5. Упатства за работа

The Medela Harmony Manual Breast Pump features two distinct pumping phases to mimic a baby's natural feeding rhythm: a stimulation phase and an expression phase.

Процес на пумпање:

  1. Позиционирање: Center your nipple in the PersonalFit Flex Breast Shield tunnel. Ensure a comfortable seal around your breast.
  2. Фаза на стимулација: Begin by pressing the smaller, upper part of the handle (the stimulation lever) quickly and lightly. This rapid, shallow suction helps stimulate milk let-down. Continue for approximately 2 minutes or until milk begins to flow.
  3. Фаза на изразување: Once milk starts flowing, switch to the longer, lower part of the handle (the expression lever). Press this lever fully and hold for a few seconds, then release. This creates a slower, deeper suction to efficiently express milk. Adjust the rhythm and suction strength to your comfort and milk flow.
  4. Времетраење: Pump until your breast feels soft and milk flow slows significantly. This typically takes 10-15 minutes per breast.
  5. Складирање: After pumping, carefully remove the breast pump from your breast. Unscrew the bottle from the connector and seal it with the provided lid for storage.

6. Чистење и одржување

Proper cleaning and maintenance are crucial for hygiene and the longevity of your breast pump. All parts that come into contact with breast milk should be cleaned after each use and sterilized daily.

По секоја употреба:

  1. Disassemble all parts that come into contact with breast milk (breast shield, connector, valve, membrane, bottle).
  2. Rinse all separated parts with cold water to remove milk residue.
  3. Wash parts in warm, soapy water using a mild dish soap. Use a clean brush dedicated for pump parts.
  4. Исплакнете темелно со чиста вода.
  5. Air dry on a clean paper towel or drying rack. Avoid using a cloth towel as it may leave lint.

Daily Sterilization:

In addition to washing, sterilize all milk-contacting parts once a day:

Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembling or storing to prevent bacterial growth.
