Breastfeeding

Before using the MAM Manual Breast Pump for the first time, all parts that will come into contact with the breast and breast milk must be taken apart, cleaned and sterilised.
Cleaning the breast pump following pumping is easy and uncomplicated thanks to the low number of parts. It is important to first disassemble the breast pump into all of its individual parts.
It can be cleaned by hand with warm, soapy water or in the dishwasher (in the top rack or in the cutlery compartment). MAM recommends cleaning the valve body and the valve membrane by hand.
Allow all parts to dry completely before using.

Each individual part of the breast pump must be sterilised before the first use as well as once a day.
They can be placed in a pan of boiling water for at least five minutes, in an electric steriliser or in a microwave steam steriliser, as well as in sterilising fluid without heat.
It is important to disassemble the breast pump into all of its individual parts before sterilising and to allow these to completely cool and dry before use.

The expressed milk can be stored for 24 hours in the MAM Anti-Colic – with teat and sealing cap or with the sealing discs – in the fridge (not in the door). This means that the milk is on hand immediately.

In order to store milk for up to three months, the MAM Storage Solution was developed: In the smart cups the milk can be stored hygienically and safely. It can then be frozen and simply defrosted when required.

The MAM Anti-Colic and MAM Storage Solution can be screwed directly onto the Manual Breast Pump – this ensures that every drop of the precious milk is safely captured.

Note the date of expression directly on the MAM Storage Solution – the MAM designers have provided an area for you to do this. This means that the oldest milk can always be used up first.

Frozen milk defrosts easily overnight in the fridge or at room temperature.
To warm it up, the best option is to pour the breast milk into the bottle and simply warm it up in a waterbath or in a baby food warmer. Remove the sealing cap to do this!

MAM Nipple Shields are sterilised before they are first used and when necessary. This can be done using boiling water, a steam steriliser or a commercially available sterilising solution.

MAM Nipple Shields come in a smart, sterilisable storage box. They are then stored safely and hygienically at all times.

Before using your pump for the first time and after each use, it is recommended, to separate, clean and sterilise all pump components that come into contact with breast milk. (Do NOT wash or sterilise the electric pump motor and keep it dry.):

1. Disassemble your pump
2. Wash all washable components by hand or in the dishwasher.



3. Sterilise the cleaned pump parts in boiling water, in an electric or microwave steam steriliser or in cold sterilising liquid.
4. To clean the electric pump unit, unplug the appliance, switch it off and wipe it with a clean, damp cloth. The appliance must not be immersed in water.
5. Allow all parts of the pump to fully cool and dry before next use.

For more information on cleaning and sterilising please read the printed instruction leaflet that you received with your MAM Move or the instructions on our Website

For hygiene purposes, please wash your hands thoroughly before assembling the breast pump.

1. Make sure all parts are dry before putting them together.
2. Attach the diaphragm (3) to the transparent funnel adapter (2).
3. Attach the valve (4) to the transparent funnel adapter (2).
4. Push the well assembled transparent funnel adapter (2) into the electric pump unit (1) until you hear it click. Make sure its assembled in place.
5. Attach the milk collector (9) to the transparent funnel adapter (2) by screwing the milk collector anti-clockwise. The end position is indicated by markings on both the milk collector (9) and the transparent funnel adapter (2). Important: Make sure to not overscrew – this could damage the thread.
6. Push the silicone funnel (5) into the transparent funnel adapter (2). For correct alignment, pay attention to the three markings on the edge of the silicone funnel (5), which should align with those on the electric pump unit.

MAM Move offers four different funnel sizes: A silicone funnel (∅ 24 mm) with three smaller size inserts (∅ 21 mm, ∅ 17 mm, ∅ 15 mm). If the standard funnel (∅ 24 mm) is too big for you, one of the three inserts can be placed in the center of the funnel.
In order to find the right funnel size for you, measure the size of your nipple (not your areola) at the end of a pumping or breastfeeding session and select the corresponding funnel.

Tips for getting the best fit:

• The best size will fit around your nipple (no areola) closely.
• If you have elastic (stretchy) nipples a snug fit is very important.
• If you have flat nipple, sometimes looser sizing can be more comfortable.
• If you have been using the wrong funnel size and have swollen or damaged nipples, you may need to let your nipples settle to visualize size accurately.
• Funnel fit is very unique as every nipple behaves differently during pumping. Plan to try different sizes along your pumping journey to find the best fit.

MAM Move Wearable Breast Pump offers three different pumping modes:

1. Stimulation mode, produces a short, quick pumping rhythm which stimulates the milk flow,
2. Expression mode, for efficient milk expression and
3. Silent mode, for extra discreet and peaceful pumping.

To switch between the three modes press the Mode button.

Every of the three modes can be adjusted to five different levels of suction strength, giving control over what feels comfortable and works most efficiently in every mode.

1. Wash your hands with soap and your breasts and nipples using a warm wash cloth and clean fresh water.
2. Squeeze a little bit of milk out of each nipple to make sure the milk ducts are not clogged.
3. Ensure that all parts of the pump are clean and disinfected.
4. Make sure that the pump is properly assembled and fully screwed onto the milk collector.
5. Ensure that the battery is fully charged.

MAM Move is designed to be worn with your standard nursing bra. The pump needs to be firmly pressed against your breast, there should be no gaps between pump and breast. Every bra has a different level of support, so make sure to get the compression right before each session. If you are using a particularly structured and inflexible bra, the included Bra Adjuster may be used to create more room:

Once the buckle of each end is attached to the nursing bra, adjust the length of the Bra Adjuster so that the pump fits securely and comfortably in your bra.

MAM Move Wearable Breast Pump can be used in either a sitting or standing position.

The milk collector of MAM Move collects up to 150ml / 5 oz per pump. The time it takes to pump depends on your individual milk flow.

The battery of MAM Move lasts for two hours (depending on the chosen Mode and intensity level), it takes one and a half hours until the pump is fully charged.

• Charge immediately after finishing your pumping session if lower battery is indicated.
• The remaining battery power can be checked by pressing the + and - buttons simultaneously for 2 seconds and counting how many indicators light up (the pump has to be switched off). Each indicator represents about 20% remaining power.

Each MAM Move contains an extra valve and an extra diaphragm, as we are aware that such small parts can easily get lost. You can find the spare parts in a plastic bag in the small carton box inside your Move packaging.

If you require additional replacement parts due to damage or loss, please contact our customer service.
