If you have are using a second-hand pump, then you will need to check that all the necessary parts are there. I’d also consider replacing parts such as the valves and breast shields as per Momcozy’s maintenance guidelines.

While replacing valve membranes, duck valves, and breast shields may incur an additional cost, it is crucial to uphold the hygiene and efficiency of your pump during each pumping session.

Also, you will need to ensure that you have the correct flange size for your nipple size. This may need to be purchased separately.

Components

Before you start using the Momcozy S9 Pro breast pump, it’s essential to have a clear understanding of its components and controls.

Here’s an in-depth overview:

Breast Pump Motor: The main unit of the Momcozy S9 Pro contains the motor and power source. It’s the heart of the pump, responsible for creating the suction necessary for milk expression.

Milk Collection Cup: These are the containers that collect the expressed breast milk.

Breast Shield/Flange: A breast shield, also known as a flange, is the funnel-shaped part that fits over your breasts. They come in various sizes to accommodate different breast shapes. Properly fitting breast shields is crucial for comfort and efficient milk expression.

There are also different flange sizes available that insert into the breast shield to change the sizing.

Diaphragm: This is a small flat, circular membrane which is part of the valve system.

Linker: This connects the diaphragm, valve, and flange together.

Valve: This component helps create a one-way valve system that controls the flow of milk from your breast into the collection bottle.

USB Cable: The USB charger is pluged into your pump motor and power source to recharge your breast pump.

Power Button: The power button is used to turn the breast pump on and off.

LCD Screen: The LCD screen displays important information, such as suction level, pumping mode, and battery status.

Suction and Mode Control Buttons: These buttons allow you to adjust the mode and suction level according to your comfort and milk flow.

Assembly

Assembling the Momcozy S9 Pro breast pump correctly is crucial for its efficient operation.

When you purchase your pump, it will come in already assembled in the box. I think this is great as you can see how it is all meant to go together.

However, you will need to dissemble the pump and sterilize prior to use.

Maintaining proper hygiene during the setup of your Momcozy S9 Pro breast pump is essential to ensure the safety of your breast milk and your overall health.

Here are some hygiene tips to follow:

Wash your hands thoroughly before touching any pump components.
Disassemble the pump parts that come into contact with your breast milk (breast shields, valves, membranes, and collection bottles) after each use and wash them with warm, soapy water. Rinse and air dry or use a clean, dry cloth or paper towel.
Sterilize these components regularly, especially if you are using the breast pump multiple times a day. You can do this by boiling them for a few minutes or using a steam sterilizer.
Ensure that the breast pump unit and tubing remain dry and free from moisture or milk residue.
Store your breast pump and its components in a clean, dry place when not in use to prevent contamination.

Now once your breast pump has been cleaned and sterilized you can look to reassemble it ready for your first pumping session.

Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you reassemble your S9 Pro:

Step 1

Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water before handling any components.

Step 2

Put the silicone diaphragm into the linker. You will want to ensure that there is a good seal.

Step 3

Connect the silicone valve to the end of the linker, again making sure a sufficient seal.

Step 4

Attach the assembled linker part to the milk collector cup and align the ‘ear’ notch of the linker with the inner groove of the milk collector cup. Ensure a secure fit.

Step 5

Connect the flange/breast shield with the main body of the collection cup. I like to ensure a good seal by pressing my thumbs around the rim.

Step 6

Press in the pump motor to the top of the collection container.

Step 7

Turn on the Momcozy S9 Pro breast pump by pressing the power button. You will see the LCD screen light up.

Now, your breast pump is ready for pumping breastmilk, but first make sure to familiarize yourself with the pump’s controls, including the suction level and mode settings.

Buttons and LED Screen

There are 4 buttons used to operate the Momcozy S9 Pro, with an LED screen that provides valuable information during your pumping sessions.

Here’s what you need to know about how to use Momcozy pump settings for your S9 breast pump:

On/Off Button: You can turn your pump on and off or pause it with the power symbol button.

To turn your pump on or off, long press the power button.

Short press the power button to pause. You can then press any button to un-pause and continue your pumping session.

Suction Level: The screen displays the current suction level. You can typically increase or decrease this level to find the right intensity for your comfort and milk expression.

The + button will increase the suction level and the – button will decrease it.

The level you are on will be displayed by a number on the screen.

Pumping Mode: There are two pumping modes on the S9 Pro, stimulation mode for stimulating letdown and expression mode for efficient milk removal. The LCD screen will indicate the current mode.

The heart symbol represents the stimulation mode and the droplet symbol represents the expression mode.

You can switch between the two modes with the circular arrow button.

Battery Status: If your breast pump is battery-powered or has a rechargeable battery, the screen will display the remaining battery life. This is the stacked bars symbol with 4 bars solid white representing a full battery.

Error Messages: The LCD screen may display error messages if there are any issues with the pump, such as a blocked tube or low battery.

Suction Levels and Modes

The Momcozy S9 Pro comes with 2 modes and 9 different suction levels.

The two pumping modes are stimulation mode for initial breastmilk stimulation and expression mode for milk removal.

The stimulation mode usually has a faster rhythm to encourage letdown at the start of your pumping session, while the expression mode operates with a slower, more consistent suction pattern during the main part of your pumping session.

During both the stimulation and expression modes you are able to adjust the suction strength with the 9 different suction levels, from gentle to strong.

I highly recommend experimenting with different levels to find what feels comfortable and effective for you. Start with a lower suction level and gradually increase it until you find the right balance.

Just keep in mind that the strongest setting may not be the most beneficial for milk extraction as it is also strongly connected to your comfort levels.
