How to Use a Ubinas Breast Pump

Every new mother makes personal choices regarding breastfeeding and tries out different strategies to strike a balance. While the breastfeeding may be the primary option, there are many reasons why mothers would want to breast pump. It is advisable for working mothers, for those with insufficient milk supply, for partners sharing feeding duties, and for those who want to build a stash in the freezer.

In the following guide, we will include information on when to use a breast pump, different types of breast pumps, comfort tips, cleaning the breast pump, abrasiveness, and how Ubinas breast pumps simplifies life for mothers.

💡 What is a Breast Pump?

These devices help remove milk from a breast and the extracted milk can later be stored in a bottle for feeding the baby. They are particularly useful for mothers who:

• Have to return to working
• Want to increase the supply of milk
• Have babies who can’t latch onto the breast
• Aspire to allow a caregiver or partner to take part in feeding the baby
• Plan to donate breast milk

🕒 When Should You Use a Breast Pump?

No two mothers are identical, but they do share a few common circumstances like so:

🍼 1. Postpartum Pumping

Some mothers start pumping shortly after delivery, usually when:
– The baby is a preemie or hospitalized
– You’re trying to stimulate the production of milk
– Already dealing with some engorgement

🏠 2. Transitioning Back to Work

These mothers will often pump while out of the house to maintain the amount of milk kept in the fridge for scheduled feedings.

⏳ 3. For a Long Term Milk Stash

Many mothers tend to start pumping once daily a few weeks preceding going back to work or attending a long scheduled event.

🌃 4. For Night time Feeds

When you pump milk in the evening, your partner or caregiver can give a bottle during the night so you can rest.

🛠️ How to Use a Breast Pump: Step-by-Step

Using a Ubinas electric breast pump is simple and we’ll go through it step by step. Various designs exist but the core process is generally the same.

🧼 Step 1: Wash Your Hands
Germs are removed by washing hands.

🧩 Step 2: Assemble the Pump
Refer to the manual to assemble the device. Put together the flange (breast shield), tubing, bottle and motor (for electric pumps). All assembled parts need to be clean and dry.

🪑 Step 3: Sit In The Preferred Position

Assume a comfortable posture. Some mothers prefer to recline to ease the pressure on the chest.

🤱 Step 4: Position The Flange

With the breast flange, your nipple should be at the mid-point of the breast flange while sitting over it. It needs to create a light seal as well. You may need another flange size if it is too painful or pinching.

🔘 Step 5: Start Pumping

Start up your machine for electric pumps. Most of them have a let down feature mimicking the light quick suckling of a baby during the early stages of breastfeeding.

After 2 minutes, switch to expression mode (a slower, deeper suction)

Pump each breast for 15-20 minutes or until the milk flow slows.

🍼 Step 6: Store the Milk

Milk should be transferred into a sterile bottle or milk storage bag. After marking the date and the time, it should be frozen or refrigerated when necessary.

🧽 Step 7: Clean All Parts

Separating the parts of the breast pump requires rinsing all components that came into contact with breast milk (flanges, valves, bottles) and washing them with warm, soapy water or doing sterilization. The items in question must remain completely dry in air between uses.

🎯 Tips for Successful Pumping

• Breast pumping requires looking at your baby’s photo, listening to calm music, or massaging the breasts which are critical to the process and serve as relaxation and visualization techniques.

• Always remember to pump: Adhere to a milking schedule especially when you are away from your baby.
