Positioning Within Your BraPAGE 17CORRECT NIPPLE POSITION & FLANGE SIZINGEnsure nipple is centered in the Breast Flange and not bent or pinched o. If the tip of the nipple hurts while expressing, check that the nipple is in the center of the Flange.CORRECT POSITIONINCORRECT POSITIONFINDING THE IDEAL BRA FIT FOR YOUBra fit is critical to the proper use of this device because your bra must do the job that your hands would be required to do with a traditional pump.1. Before choosing a bra, pump by holding the Freemie Cups in place with your hands. Consider how much pressure you normally apply against your breasts to pump and observe the optimal position and orientation of the Cups on each of your breasts. Most moms are not perfectly symmetrical, and improper positioning or pressure on one or both breasts may result in low output. It is important to practice and experiment with different bras to figure out how to make the Cups work well and effectively for you. The pressure needs to be consistent throughout your pump session such that no gaps occur. Be aware that the pressure needed may be different when your breasts are full versus when they are emptying. A sports bra works well for many women2. Be sure your bra keeps the Freemie Cups in an upright position and does not allow the devices to slip around, sag downward, or tilt off to the side during use as a loss of suction may occur.3. Make sure you achieve a good consistent seal between the Breast Flanges and your skin.4. Make sure the Freemie Breast Flange opening is centered over the nipple when placed inside your bra.

Dime17.91 mmHalf Dollar30.61 mmQuarter24.26 mmFinding Your Best Flange FitFinding Your Best Flange FitFinding the best Breast Flange fit cannot simply be done by measuring your nipples because some nipples stretch more than others under suction. You can estimate your size, but some trial and error may be needed for you to optimize your comfort and milk output. Experiment to find the right fit and keep in mind: • You may need a dierent size than the Flanges provided. • You may need a dierent size for each nipple because no one is perfectly symmetrical. • You may prefer higher suction, making Flange comfort crucial. • Your nipple may expand in diameter and length while pumping and may change over time, so keep all of your sizes.Flange is too small for the nipple to move freely in and out of Flange. May cause rubbing or chafing.Comfort is key! It may take a few tries to find what works. The Breast Flange size is measured across the opening that your nipple fits into.Flange is too big allowing too much breast and areola tissue to be drawn into Flange. May cause bruising.Flange is correct size when the nipple moves in and out of the Flange freely. Choosing Another Size Use a ruler or coin diameters to estimate your erect nipple base size. Choose the nearest size Flanges or Fitmie inserts that are slightly larger than your nipples.Internal Diameter is measured across the opening.25mm28mmPAG E 20 Fitmie soft inserts for pumping comfort, available in sizes 15mm – 26mm.

Troubleshooting TipsPAGE 24Loss of Suction• Make sure pump is turned on, motor is running, and suctionlevel is turned up to your regular setting.• Make sure that parts are correctly assembled and ﬁttogether snugly. Check that you have seated the Barrieronto the mounting ridge on the back of the Breast Flange.Do not vary assembly instructions.• If the ﬁt between the Valve Base and Flange is loose,try replacing the Valve Base with a new Valve Base, and/orre-boil the hard cup parts.• If suction has diminished, try replacing the Valves with newValves. This part should be replaced approximately every2 – 3 months to maintain good suction.• Check the Tubing, Y-Connector and L-Connectorfor obstructions.• Make sure L-Connectors are pushed securely intoBreast Flange (round) ports.• Make sure Breast Flange is securely pressed against breastcreating a seal around nipple and is properly seated in bra.Check that no bra material or Tubing is between the Cupsand your skin. Nipple should not be bent or pinched insidethe Breast Flange, and Cups should not be tilting upward,downward, or o to the side.Breasts Not Emptying• Always center Breast Flange over nipple. If the BreastFlange is o the center of the nipple you may impede milkrelease, experience loss of suction, or prevent the completeemptying of the breast.• Try adjusting the position of Freemie. Comfortably positionyour body to help create the best seal between Freemieand your skin. Experiment with your body position bysitting up straighter, leaning forward a little, or pulling yourshoulders back.• The Breast Flanges come in the standard 25mm and28mm.
