Welcome to Bubka Basics!

Hey there, Bubka mum! We know you're juggling a lot with bubs in your arms or chasing after them. You need a pump that's quick and easy, not something that keeps you tied down.

Step-by-Step Assembly Guide:

Finding the Right Flange Size:

Before starting with Bubka, it's crucial to choose the right flange size. We offer sizes: 17mm, 19mm, 21mm, 24mm, and 27mm.

Cleaning and Sterilising Your Bubka Breast Pump:

1. Wash all silicone parts (excluding the motor) with warm, soapy water. Clean between uses to remove milk residue and prevent bacteria growth. Remember to plug in the motor with the USB cable to keep it charged.
2. Sterilise all parts by boiling for 5 minutes or using a steam steriliser. Do not exceed 100°C. Sterilise at least once a day or between uses if preferred.
3. Air dry or use a clean towel to thoroughly dry all parts.
4. Once everything is clean and your motor is charged, you’re ready to start pumping!

Choosing the Right Pumping Mode:

• The OG Bubka Breast Pump offers 2 modes: Massage and Expression.
• The Bubka Pro 2 Breast Pump includes 4 modes: Massage, Auto, Lactation, and Expression.

Massage mode: Gently stimulates milk flow with rhythmic suction, mimicking a baby's natural suckling to encourage let-down.

Expression mode: Provides a slower, more intense suction for effective milk extraction. Use this after achieving let-down with massage mode.

Lactation mode (Bubka Pro 2 only): Mimics a baby’s nursing rhythm with 3 short suctions followed by 1 long suction, promoting milk production and efficient extraction.

Auto mode (Bubka Pro 2 only): Automatically transitions from Massage to Expression Mode. It starts with light suction to stimulate milk flow and increases suction to maintain let-down.

Summary of Pump Modes:

• Lactation mode: Simulates a baby's suckling pattern, enhancing milk production and efficient expression.
• Expression mode: Focuses on effective milk extraction with long suction.
• Massage mode: Initiates the process and promotes let-down, making pumping more comfortable.
• Auto mode: Automatically shifts from Massage to Expression for a seamless pumping experience.

Charging Your Bubka Breast Pump:

The OG Bubka provides up to 80 minutes of use per charge, while the Bubka Pro 2 offers up to 100 minutes. Charge your pump between every second use or at the end of the day. USB charging allows for convenient recharging, even in the car!

Storing Your Breast Milk:

Use Bubka Milk Storage Bags to keep your milk fresh. Made from BPA-free food-grade silicone, these pre-sterilised bags are safe for fridge or freezer storage. Each bag holds 250ml of milk and includes write-on labels for easy tracking. Reusable and cost-effective, Bubka Bags have a lower carbon footprint compared to disposable options.
