Momcozy M6 Components

Before you start using your new Momcozy M6 Mobile Style 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 M6 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.

Flange: A flange is the funnel-shaped part that sits on your breasts and has a funnel to accommodate your nipple. They come in various sizes to accommodate different breast shapes. Properly fitting breast shields is crucial for comfort and efficient milk expression.

On the M6 breast pump, the breast shield is a combination of a hard and soft silicone.

There are also different flange insert sizes available that insert into the flange to reduce the sizing of the flange tunnel.

Diaphragm: This is a silicone membrane which is part of the valve system.

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 plugged 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.

Momcozy M6 Assembly

Properly assembling the Momcozy M6 breast pump is essential for its optimal performance.

When you receive your pump, it will come pre-assembled in the packaging, which is convenient for understanding its configuration. However, before using it, you should disassemble and sterilize the pump.

Maintaining proper hygiene while setting up your Momcozy M6 breast pump is crucial for protecting the integrity of your breast milk and your overall well-being.

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 (flanges, flange inserts, valves, membranes, and collection cups) 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 motor remains 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 assemble your Momcozy M6 Mobile Style pump:

Step 1

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

Step 2

Attached and secure the diaphragm to the milk collection container. You want to apply mild pressure around the edge to ensure that the diaphragm’s seal is in place correctly.

Step 3

Firmly push the silicone valve to the end of the flange. Make sure there are not gaps and there is a sufficient seal.

Step 4

Connect the flange with the main body of the collection cup.

To do this you will need to line up the pouring spout and lift the flange over the spout of the cup first. Then firmly push the flange into the collection cup until it clips into place.

I like to ensure a good seal by pressing my thumbs around the rim to ensure it is securely in place.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Turn on the Momcozy M6 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.

Momcozy M6 Buttons and LED Screen

The Momcozy M6 breast pump features four buttons and an LED screen that provides useful information during your pumping sessions. Here’s how to control your breast pump:

On/Off Button: This button, marked with a power symbol, allows you to turn your pump on and off or pause it.

To turn the pump on or off, press and hold the power button.
To pause the pump, press the power button briefly. Press any button to unpause and continue your session.

Suction Level: The LED screen displays the current suction level, which you can adjust for your comfort and optimal milk expression.

Press the + button to increase the suction level.
Press the – button to decrease the suction level.
The current level will be shown as a number on the screen.

I highly recommend experimenting with different suction 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.

Pumping Mode: The Momcozy M6 has three pumping modes:

Stimulation Mode: For stimulating letdown.
Expression Mode: For efficient milk removal.
Mixed Mode: Combines features of both modes with a unique vibration feature.

The LCD screen will indicate the current mode:

The heart symbol represents the stimulation mode.
The droplet symbol represents the expression mode.
When both symbols are visible, the pump is in mixed mode.

You can switch between the three modes using the circular arrow button.

Battery Status: The battery life of the Momcozy M6 breast pump is shown at the bottom of the LED screen. When fully charged, it displays three bars. A low battery is indicated by a blinking bar.

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.

Using the Momcozy M6

Once you’re ready to start pumping with the Momcozy M6, it is a relatively straightforward process.

Here are the key steps to follow when using the Momcozy M6:

Step 1: Wash Your Hands

Clean your hands thoroughly with soap and water to maintain hygiene.

Step 2: Assemble the Pump

Make sure you have sterilized and assembled your pump, and it’s ready for use.

Step 3: Place the Flange

Position the flange (including flange insert if needed) over your breast, ensuring your nipple is centered and can move freely within the shield. Create a gentle seal by pressing the shield slightly against your breast.

Step 4: Secure Your Pumping Bra

One of the great features of the Momcozy M6 is its wearable design, allowing it to fit snugly into your bra without any cords.

Once you’ve positioned the pump over your nipple, make sure your bra is securely fitted. Use a stretchy pumping bra that holds the pump comfortably, not too loose and not too tight.

Step 5: Turn On the Pump

Press the power button on the Momcozy M6 to turn it on. The LCD screen will light up, and you’ll see the current settings.

Step 6: Select Pumping Mode and Adjust Suction Level

Choose the pumping mode that fits your needs:

Start with the massage mode to stimulate letdown. I recommend beginning with a level 2 or 3 for about 2 minutes. Once your milk starts flowing, switch to the expression mode for efficient milk removal.
For expression and mixed modes, start with a low suction level and gradually increase it until you find a comfortable and effective setting. You should feel a gentle pulling sensation, not pain. Use the expression or mixed mode for around 15 to 20 minutes.

Step 7: Monitor

Keep an eye on your milk flow during the session. This will help you troubleshoot any issues, such as the low milk output or low suction power.

Step 8: Turn Off the Pump

After you’ve finished pumping, turn off the pump by pressing the power button. If you forget, don’t worry, there’s a 30-minute auto shut-off feature.

Step 9: Remove the Pump

Gently break the seal between the flange and your breast with your fingers. Lean forward slightly when removing the pump to avoid any spillage.

Step 10: Pour the Breast Milk into a Storage Container

Since you can’t store milk in the collection cups, transfer it into a suitable storage container. First, remove the motor, then carefully pour the milk into your container. The Momcozy M6’s handy pouring spout makes this process easier.

The Momcozy M6 also has a flat base so you can stand it upright whilst removing your second pump, without spilling any of your precious milk.

Step 11: Clean Your Pump

After your pumping session, make sure to wash all the parts that have come into contact with your breast milk to maintain hygiene.

Step 12: Check the Battery Levels

Once you’re done, I recommend checking the remaining battery life. If needed, recharge the pump so it’s ready for your next use. The charging port is located at the back of the pump motor.

Step 13: Store

After cleaning, I recommend adding your flange covers and storing your pumps back in the hard shell carry case, ready for your next use.

Momcozy M6 Replacement Parts

There are certain parts of your pump that will require regular replacement to maintain their performance. These mostly include the silicone valves, diaphragms, and flange insert.

If you notice that your pump seems to have lost suction, the first thing you should do is take a look at your pump parts, particularly the valves, and inspect for wear, fraying, or stretching and replace if needed. You can learn more in my guide on how often should you replace breast pump parts.

Momcozy recommend that silicone accessory parts such as your valves and diaphragm are replaced every 1-3 months.

Other accessories are recommended to be replaced according to usage.

Here is the full list of Momcozy M6 replacement parts available:

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Although the Momcozy M6 is a reliable breast pump, you might run into some common issues. Here’s a guide to help you troubleshoot and resolve these problems:

Low Milk Output

Ensure you’re using the right breast shield size for your nipple.
Adjust the suction level and mode to suit your comfort and milk flow.
Try breast compressions or gentle massage during pumping to encourage milk flow.
Stay well-hydrated, maintain a balanced diet, and get enough rest to support milk production.

Pain or Discomfort

Check that the breast shield fits properly; it shouldn’t be too tight or too loose.
If the suction level is causing discomfort, lower it.
Consider applying lanolin-based nipple cream or using a warm compress before pumping.
Make sure your breast positioning prevents nipple irritation against the shield.

Loss of Suction

Verify that all pump components, including valves and membranes, are properly assembled and securely sealed.
Replace any worn or damaged parts like valves and membranes.
Ensure the breast shields are firmly attached to your breasts.

Milk Overflow

Monitor the milk flow during pumping and turn off the pump when the collection cups reach about 4 oz.
Keep the pump at an appropriate angle to avoid milk overflow.

Noise or Vibration

Ensure all components are securely assembled and in good condition.
Place the breast pump on a stable, level surface to reduce vibrations.
If you experience excessive noise or vibration, contact Momcozy customer support as it may indicate a malfunction.

While troubleshooting can resolve many issues, sometimes you might need additional help.

In such cases, I recommend checking the Momcozy M6 manual for guidance.

If that doesn’t resolve the problem, reach out to Momcozy’s customer support. They offer expert advice, troubleshooting assistance, and information on warranty coverage and replacement parts to ensure you have a smooth pumping experience.
