Ardo Alyssa expresses in two phases: the stimulation and the expression modes, which
imitate the sucking behaviour of the baby. This means a rapid cycle (suction frequency) with
low vacuum (suction level) to stimulate the let-down reflex and a high vacuum with a slow
cycle for efficient suction.
A rapid cycle (suction frequency) and low vacuum (suction level) start the breast milk flowing
or trigger the let-down reflex.
Slower cycle (suction frequency) and high comfortable vacuum (suction level) for efficient
expressing of breast milk once the let-down reflex has been triggered.
