- Once milk begins to flow do not touch your pump and allow the container to fill with milk.

Tips:
If you are struggling to get your pump going, place a warm flannel across the top of your breast and gently massage while your pump is attached. This will encourage your let down. Also catch your milk that would otherwise be lost in a breast pad by attaching your pump while feeding your baby on the other side.
