Operating the breast pump
1
Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water and make sure that
your breast is clean.
2 Press the assembled pump body against your breast. Make sure that
your nipple is centered, so that the cushion creates an airtight seal.
3 Gently start to press down the handle until you feel the suction on your
breast (Fig. 10). Then allow the handle to return to its resting position.
Repeat this step rapidly 5 or 6 times to initiate the ‘let-down’ reex.
Note: You do not have to press down the handle fully. Press it down
as much as is comfortable for you. Your milk will soon start owing, even
though you are not using all the suction the pump can generate.
4 When the milk starts owing, adopt a slower rhythm by pressing down
the handle and keeping it pressed down for a moment before you let it
return to its resting position. Continue with this rhythm while your milk is
owing. If your hand becomes tired, try to use the other hand or pump
from the other breast.
Note: Do not worry if your milk does not ow immediately. Relax and
continue pumping. Repositioning the breast pump on your breast from
time to time can help stimulate milk ow.
5 Continue pumping until you feel your breast is empty.
6 When you have nished expressing, carefully remove the breast pump
from your breast and unscrew the bottle or storage cup from the pump
body. Clean the other used parts of the breast pump (see ‚Cleaning and
disinfecting‘).
After use
Warning: Only store breast milk collected with a clean and
disinfected pump.
If you intend to feed your baby with the expressed breast milk within
4 days, you can store the breast milk in the refrigerator in an assembled
Philips Avent bottle or storage cup. Otherwise, you can store breast milk in
the freezer for up to 6 months.
1 To store the breast milk: close the bottle with the sealing disc and screw
ring (Fig. 11).
2 To prepare the bottle for feeding your baby: place a teat in a screw ring
and screw the assembled screw ring onto the bottle. Seal the teat with
the bottle cap (Fig. 12).
3 In case a storage cup is included with the manual breast pump, screw
the lid onto the storage cup. Make sure you properly close it to avoid
leakage (Fig. 13).
4 Disassemble and clean all parts that have been in contact with breast
milk (see ‚Cleaning and disinfecting‘).
Note: For safe use of bottles and storage cups, please read the
separately provided user manuals.
Warning: Refrigerate or freeze expressed milk immediately, label
with date and time, or keep it at a room temperature for a maximum
of 4 hours before you feed your baby. Never refreeze thawed breast
milk to avoid a decrease in milk quality. Never add fresh breast milk
to frozen breast milk to avoid a decrease in milk quality and
unintended thawing of the frozen milk.
Note: For more information about the breast pump and tips for
expressing milk, visit www.philips.com/avent.
