Before you begin pumping,make sure that you have correctly washed,sterilised and assembled
the ISIS Manual Breast Pump.Consult the‘Hints to help you succeed’section on page 11 for tips
on stimulating let-down and milk flow.Wash your hands thoroughly and make sure your breasts
are clean.Relax in a comfortable chair and lean slightly forward so that your milk flows easily
down the pump funnel into the milk container (you can use cushions to support your back).
2
Initiate let-down:To encourage let-down,lightly press
the handle in a way that feels comfortable and similar
to your baby’s initial rapid suckling action.
CAUTION:LET-DOWN CAN OCCUR IMMEDIATELY,EVEN
AFTER JUST A FEW STROKES AND SHOULD NOT TAKE
LONGER THAN 5 MINUTES (REFER TO HINTS TO HELP
YOU SUCCEED ON PAGE 11).
3
Milk expression:To create a natural and effective breast
pumping rhythm that can be maintained for the rest of
your pumping session,compress the handle slowly and
more fully (to increase the intensity of the suction),
hold for 2-3 seconds and then slowly release.
Note:You do not need to compress the handle fully,only
until it feels comfortable.The further you compress the
handle,the more suction the pump will provide.

Storing your milk:Make sure that you have not
over-filled the milk container and carefully unscrew
it from the pump body.Add a sterilised screw ring
and sealing disc to safely store your breast milk in
the refrigerator or freezer.
1
Create a reliable vacuum:Press the pump against your
breast to form a complete seal,ensuring that your
nipple fits into the funnel.Check you have a reliable
vacuum by compressing and releasing the handle so
you can feel suction.
