What are the Medela Silicone Breast Milk Collector cups?

They are placed over the nipple to collect breast milk losses, so that not a drop of your milk is lost during feedings.

Medela milk collection cups are made with materials suitable for the skin and the shape of the body, which makes their use comfortable and discreet.

When should Medela Silicone Breast Milk Collector cups be used?

Milk collection cups can be used during feedings to collect milk losses, and also between feedings to avoid moisture stains.

You just have to remember that you should remove them every two or three hours and let your breasts air dry, as this prevents any excess moisture from damaging the nipples.

And avoid using milk collection cups in bed at night, since it can cause skin sensitivity. Instead, you can use disposable nursing pads to absorb heavy milk losses , or Ultra Thin disposable absorbent pads if your flow is smaller.

How to use the breast milk collected with the Medela Silicone Breast Milk Collector cups?

• Only breast milk collected during feedings should be used to feed the baby.
• Milk collected between feedings should be discarded.
• When removing the milk collection cup, lean slightly forward.
• Next, use the cup's special pouring hole to transfer the breast milk collected during feeding to a sanitized container, such as a breast milk bottle or storage bag.
• If you are not going to give this milk to your baby immediately, put the container directly in the refrigerator and use the milk within 24 hours.

How to clean the Medela Silicone Breast Milk Collector cups?

• Separate the pieces and place them in a small saucepan with cold distilled water. If you don't have distilled water, add a teaspoon of citric acid to tap water to prevent lime deposits from forming.
• Boil the water with the milk collection cups for five minutes.
• Carefully remove the water and let the pieces dry on a clean cloth.

It is also important to clean the milk collection cups after each use:

• Separate the pieces and wash them with a mild detergent.
• Next, rinse them well with cold water and let them dry on a clean cloth.
• Both the outer cup and the inner membrane are dishwasher safe, so you can also use this cleaning method, or you can use a microwave-safe bag.

How to use the Medela Silicone Breast Milk Collector cups

1. The soft, flexible silicone membrane is designed to be gentle on the skin. Place it on the outside of the glass, securing it around it.
2. After assembly, place the milk collection cup inside the bra, with the membrane opening centered over the nipple. Its practical opening should be oriented upwards.

It is advisable to use a nursing bra with the milk collection cups. It usually has more space than a normal bra, which means that the cups put less pressure on the breasts.
