A manual breast pump uses a hand-operated lever or squeeze bulb to create suction for expressing milk without electricity or batteries.
How to Use a Manual Breast Pump
• Sterilize parts: Boil or sanitize all components in hot, soapy water before your first use and regularly thereafter.
• Assemble the pump: Insert the valve into the pump body, attach the silicone diaphragm and handle, and screw on the collection bottle.
• Position the shield: Center the flange or breast cushion comfortably over your nipple.
• Stimulate let-down: Begin with quick, light squeezes of the handle to trigger your milk flow.
