Congratulations on your purchase and welcome to Philips AVENT! To fully benefit from the support that Philips AVENT offers, register your product at www.philips.com.cn/AVENT.

This Philips AVENT single electric breast pump is small and lightweight, and can be carried around easily. The Let-down Massage Cushion naturally imitates your baby's suckling action to provide fast milk flow - silently, comfortably, and gently. The five suction modes allow you to choose the suitable suction strength, so you can express your milk comfortably and thoroughly. This breast pump is also designed to separate the milk flow from air flow, which keeps milk out of the silicone tube. This ensures your milk is hygienic, and makes the pump easy to keep clean.

Doctors recommend that breast milk is the best nutrition for babies during the first year, combined with solid food after the first six months, You milk is specially adapted to your baby's needs and contains antibodies which help protect your baby against infection and allergies. Your single electric breast pump will help you breast-feed 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 cannot be there to give it yourself. As the pump is easy to assemble, silent and discreet, you can take it with you anywhere, allowing you to express milk at your own convenience and maintain your milk supply.

• Warmth and relaxation can encourage milk flow. Try expressing after a warm bath or shower.
• Try expressing from one breast while your baby is feeding from the other, or continue expressing just after a feed.
• Repositioning the pump on the breast from time to time can help stimulate your milk flow.

Tip

- Practice with your pump to find the best pumping techniques for you. If the process becomes painful, stop and consult your breast-feeding advisor.

8 When to express milk

If possible, wait until your milk supply and breast-feeding schedule are well established, normally at least 2-4 weeks after birth, unless told otherwise by your doctor or breast-feeding advisor. The exceptions are:

• If you are expressing milk for your baby to be given in hospital.
- If your breasts are engorged (painful or swollen). You can express a small amount of milk before or between feeds to east the pain, and to help your baby latch on more easily.
- If you have sore or cracked nipples and you may wish to express your milk until they are healed.
- If you are separated from your baby and wish to continue to breast-feed when you are reunited. You should express your milk regularly to stimulate your milk supply.

Right times of the day to express your milk

• Early in the morning when you breasts are full, just before or after your baby's first feed.
  • After a feed, if your baby has not emptied both breasts.
• Between feeds or in a break if you have returned to work.
