If you’re a new mom in Pakistan, juggling household chores, guests, sleepless nights, and feeding sessions a wearable breast pump might just be your biggest relief.

No more wires, no tubes hanging out, no being stuck to a wall socket.

But one question keeps coming up in our WhatsApp inbox:

“How exactly do I use a wearable pump correctly?”

In this guide, we break down the step-by-step process, share expert tips, and show you how to get the best results quietly and comfortably.

First: What is a Wearable Breast Pump?

A wearable pump (like the ones from Muminity.pk) is:

• Cordless
  
  

• Hands-free
  
  

• Fits inside your bra
  
  

• Rechargeable
  
  

• Discreet and quiet
  
  

• Ideal for busy or working moms
  
  

Unlike traditional pumps, wearable ones let you move, relax, or multitask while pumping.

Step-by-Step: How to Use a Wearable Breast Pump the Right Way

Step 1: Wash and Sterilize All Parts

Clean your:

• Flanges (also called breast shields)
  
  

• Milk containers
  
  

• Suction valves
  
  

How: Use warm soapy water and rinse well. Boil parts or use a sterilizer before first use and once daily after.

Pro Tip: In Pakistan’s summer, dry with a clean cloth don’t leave wet parts exposed.

Step 2: Wear a Supportive Nursing Bra

Choose a non-padded bra that fits snugly but doesn’t squish.
Why? Because a tight or loose fit can:

• Disrupt suction
  
  

• Lead to leakage
  
  

• Cause discomfort
  
  

Bonus: Wear dark colored tops if you're pumping around others it adds confidence.

Step 3: Center the Flange Correctly on Your Nipple

This is the most important step.
A wrong fit can:

• Cause pain
  
  

• Reduce milk output
  
  

• Leave you frustrated
  
  

How to check:

• Nipple is centered inside the tunnel
• Not rubbing the sides
• No skin being pulled in painfully

Step 4: Power On and Start in Massage Mode

• Press the power button
  
  

• Begin with massage mode to stimulate letdown
  
  

• Switch to expression mode after 2–3 minutes
  
  

Most Muminity pumps have 9 suction levels always start low and gradually increase.

Pro Tip: More suction ≠ more milk. Comfort is key.

Step 5: Pump for 15–25 Minutes per Session

• Let milk flow for at least 10–15 mins
  
  

• Continue for 2–5 minutes after milk stops dripping
  
  

Don’t rush or overdo it. Over-pumping can cause soreness.

Step 6: Carefully Remove and Transfer Milk

Once done:

• Gently detach pump
  
  

• Pour milk into a clean storage bottle or bag
  
  

• Label with date and time
  
  

Avoid shaking the milk swirl gently to mix cream layers.

Step 7: Wash Immediately After Each Use

• Don’t leave milk residue sitting
  
  

• Wash all parts that touched milk
  
  

• Let them dry fully before next session
  
  

Consider buying 2 sets of pump parts for easier rotation.

Pro Tips to Maximize Output

1. Massage Your Breasts Before Pumping
   Stimulates ducts and improves letdown.
   
   

2. Pump After Morning Feed
   Supply is highest early in the day.
   
   

3. Stay Relaxed
   Scroll your phone, listen to nasheeds, or sip chai. Stress = lower milk.
   
   

4. Track Sessions
   Use a simple notepad or app to log times and output.
   
   

5. Maintain a Routine
   Your body responds best to consistency.
