Tips for Using the Motif Aura Hands-Free Wearable Breast Pump
Find the Right Fit
Try the different flange sizes and silicone inserts provided to find the most comfortable fit for you. A good fit ensures efficient milk expression and reduces discomfort.
Charge Fully Before First Use
Make sure to fully charge the pump before your first session to maximize battery life. A full charge offers over 2 hours of pumping time.
Practice Positioning
Practice placing the pump inside your bra to ensure a secure fit. Proper positioning helps maintain suction and comfort while you go about your day.
Use the App for Control
Download the Motif Medical app to control pump settings and track your sessions. This makes it easier to adjust suction levels and monitor your pumping progress.
Keep It Clean
Regularly clean all parts of the pump that come into contact with milk. The closed-system design with backflow protection helps maintain hygiene and prevent contamination.
Start on a Lower Suction Setting
Begin your pumping session on a lower suction setting and gradually increase it as needed. This can help you find the most comfortable and effective level for milk expression.
Check Battery Level
Keep an eye on the battery level, especially if you’re planning to be out for an extended period. Recharge the pump as needed to ensure it’s ready when you are.
Wear a Supportive Bra
For a well-fitting, supportive bra helps keep the pump in place and ensures optimal suction. Avoid bras with underwires that might interfere with the pump’s positioning.
Store Milk Safely
Use the collection bottles to store your expressed milk. Label and date each bottle to keep track of freshness, and store them in a refrigerator or cooler if you’re on the go.
Monitor Your Supply
Regularly track your milk supply using the app. This can help you identify patterns and make adjustments to your pumping routine as needed.
Avoid Over-Pumping
Stick to your regular pumping schedule to avoid over-pumping, which can lead to discomfort or reduced milk supply over time.
