When babies breastfeed, they start with quick sucking to stimulate your milk to let-down and flow. Once your milk has let-down, the baby draws the milk out with slower, deeper sucks. While nothing can replicate exactly how a baby feeds at the breast, to simulate the natural rhythm, Lansinoh Affinity® offers two phases – the

Stimulation Phase and the Expression Phase .

Stimulation Phase (Phase 1) is a faster pumping style to trigger your milk to let down and start flowing.

Expression Phase (Phase 2) has 3 adjustable pumping styles and suction strengths that can be customized to your preferences---a unique feature of the Lansinoh Affinity

Pro Electric Breast Pump!

Before Each Use…

●

Always wash hands thoroughly with soap and water before handling the

Breastmilk Expression Set, the pump body, or other attachments.

●

Disassemble the Breastmilk Expression Set to clean. Set aside the tubing as it

● does not need to be washed or sterlised.

Do not operate the pump if liquid or moisture is visible in the tubing, but thoroughly dry it first before use if there are any signs of moisture

Cleaning Instructions

Unless otherwise instructed by your healthcare provider, follow these sterilisation and cleaning instructions.

Sterilisation

1. Prior to using the set for the first time, disassemble and boil for 10 minutes

all parts of the Breastmilk Expression Set that come into contact with breastmilk.

The Set includes all parts except for the Pump Base, Plug, Tubing and Tubing

Connector.

●

Note: Ensure you use enough water to keep parts afloat while boiling.

●

Note: Do not boil the tubing and tubing connector.

2. Remove all parts from water immediately after boiling.

3. Completely air dry before assembly and next use.

●

Note: Partially dried parts may affect operation of the pump.

Please ensure parts are completely dry before use.

Cleaning

●

Set aside the tubing and tubing connector. These items do not need to be washed or sterilised because the diaphragm prevents them from coming into contact with the breastmilk.

●

The breast cushion and containers may be cleaned in the upper compartment of your dishwasher or hand washed with dish soap in hot water. For best results, we recommend using a baby bottle brush to clean the container and a teat brush to clean the insides of the breast cushion. DO NOT use solvents or abrasives. Rinse with hot, clean water.

●

All other parts of the Breastmilk Expression Set should be hand washed to pre-

● vent loss and extend their usefulness.

To clean your breast pump, wipe the base with a damp cloth, using only water

● or mild soap.

Do not wash or sterilise the tubing or tubing connector.

●

Note: For best results, make sure the diaphragms are completely

dry before use.

●

Note: Before using the Breastmilk Expression Set, visually inspect the individual components for cracks, chips, tears, discoloration or deterioration, as this may affect the functionality of the Breastmilk

Expression Set. Please visit www.lansinoh.co.uk or call +44 (0) 113 205

4201 in the UK or contact your country distributor for further guidance and replacement parts.

Assembling the Breastmilk Expression Set

Your Breastmilk Expression Set comes preassembled in Lansinoh product packaging.

Clean Breastmilk Expression Set parts (except tubing and tubing connector) as described in the “Cleaning Instructions” section (see page 8). Once all parts are clean and completely dry, assemble the expression set as follows:

Diaphragm Cap

Diaphragm

ComfortFit™

Breast Cushions

Breast Cushion Body

White Valve

150ml Breastmilk

Collection Container

1. Place purple diaphragm on top of breast cushion body. Ensure lips on diaphragm snap tightly into gaps on the cushion body per the illustration above.

Then, snap clear diaphragm cap onto breast cushion body enclosing the purple diaphragm.

2. Push ComfortFit™ breast cushion into breast cushion body.

3. Gently secure white valve into the bottom of breast cushion body.

Note: Use caution when handling and cleaning the small white valve (see page 8).

4. Screw collection container onto breast cushion body.

5. Insert tubing into back of Diaphragm Cap; ensure tight fit.

6. Insert tubing connector between the sets. Place tubing input into the pump.

Pumping Tips

The most important part of successful pumping is the ability to trigger the let-down reflex. This is when your milk begins to flow freely. Warm wet compresses applied to the breasts and gentle, circular massaging of the breasts prior to and/or during a pumping session can help encourage this natural reflex. Thinking of or looking at your baby, or a photo of your baby if you are apart, can also be helpful. You also may wish to try the Lansinoh Therapearl

3in1 Breast Therapy which can help with your milk let-down.

Some mums can achieve more than one let-down during a pumping session. You may be able to achieve a second or third let-down during your pumping session by returning to the let down (Stimulation) phase by pressing the Let-down Button .

How Long To Pump

Whilst the Affinity

Pro can be used as a single breast pump, double pumping compared to single pumping, will reduce the time you spend expressing your milk.

Breastmilk is produced on a supply and demand basis and by expressing your breastmilk regularly, your body will be stimulated and you will be able to maintain your milk supply. Just like with breastfeeding, it is not necessary to time your pumping sessions though you will get a better sense of the time it takes for your body to express your milk using a breast pump. If you have any breastfeeding or breastpump related questions, consult with your Midwife, Health Visitor or other health care professional or visit www.lansinoh.co.uk.

Pumping and Feeding Tips

●

You may pump one breast while nursing the baby on the other. This allows you to maximize pumping effectiveness, using the let-down reflex stimulated by your baby’s sucking

●

You may pump into any standard sized screw-top bottle or container

●

Should you choose to use the Lansinoh bottle with a teat of your own, please take the following precautions:

●

Always test the temperature of any liquid before feeding your baby

●

Do not let a child take a bottle to bed or self feed without supervision

●

To prevent possible choking hazard, test strength of the nipple by pulling on the bulb portion. Discontinue use if any tear or crack appears

• You may also want to to try the Lansinoh

mOmma

bottle, featuring the

NaturalWave™ teat - which is clinically proven to help babies maintain established breastfeeding patterns - allowing your baby to go from breast to bottle and back again.

Using the Lansinoh Affinity

Pro

Electric Breast Pump

The Adjustable Difference

Your Lansinoh Affinity

Pro Breast Pump allows you to select a pumping style and adjust the suction levels separately to identify the settings that are most comfortable for you. You would use the pumping style selector button to select a style.

Then adjust the suction levels with the and buttons to the level which is most comfortable for you.

For Single Pumping

Remove one tube and close the tubing connector. Make sure that the plug is placed into the pipe outlet properly and pushed in securely. Then follow the instructions below from step 2.

For Double Pumping

1. Make sure all tubes are attached to the tubing connector

2. Hold the Breastmilk Expression Set to your breasts so that the nipple is aligned to extend straight toward the nipple tunnel of the breast cushion. Make sure the breast completely fills the breast cushion so that a vacuum is formed and no air escapes. If you experience friction or

discomfort on your nipples, you may need a different size cushion. Larger size cushions are also available. For more details, please call

+44 (0)113 205 4201 visit www.lansinoh.co.uk or contact your Country Distributor.

The Breastmilk Expression Set and nipple tunnel must tilt slightly downward to allow milk to flow naturally toward the bottle.

3. Press and hold the On/Off Button for a few

seconds to turn the pump on. Breast Pump will start in the let-down (Stimulation) Phase .

After two minutes, the let-down (Stimulation)

Phase will automatically change and put you into

Pumping Style 2 in the Expression Phase .

The let-down icon will disappear from the LCD display and the expression icon will appear.

If you prefer to bypass the pre-set two minute let down (Stimulation) Phase or your milk lets down sooner than two minutes press the Let-Down

Button to move to the Expression Phase , where you can separately select the pumping style and suction levels.

Note – the Pumping Style Indicator will appear in the display to indicate that you are in the

Expression Phase and the let-down indicator

will disappear.

Using the Affinity

Pro Breast Pump

The pumping styles can be changed using the pumping style button . Pressing this button will switch between the three styles.

Note – if at any time the suction on your breast reaches uncomfortable levels, reduce the suction level by pressing the button on the left side of the LCD screen. You can control suction levels in both phases by pressing the and

buttons.

4. When a pumping session is finished, turn the pump off with the on/off button.

After turning the pump off, the display will remain on for a few seconds. Make sure there is no suction on the nipple(s) before removing the breast cushions from the breast. If necessary, break the suction by inserting a finger between the breast cushion and the breast. Once the suction is broken, the breast cushion can be removed safely.

Please note: LCD display back light will automatically switch off if no control buttons are pressed for 20 seconds in order to save power. If the pump unit is left switched on and unattended for more than 60 minutes, the control system will automatically switch the power off. You have to press and hold the power-on button in order to switch the unit back on again.

NOTE: If the suction on your breast reaches uncomfortable levels,

reduce the suction level by pushing the Suction button, or dis-

connect the tubing connector from its tubing input on the electric pump base.

Power Options

The pump may be operated under any of the following power supply modes:

AC Adapter (included)

Connect the AC adapter to the power connector socket located on the right side of the pump.

Plug the AC adapter into an available electrical outlet.

Electrical safety can only be achieved when the breast pump is connected to the AC Power

Adapter supplied with the product.

(See “Technical Data” section, page 14-15 )

6 AA Alkaline Batteries (not included)

Make sure the batteries are inserted correctly according to the polarity (+) and (-) as indicated.

Close the compartment by gently pressing the cover until it snaps into place.

Remove batteries if pump is not in use for a long period of time. Dispose of batteries according to regulations for environmental protection and recycling. Replace all batteries at the same time.

Please note that the pump is not designed to be used with rechargeable batteries.

Do not mix old and new batteries. Do not mix alkaline and standard (carbon-zinc) batteries. If batteries are in the pump, but AC adapter is in use, the pump will use the adapter to power the pump, not the batteries. For the most economical use, we recommend using your pump with the AC adapter provided. Your AC adaptor is a universal AC plug adaptor type and can be used with 100 V to 240V systems with

50Hz and 60Hz mains.

Breastmilk Storage Guidelines

Breastmilk Storage and Thawing Guidelines

For Healthy Term Babies

Check with your healthcare professional, Midwife or Health Visitor for specific storage instructions.

When you are freezing your breastmilk, do not fill containers more than ¾ full to allow for expansion from freezing. Date containers with the date you expressed your milk for future reference.

Breastmilk Storage Guidelines

Note: DO NOT store breastmilk in freezer door. The door tends to be the warmest part of the freezer.

Date all breastmilk and use the oldest breastmilk first.

Thawing

Thaw frozen milk in the refrigerator or place the containers under cool running water, gradually warming the water until the milk is thawed. Thawed milk can be kept in a refrigerator for up to 24 hours.

NOTE: DO NOT refreeze milk once it is thawed.

Gently shake thawed milk before feeding to baby to mix the layers that have separated. Breastmilk is not homogenized and the “cream” will rise to the top of the bottle. Breastmilk can vary in color and consistency depending upon the time of the day that the milk was expressed, what you have eaten, and the age of the baby at the time of pumping.

NOTE: DO NOT MICROWAVE HUMAN MILK! Microwaving alters the composition of the milk. Microwaving also may create “hot spots” in the milk that could burn the infant.

NOTE: DO NOT thaw breastmilk in hot or boiling water.

Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting the Lansinoh Affinity

Pro Electric Breast Pump

Interruption of Electrical Service

If you experience an interruption in the normal operation of the electrical and/or mechanical functioning of the pump, simply do the following:

■

Unplug the AC adapter cord from the electrical outlet.

■

Wait a few seconds, and then plug the AC adapter cord back into the electrical outlet.

If you still experience electrical failure, try using the pump with the six AA batteries making sure the AC adapter is removed.

Discomfort While Pumping

If you feel any discomfort, you may need a different size breast cushion.

Visit www.lansinoh.co.uk or call +44 (0) 113 205 4201 in the UK or contact your country distributor.

Decreased Suction

If it feels like the suction has decreased, try the following:

■

Remove the tubing from pump and place a finger over the tubing connector. If you feel suction, the pump is operating properly, but the Breastmilk Expression Set may not be correctly assembled or the white valve may be damaged. If no suction is felt on your finger, try unplugging the adapter from the electrical outlet, wait a few seconds, and plug it back into the electrical outlet.

■

Make sure the Breastmilk Expression Set has been properly assembled. Check the

■ assembly information in the section “Assembling the Breastmilk Expression Set”, on page 9

Inspect the white valve for a tear or pinhole. This component is critical to achieving proper

■ suction. Replace the white valve with one of the spare valves provided with the product.

When single pumping, check the tubing connector on the front of the pump to make sure

■ it is closed for single pumping. If open, close the connector.

If double pumping, ensure that the breastmilk expression set is on both breasts before starting the pump.

Increased suction level for single pumping:

If it feels like the suction is higher than usual when single pumping, check that the plug for the pipe is clean and that the airway in the plug is not blocked.
