Cimilre S6 Breast Pump: How to Set Up and Use It

Quick answer

To get started with the Cimilre S6, assemble the collection kit, attach the bottles, and follow the simple on-screen prompts to choose your suction level and begin pumping.

Step-by-Step Setup and Use

1. Wash and sterilize all parts: Before first use, wash the collection kit, bottles, and valves in warm soapy water and sterilize according to the manufacturer's instructions. This prevents contamination and ensures hygiene. Check that all parts are completely dry before assembly to avoid moisture buildup.
2. Assemble the collection kit: Attach the breast shield to the valve, then connect the valve to the bottle. Ensure the valve is pushed in firmly to create a good seal. If you have a spare kit, you can assemble both sides ahead of time. A loose valve is a common cause of weak suction—double-check the fit.
3. Connect the tubing and power on: Insert the tubing into the connectors on the pump and the collection kit. Plug in the power adapter or insert batteries if applicable. Press the power button to turn on the pump. Make sure tubing is not kinked or pinched, as this can reduce suction.
4. Position the shields and start pumping: Center each shield over your nipple and hold it in place. Start with a low suction level and gradually increase to a comfortable setting. The S6 offers precise control over suction levels, so adjust until you feel a gentle tug without pain. If pumping hurts, stop and recheck the shield size and suction level.
5. Store your milk properly: Once you finish pumping, pour the milk into Cimilre Storage Bottles or another BPA-free container. Label with the date and time, then refrigerate or freeze. Remember that bottle nipples and caps are not included with the storage bottle set, so use the provided discs and covers. Always use milk within the recommended storage times to ensure safety.
