How to use Spectra 9 Plus Breast Pump?

1. Sterilize Parts: Sterilize all parts of spectra breast pump except for tubing and pump motor using any preferred sterilization method. To sterilize by boiling disassemble all parts and cover with water in a large pot. Bring to a boil for 5 minutes. Use tongs to remove parts from pot and set to air dry on a clean paper towel.
2. Assemble: Firmly press valve into the bottom of the breast flange then twist breast flange onto collection bottle. Press backflow protector into breast flange, and place tubing firmly onto backflow protector and onto air ports on pump motor.
3. Fit to Breast: Place breast flange so nipple is centred within the flange. While pumping your nipple should move freely within the flange with 2-3mm space, not rubbing on the sides and without excess areola being drawn in. You should not feel any pain. See our website for more on flange sizing.
4. Understanding Settings: You should plan on trying out different settings to find what works best for you. To start, begin in massage mode. Increase vacuum strength to trigger milkflow. Switch to expression mode. Try adjusting vacuum level. Pumping shouldn’t be painful - never use settings out of comfort level.

Pumping Tips of Spectra s9 Breast Pump:

• Relax and stay hydrated.
• Set yourself up with a glass of water, snacks and try to minimise interruptions for the next 15-30 minutes. Remember who you are pumping for.
• Try pumping with a picture or video of your baby, or a piece of your baby’s clothing, to encourage milkflow.
• Massage your breasts to encourage milkflow.
• Before and during pumping, massage your milk ducts by pressing in small gentle circles starting at the top of the breast and working down.
• Free a hand.
• With practice, you may be able to use the crook of your elbow to support one collection bottle while holding the other, or invest in a hands free pumping bra.
