mammia breast pump offers different intensity levels to suit your needs. Start with gentle suction to imitate your baby’s stimulation phase, then gradually increase the intensity for optimal expression.
Duration of use: Express your milk for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until you feel your breasts are empty. If you are using an electric pump, you can adjust the settings for a more comfortable experience.
Milk storage: After each session, pour your milk into a bottle or storage bag. Be sure to label it with the date and time for future use. Breast milk can be stored for up to 4 days in the refrigerator and several months in the freezer.
