How to Use an Evenflo Electric Breast Pump

Doctors say that breast milk is the best thing you can feed your newborn baby. However, breast-feeding can be time-consuming and you will not always have the time or be in the right place to do so. Breast pumps allow new moms increased flexibility with their decision to breast-feed their babies, as breast pumps are portable and give women the option of storing breast milk for later use. Evenflo's electric breast pump lets you pump both breasts at once, saving you valuable time.

Instructions

1

Wash your hands with warm water and a gentle hand soap.

2

Massage your nipples gently, stimulating your let-down reflex. Continue until your breast emits a few drops of milk.

3

Put the horn of the breast pump against your nipple. Your nipple should be in the exact center.

4

Wet the horn with a few drops of breast milk to keep it adhered to your breast most effectively.

5

Twist the vacuum dial to the setting that reads "MIN."

6

Push the "ON/OFF" button. This will initiate pumping.

7

Twist the setting toward "MAX" if you need or prefer more suction.

8

Hold your breast pump and the bottle vertically, so that the milk will flow easily from the horn to the bottle.

9

Pump until the breast milk has all come out, and then push the "ON/OFF" button to turn the pump off.

10

Remove the bottle from the breast pump and put a lid on it.

11

Label the bottle with the date and the time that you pumped the milk.

12

Chill the breast milk immediately. Otherwise, the milk may spoil.
