Just like any other product, using a Spectra breast pump correctly is crucial for its optimal performance, longevity, and minimizing potential damage. Proper usage encompasses everything from assembly and operation to cleaning, ensuring the pump remains in good condition for extended use.
Spectra is a mid-range breast pump brand highly favored by mothers today. Its popularity stems from a combination of outstanding features and an incredibly affordable price point. The brand offers a variety of breast pump models, including the 9 Plus, S1, S2, and manual M2 pumps. However, today we will focus on how to use the electric breast pumps.
How to Use a Spectra Breast Pump Effectively
– Place a warm compress on your breasts or massage them for a few minutes before you start pumping. This will help stimulate milk flow and soothe any breast soreness.
– Choose the cycle and suction level, as well as the massage mode that works best for you to maximize efficiency. Make sure you feel comfortable during the process.
– First, turn on the pump and press the start button. Then, select the massage mode to stimulate milk flow (this mode has a fast and gentle rhythm). After massaging for about 2 minutes, press the button to switch to the expression mode.
+ You can increase/decrease the cycle speed.
+ Increase/decrease the suction level if you feel pain.
How to Assemble a Spectra Breast Pump
Before and after each use, ensure all parts of the breast pump are thoroughly cleaned and sterilized. Wash your hands before assembling and using the pump.
– First, insert the white valve into the flange. Be gentle, as the white valve is made of silicone and is thin and easily torn.
– Attach the bottle to the flange, twisting clockwise.
– Attach the backflow protector to the flange.
– Connect the tubing (as shown).
– Plug the power adapter into a wall outlet and connect the other end to the pump. The correct connection code is indicated on the bottom of the pump. Use only the original adapter.
Common Issues When Using a Breast Pump
If your breast pump produces little or no milk, try the following suggestions:
- First, check that you have assembled the pump correctly and that the tubing is not kinked or blocked.
- Check the battery level of the breast pump. Low battery power can result in weak suction.
- If you are using the breast pump with a direct power source, make sure you are using the correct adapter that came with the pump.
- If the pump still does not work and the on/off button continues to blink after following these instructions, contact Customer Service for warranty support.
