Bloome Complete is designed to support you throughout your pumping and breastfeeding routine. Double pump with Bloome when expressing, use MilkCatch+ to collect natural let-down when breastfeeding or between sessions, and wear the reusable nursing pads for everyday leak protection.
Follow the steps below for a quick overview. For complete product instructions, please refer to the relevant user manual.
Before First Use
- Wash and sterilise all washable Bloome pump parts and MilkCatch+ components according to their individual care instructions.
- Wash the reusable nursing pads at a maximum of 40°C and allow them to dry completely before wearing.
- Check all pump and MilkCatch+ components are clean, completely dry and free from damage before use.
Using Your Bundle
Double Pumping with Bloome
1. Assemble both pumps, making sure the valves, diaphragms, collection cups and cushions are securely fitted with no gaps.
2. Place one pump inside each side of your bra and centre each nipple in the cushion tunnel. The pumps should sit snugly against your breasts to maintain suction.
3. Keep both pumps upright. Press and hold the power button on each pump to switch it on, then press and hold again to begin pumping.
4. Choose between Wake, Rhythm, Flow and Surge modes using the M button and adjust the suction using the + and – buttons until it feels comfortable. Each pump can be adjusted independently.
5. If you would like to use warmth, press the heating button and select your preferred temperature level (H1–H4).
6. When you have finished pumping, switch off each pump, gently release the seal with your finger and remove the pumps while keeping them upright.
Collecting Natural Let-Down with MilkCatch+
1. Assemble each MilkCatch+ by inserting the collection cup securely into the silicone pad.
2. Centre your nipple in the opening and place the collector inside your bra.
3. Wear one MilkCatch+ on the opposite breast while breastfeeding or single-side pumping, or wear both to collect natural leakage between feeds and pumping sessions.
4. Check the milk level regularly and empty the collector before it becomes full. Pour collected milk into a suitable bottle or storage bag using the easy-pour spout.
5. Remove the collectors every 2–3 hours to allow your nipples to air dry.
For Everyday Leaks
Place a clean, dry reusable nursing pad inside each bra cup for soft, absorbent protection between feeds and pumping sessions. Change the pads whenever they become damp to help keep your skin dry and comfortable.
After Use & Care
Bloome Pumps
- Wash all washable parts that come into contact with breast milk after every pumping session.
- Wash with warm water and mild washing-up liquid, rinse thoroughly and allow to dry completely.
- Sterilise washable components regularly by boiling for 5 minutes or using a suitable steam or microwave steriliser.
- Never wash, sterilise or immerse the motor units or heating pads in water. Wipe clean only.
MilkCatch+
- Disassemble and wash all parts after every use with warm water and mild washing-up liquid.
- Rinse thoroughly and allow to dry completely before reassembly or storage.
- Sterilise by boiling for 2–3 minutes or using a suitable steam steriliser.
- Do not use bleach-based sterilising agents, sterilising tablets or UV sterilisers.
Reusable Nursing Pads
- Machine wash on a gentle cycle at a maximum of 40°C, preferably inside a laundry bag.
- Wash with similar colours and do not use fabric softener.
- Do not tumble dry. Allow the pads to dry completely before reuse.
Good to Know
- Pumping should never be painful. Reduce the suction level or stop pumping if you experience discomfort.
- Keep Bloome upright during pumping and monitor the amount of milk in each 180 ml collection cup.
- MilkCatch+ collects naturally leaking milk but does not create suction or stimulate let-down.
- Do not wear MilkCatch+ continuously for more than 3 hours, and remove the collectors every 2–3 hours to allow your nipples to air dry.
- Milk collected over an extended period in MilkCatch+ should not be fed to your baby.
- Change reusable nursing pads whenever they become damp.
- Inspect all reusable components regularly and replace any parts that become worn or damaged.
- Bloome and MilkCatch+ are intended for single-user use only.
