Directions

Assembly:

Size S:

1. Insert the small tube through the hole on one side on the small flow switch. Pull it through the hole and adjust the length as needed.
2. Snap the tube into the slot on the other side. Pull the tube into the "Close" position.

Size L:

1. Roll the controller wheel to the end. Push the large tube through the wide opening of the large flow controller.
2. Pull the tube to its desired position, then roll the flow controller wheel to the other end, ensuring there are no gaps.

Both:

Firmly push the PP connector into the silicone cap, ensuring the protruding end of the connector is aligned with the matching opening in the cap. Check there are no gaps.

TIP: Use only the same size tube and flow switch/controller together. Mixing different sizes may affect performance and cause damage.

PLEASE NOTE: Tubes, flow controller, connector and cap come assembled. In the event that reassembly is needed, please refer to assembly instructions listed above. The small flow switch is designed to start/stop milk flow and does not adjust speed. We recommend pulling the tube upwards to the "Open" position when the bottle is empty and the tube is not in use to avoid potential deformation.

Feeding:

1. Clean the product and your hands before use. Fill pouch with supplemental milk. Push the silicone cap and connector firmly into the pouch opening.
2. Insert the tube's wide opening firmly onto the protruding duct on the PP connector. Ensure flow controller/switch is set to the slowest setting to avoid leakage.
3. Place the pouch upside down and tie around your bra strap using the secure tie. Adjust position as needed.
4. Place the end of the tube 0.5cm away from your nipple and secure with the included medical tape.
5. Introduce your baby to your nipple. Place the end of the tube gently into their mouth to begin feeding.
6. Size S: To start milk flow, gently pull the tube along the groove to fit the "Open" position. To pause the flow, pull the tube inside the groove into the "Close" position.
7. Size L: To start milk flow, gently roll the flow controller wheel. Adjust the position to manage the milk flow speed until you find your baby's preferred rate.

PLEASE NOTE: If storing milk inside the pouch, replace the cap and connector with the leakproof pouch stopper. Always follow your country's guidelines and recommendations for safely storing breastmilk.

Cleaning & Care

• Before first use, disassemble and clean all parts of this product before placing silicone components in boiling water for five minutes to sterilise. Wash before and after each subsequent use.
• To clean the tubing, fill pouch with warm soapy water and connect the feeding tube as normal. Turn the pouch upside down and squeeze to let water flow through the tubing. Squeeze several times to flush through. Squeeze and roll tube between your fingers to ensure thorough cleaning.
• To rinse the tubing, fill pouch with drinking-quality water and connect the tube. Turn pouch upside down and squeeze the water through the tube. Repeat as necessary until clean. If any water is trapped inside the tubing after cleaning, drain the water from pouch, connect the tube then squeeze to flush it out. Clean tubing as soon as possible after feeding to prevent milk drying inside. It is important all residual moisture dries.
• To clean other parts of the product, although dishwasher safe, we recommend hand washing in warm soapy water, rinsing and drying thoroughly.
