FAQs

Does the package include a power adapter?

No, the package includes a USB-C cable, but you will need to provide your own standard USB-C power adapter.

How many pumping sessions can I get on one charge?

The battery is designed to support approximately 10 pumping sessions before requiring a recharge.

How do I know which insert size to use?

Use the included nipple sizing card to measure your nipple diameter. Choose the insert that provides a snug but comfortable fit without pinching.

Can I use this pump while lying down?

While the pump is spill-proof, it is designed for use in an upright or slightly reclined position for the most efficient milk flow.

Is the pump dishwasher safe?

Parts that come into contact with breast milk should generally be washed by hand with warm soapy water to ensure longevity, though you should check the user manual for specific component material care.

Troubleshooting

The pump is not producing suction

Check that the silicone parts are correctly assembled and that the shield is fully flush against the skin for a proper seal.

Milk is leaking from the unit

Ensure the cup is properly sealed and that the breast shield is aligned correctly. Inspect for any worn silicone components that may need replacement.

The battery is not holding a charge

Confirm the USB-C cable is fully seated and the power source is active. If the issue persists, ensure the motor unit is not exposed to extreme temperatures.
