Similar to other products, using the Spectra breast pump correctly is essential for optimal performance and durability. Proper usage, assembly, and hygiene practices are key to maintaining the pump's longevity and effectiveness.
Spectra stands out as a mid-range breast pump brand, highly favored by mothers today. With notable features and an incredibly affordable price, it's no wonder why many choose various models such as 9 plus, s1, s2, m2 manual pumps... Today, we'll focus on how to effectively use the electric breast pump.
Effective Usage of Spectra Breast Pump
– Place a warm compress on the breast or massage for a few minutes before starting the pumping session. This promotes milk flow and alleviates breast discomfort.
– Choose the appropriate pumping cycle, suction pressure, and massage mode for enhanced efficiency. Ensure comfort during usage.
– Start by turning on the machine and pressing the power button. Then, select the pre-pumping massage mode to stimulate milk flow (this mode has quick and gentle pulses). After about 2 minutes of massage, press the button and switch to the pumping mode.
+ Adjust pumping cycles as needed
+ Increase/decrease suction strength if discomfort is felt
Installing the Spectra Breast Pump
Before and after usage, ensure that all parts of the breast pump are thoroughly cleaned and sterilized. Wash hands before assembling the pump and using it.
– Start by attaching the white valve to the suction funnel. Be gentle, as the white valve is made of silicone and is very thin, making it prone to tearing.
– Attach the milk bottle to the suction funnel and twist it clockwise.
– Install the milk flow stopper into the suction head.
– Connect the air tube (as shown in the picture)
– Plug the power cord into the socket and connect the other end to the machine. The standard connection code is written under the machine. Only use genuine adapters.
Common Issues When Using a Breast Pump
If your breast pump yields insufficient or no milk, try following some of our troubleshooting tips.
- Firstly, check if you have correctly and securely installed the pump, ensuring no obstructions in the tubing.
- Check the battery level of the breast pump, as weak batteries can result in decreased suction power.
- If using the breast pump with direct power, ensure that you use the correct adapter provided with the machine.
- If the machine remains non-functional and the on/off button continues to blink after following our instructions, it's time to contact the Customer Care Center for the best warranty support.
We hope some information on using the Spectra breast pump has somewhat assisted all the mothers out there.
