What should I pay attention to when using an automatic breast pump? In fact, there are many points to pay attention to when using an automaticΒ breast pump. The details are as follows:
1. Pay attention to the cleaning and disinfection of the breast pump and the method of disinfection: Please clean and disinfect the breast pump before the first use and each use. Disinfection method: Disassemble all the components of the breast pump and place it in the dishwasher or warm soap. Rinse well after washing in water. Do not use cleaning tools and detergents that contain antibacterial ingredients. The breast pump can be sterilized in the Avent steam sterilizer, or it can be sterilized by boiling it in boiling water for 10 minutes. If you use Avent steam sterilizer to sterilize, as long as you donβt turn on the sterilizer, the breast pump will stay in the sterilizer for at least 3 hours in a hygienic state.
2. Breast pump cleaning: breast milk contains a lot of fat. After the breast pump is used, it is easy to leave a large amount of grease in its accessories. This may cause the friction between the accessories to increase, easy to slip and affect the suction, so please Use a safe lotion that can dissolve grease to clean all parts of the breast pump, which will help you use it next time. After cleaning, it is recommended to use steam for comprehensive disinfection. This disinfection method is the safest and most effective and is more conducive to protecting the accessories.
3. Note that the electric automatic breast pump cannot be overused. Some mothers think that the electric automatic breast pump is omnipotent, but they do not know that if used improperly, the breast pump will also damage the nipples. If you use a breast pump without dredging the breast duct, it may become more and more blocked. In fact, the distribution of womenβs mammary ducts is like an umbrella. If the upper mammary ducts are blocked, the nipple and areola will not be able to suck milk. Because the breast pump will pressurize the breasts when pumping, it will damage the local soft tissues and cause edema over time.
