How do I set up and assemble the Elvie Double Electric Breast Pump?
Setting up the Elvie Double Electric Breast Pump is simple. Begin by charging the pumps using the included USB cables. Once charged, connect the pumps to your phone using the Elvie Pump app. With a fully charged pump, disassemble the parts for cleaning before you start assembling. Ensure that the pumps are properly aligned and tightly sealed to prevent any leakage during the pumping session.
Can I use the Elvie Double Electric Breast Pump without the app?
While the Elvie Pump app enhances the overall experience, you can still use the breast pump without it. Without the app, the pump will operate in default mode, enabling you to control the suction and cycle settings remotely from the pump. However, using the app allows you to monitor real-time milk volume, track pumping history, and customize pumping settings according to your preferences.
How long should I pump for maximum efficiency?
The duration of each pumping session may vary from woman to woman. However, it is generally recommended to pump for about 15-20 minutes per breast, or until your breasts feel empty. It’s important to find a routine that works best for you and your body’s needs. Some mothers prefer shorter sessions multiple times a day, while others prefer longer sessions fewer times a day.
How do I ensure maximum comfort while using the Elvie Double Electric Breast Pump?
Comfort is crucial during pumping sessions. The Elvie Double Electric Breast Pump offers multiple sizes of breast shields, allowing you to find the perfect fit. Make sure that the breast shields are centered around your nipples, creating a proper seal. Adjust the suction levels according to your comfort level and start with a low setting, gradually increasing it until you find the perfect balance of both comfort and milk extraction.
How can I increase milk supply while using the Elvie Double Electric Breast Pump?
There are several ways to boost milk supply while using the Elvie Double Electric Breast Pump. Firstly, ensure you are well-hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day. Secondly, make sure you have a relaxed and comfortable environment during pumping sessions as stress can impede milk production. Lastly, try pumping in the morning when milk supply tends to be higher. Utilize the massage mode in the pump to encourage letdown and improve milk flow.
In conclusion, the Elvie Double Electric Breast Pump provides nursing mothers with flexibility and convenience. By following the provided instructions for setup, assembly, and pump durations, you can maximize your pumping efficiency.
