of this leaflet before you use your Philips AVENT manual

breast pump for the first time.

Should you ever lose these instructions, they are

valves are available direct from Philips AVENT.

The Philips AVENT manual breast pump is a breakthrough in breast pump

design. The Let-down Massage Cushion is designed to imitate your baby’s

suckling action to provide fast milk flow – quietly, comfortably and gently. The

pump is easy to assemble, discreet to use and all parts are dishwasher safe.

Doctors recommend that breast milk is the best nutrition for babies

during the first year, combined with solid food after the first 6 months.

Your milk is specially adapted to your baby’s needs and contains

antibodies which help protect your baby against infection and allergies.

A breast pump will help you breastfeed longer. You can express and store

your milk so that – whether you are out for a few hours, taking a well

deserved rest, or back at work – your baby can still enjoy the benefits

of your breast milk, even if you can’t be there to give it yourself. As the

pump is so quiet and discreet you can take it with you anywhere, allowing

you to express milk at your own convenience and maintain your milk

supply. You can continue to provide breast milk to your baby even when

5. How to assemble the manual breast pump

Please refer to diagram 6 at the beginning of this leaflet. Separate all

parts and ensure pump has been cleaned as in section 3:

1) Wash your hands thoroughly. Click the white valve (g) into the pump body

(f) from underneath.

2) Place the pump body (f) onto the Philips AVENT feeding bottle (h).

3) Twist gently clockwise until secure. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN!

4) Place the silicone diaphragm with stem (d) into the pump body (f).

Make sure it fits securely round the rim by pressing down with your

fingers to ensure a perfect seal. (This is easier if assembled while wet.)

5) Place the forked end of the handle (e) under the silicone diaphragm and

stem (d) and push down gently on the handle until it clicks into place.

6) Carefully insert the Let-down Massage Cushion (b) into the pump funnel

(f) making sure it is perfectly sealed all round the rim of the funnel.

(This is easier if assembled while wet.)

7) Click the pump cover (c) onto the pump body (f). To make the pump

completely stable insert the bottle into the stand (a).

Before you use your breast pump for the first time and every time

Separate all parts, then wash in the dishwasher or in warm soapy

water. Do not use antibacterial cleaners/detergents.

Caution: Take care when cleaning the white valve.

If it gets damaged, your breast pump will not function

properly. To clean the white valve, rub it gently

between your fingers in warm soapy water. Do not

insert objects as this may cause damage.

Maintaining the cleanliness of your breast pump

After cleaning all parts, insert the white valve (g) and fit the

diaphragm with stem (d) onto the pump body (f). Clip the

cover (a) over the funnel and Let-down Massage Cushion (b)

on the sealing base (m) in place of the Philips AVENT

4) Placing a warm cloth on the breasts for a few minutes before you start

pumping can encourage milk flow and soothe painful breasts.

5) Warmth and relaxation can encourage milk flow. Try expressing after a bath

6) Try expressing from one breast while your baby is feeding from the other,

or continue expressing just after nursing.

7) Repositioning the pump on the breast from time to time can help stimulate

Practice with your pump to find the best technique for you. However, if the

process becomes painful, stop and consult your breastfeeding advisor. If the

pump does not come away easily from the breast, it may be necessary to break

the suction by placing a finger between the breast and Let-down Massage

Cushion or between the breast and pump funnel.

8. How to use the manual breast pump

1) Wash your hands thoroughly and make sure your breasts are clean. Gently

squeeze a little milk from each nipple to ensure milk ducts are not blocked.

2) Make sure you have cleaned and carefully assembled your pump exactly

as shown in sections 3 and 6.

3) Consult the ‘Hints to help you succeed’ section.

4) Relax in a comfortable chair, leaning slightly forward (use cushions to support

your back). Make sure you have a glass of water nearby.

5) Press the funnel and Let-down Massage Cushion of the pump firmly against

your breast, making sure that no air can escape – otherwise there will be

6) As you gently push down on the pump handle you will feel the suction on

your breast. You don’t need to depress the handle fully to create a vacuum;

only as much as is comfortable. Your milk will soon start flowing even though

you may not use all the suction the pump can generate.

7) Begin by pumping 5-6 times rapidly to initiate let-down. Then, hold the

handle down for 2-3 seconds, and allow it to return to its resting place.

These 2-3 second cycles imitate your baby’s natural suckling pattern and

allow the milk to flow into the bottle between strokes.

6. When to express milk

1) If possible, wait until your milk supply and breastfeeding schedule are well

established, normally at least 2-4 weeks after birth, unless told otherwise

by your health care professional or breastfeeding advisor.

2) The exceptions to the above are:

a) If you are expressing milk for your baby to be given in hospital.

b) If your breasts are engorged (painful or swollen), you can express

a small amount of milk before or between feeds to ease the pain

and to help your baby latch on more easily.

c) If you have sore or cracked nipples, you may wish to express your milk

until they are healed.

d) If you are separated from your baby and wish to continue to

breastfeed when you are reunited, you should express your milk

regularly to stimulate your milk supply.

3) You will need to find the right times of the day for you to express your

a) Early in the morning when your breasts are full, just before or after

your baby’s first feed.

b) After nursing, if your baby has not emptied both breasts.

c) Between feeds, or on a break if you have returned to work.

7. Hints to help you succeed

Using a breast pump takes practice – you may need to make several

attempts before you succeed, but because the breast pump is so simple and

easy to use, you will soon get used to expressing your milk.

1) Familiarize yourself with the pump and pieces prior to use.

2) Choose a time when you’re not rushed and won’t be interrupted.

3) Having your baby or a photograph of your baby nearby can help encourage

8) Milk should begin to flow after the first few strokes. Don’t worry if your

milk does not flow immediately. Relax and continue pumping.

Do not continue pumping for more than 5 minutes at a time if NO

result is achieved. Try expressing at another time during the day.

Please remember that, should the process become painful or

uncomfortable, you should stop using the pump and consult your

health care professional or breastfeeding advisor.

9) On average you will need to pump for 10 minutes to express 2-4oz or

60-125ml. However, this is just a guide and varies from woman to woman.

If you find that you regularly express more than 4oz/125ml per session,

please use a 9oz/260ml Philips AVENT feeding bottle.

Do not overfill Philips AVENT feeding bottles and keep upright, otherwise

milk may leak from below the pump body.

9. Storing your breast milk

• Breast milk can be stored in the fridge or freezer in

clean breast milk containers (Philips AVENT bottles

fitted with sealing discs).

• Only milk collected with a clean pump should be stored

and fed to your baby.

• Expressed milk should be refrigerated immediately.

• Expressed breast milk can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours

(not in the door), the freezer for up to 3 months or 6 months in a

zero-degree freezer.

• If you are storing milk in the fridge to add to during the day, only add milk

which has been expressed into a clean container. Milk can only be kept like

this for a maximum of 24 hours (from first expression) after which it must

be used immediately or frozen for future use.

Storing your milk in the fridge

If your expressed breast milk will be fed to your baby within 24 hours,

it can be stored in the fridge (not in the door) in an assembled Philips

AVENT feeding bottle. Assemble a clean nipple, screw ring and dome cap

and attach onto the body of the Philips AVENT bottle.

Storing your milk in the freezer

To store in the freezer, use an Philips AVENT sealing disc in place of the

nipple and dome cap. The storage containers should be clearly labelled

with the date and time of expression and older milk used up first.

NEVER refreeze breast milk. DO NOT add fresh breast milk to already frozen

milk. ALWAYS discard any milk that is left over at the end of a feed.

10. Feeding your baby your expressed breast milk

If breast milk has been stored in an Philips AVENT breast milk container,

replace the sealing disc with a clean Philips AVENT nipple.

Frozen breast milk should be defrosted overnight in the refrigerator.

However, in an emergency, it can be defrosted in a jug of hot water.

Once thawed use within 24 hours.

Stand the Philips AVENT feeding bottle in a bowl of hot water, or

alternatively, for a safe and fast way to warm feeds, use the Philips AVENT

bottle and baby food warmer. Always check milk or food temperature

Never heat milk in a microwave as this may destroy valuable nutrients

and antibodies. In addition, the uneven heating may cause hot spots in

the liquid which could cause burns to the throat.

Never immerse a frozen milk container in boiling water as this may cause

it to crack/split.EN

Cracking/discoloration of pump partsLost or broken partsPump does not come away easily Check that all the pump components have been assembled correctly and that the the white valve is the right way up. Ensure that the diaphragm and Let-down Massage Cushion are fitted securely to the pump body and a perfect seal is created.

Ensure suction is created and the pump is correctly assembled. Relax and try again, expression may improve after practice. Please refer to the ‘Hints to help you succeed’ section.

You may be pumping too hard. You do not need to use all the suction the pump can generate. Try depressing the handle halfway and remember the 2-3 second pumping rhythm. Consult your health professional/breastfeeding advisor.

Remove and refit the Let-down Massage Cushion ensuring it is firmly attached and pushed far enough down the funnel. Try leaning slightly forward. Avoid contact with abrasive or antibacterial detergents as these can damage the plastic. Combinations of detergents, cleaning products, sterilizing solution, softened water and temperature fluctuations may, under certain circumstances, cause the plastic to crack. If this or any other signs of aging occur, do not use. Contact Philips AVENT Customer Services for spare parts. Other items in the dishwasher may cause discoloration of the device. Keep the product out of direct sunlight, as prolonged exposure may cause discolouration.

Spare parts are available through Philips AVENT Customer Services (see back cover for contact details).If the pump does not come away easily from the breast, it may be necessary to break the suction by placing a finger between the breast and Let-Down Massage Cushion or between the breast and pump funnel.If you are still experiencing problems, please contact Philips AVENT Customer Services (see back cover for contact details). Alternatively contact your health care professional/breastfeeding advisor. EN
