How to Use the Hygeia Nova Luxe

Getting Started: First Time Setup

1. Charge your pump: Connect the rechargeable battery to the USB charging cable and charge fully before first use (approximately 2–3 hours).
2. Assemble the parts: Attach the breast flanges to the collection bottles, then connect to the pump body. Ensure all seals are tight and secure.
3. Choose your flange size: Proper flange fit is critical for comfort and milk expression. Your nipple should move freely in the cup with about 1–2mm of space on all sides. Standard sizes are usually 24–27mm, with larger sizes available.
4. Review the manual: Familiarize yourself with the controls, suction settings, and recommended pumping duration (typically 10–15 minutes per session).
5. Test the suction: Before pumping, test the suction strength at low levels to ensure comfort and proper seal.

Pumping Session: Step-by-Step

1. Prepare: Wash your hands and rinse pump parts with cool water (if reused from earlier sessions). Pat dry thoroughly.
2. Warm up: Apply a warm compress to your breasts for 2–3 minutes to stimulate letdown and increase milk flow. Gentle massage helps too.
3. Position yourself: Sit comfortably and securely. Lean slightly forward to help gravity assist milk flow.
4. Create the seal: Center the flange on your breast, creating a light seal around the areola. The pump should feel snug but not painful.
5. Start at low suction: Turn on the pump and begin at the lowest suction setting. Gradually increase to a comfortable level — not the highest setting, but strong enough to trigger letdown.
6. Use the dual-phase rhythm: The Nova Luxe automatically cycles between stimulation (quick, shallow) and expression (slower, deeper) phases. This mimics your baby's nursing pattern and promotes efficient milk removal.
7. Pump until milk slows: Continue for 8–15 minutes per breast, or until milk flow slows significantly.
8. Finish with hand expression: After the pump, gently hand express for 1–2 minutes to fully empty the breast. This maximizes output and helps maintain supply.
9. Store your milk: Label the collection bottle with date and time, then refrigerate (up to 4 days) or freeze (up to 6–12 months depending on freezer type).

Tips for Maximizing Output

• Warm up your breasts: Warmth increases milk flow and makes letdown faster. Use warm compresses or hold a warm washcloth before pumping.
• Massage while pumping: Gentle breast massage during pumping helps move milk through the ducts and increases total expression.
• Find your comfort zone: Not the highest suction — just enough to trigger letdown and feel comfortable. Too much suction causes pain and can reduce supply over time.
• Stay relaxed: Tension reduces milk flow. Take deep breaths, relax your shoulders, and think about your baby or look at a photo of them.
• Pump consistently: Regular pumping (every 3–4 hours if exclusively pumping) maintains supply. Skipping sessions can reduce output.
• Ensure proper flange fit: An incorrect size means less efficient milk removal and potential discomfort. Use our flange sizing guide or consult a lactation specialist.
• Stay hydrated and nourished: Drink plenty of water and eat nutritious foods. Hydration directly impacts milk supply.

Care & Maintenance

Daily Cleaning

• Rinse all parts in cool water immediately after use
• Use a bottle brush to clean the collection bottle and connectors
• Wash all parts with warm soapy water
• Rinse thoroughly with clean water
• Air dry on a clean paper towel or drying rack (do NOT use paper towels that shed lint)

Weekly Sanitizing

• Boil all parts for 5–10 minutes in water
• Or use a microwave steam sterilizer (2–5 minutes)
• Or run through a dishwasher sterilizer cycle (check that parts are dishwasher-safe)
• Allow parts to dry completely before storing

Battery Care

• Charge the pump regularly to maintain battery health
• Avoid letting the battery completely drain before recharging
• Store the pump in a cool, dry place when not in use
• If not using for extended periods, charge the pump monthly to maintain battery capacity

Storage Tips

• Store in a clean, dry container away from direct sunlight
• Keep at room temperature (not in hot cars or freezing temperatures)
• Check regularly for any cracks, discoloration, or wear
• Replace any damaged parts immediately
• Keep the carrying case handy for easy transport
