Before your very first pump, here’s what to do:
- Fully charge your pump motors using the USB-C cables
- Wash and sterilise all the parts that touch milk (anything made from plastic and silicone)
- Use the flange sizing card to find your best fit (this is extremely important
- Pop on a supportive nursing bra - snug but comfy
💡 Bubka Hack - Pumping upright really helps with milk flow & getting your flange size right is a game changer. If pumping feels uncomfortable, it’s usually incorrect flange size.
Let's get pumping...
Once everything is cleaned and sterilised, and your motor is charged - Check this video, you’re ready to pump!
💡 Bubka Cleaning Hack - Check out our Portable Cleaning Kit, Steam Sterilsier Bags, Breast Pump Wipes
- Assemble the pump (duckbill valve and diaphragm installed into the milk collector then install the breast shield)
- Close the silicone stopper on the pour spout
- Place the pump inside your bra, making sure your nipple is centred. Do this before adding the motor so you can see what you’re doing.
- Attach the charged motor until it clicks
- Long-press the power button to turn it on - Check this video to see how to toggle between modes
Not getting much milk?
- Double-check flange fit and alignment. It’s so important the the pump is centred on your nipple. A sure sign of this is if you can feel a letdown in the first few minutes of pumping and, after pumping there is so damage to your nipple.
- Sit upright
- Start low on suction and build up
- Make sure valves and diaphragms are clean and secure
- Suction feels weak?
Silicone parts may need replacing - Check for milk residue making parts slippery
- Reassemble carefully and give everything a good press together.
- Leaks?
Make sure the stopper is closed - Ensure everything clicks into place and is sealed tightly. Especially the base where the collection cup meets the breastshield.
- Try not to lean forward while pumping
