1. Introducing the Manual Breast Pump

The Manual Breast Pump is a breakthrough in breast pump design. Its silicone diaphragm provides 100% reliable vacuum, whilst the

Let-down Massage Cushion naturally imitates your baby’s suckling action to provide fast milk flow – silently, 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.

Your Manual 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 silent and discreet you can take it with you anywhere, allowing you to express milk at your own convenience and maintain your milk supply.

Since the AVENT Bottle and Teat are specially designed to mimic breastfeeding, your baby will switch easily between breast and bottle. This allows mothers to continue providing breast milk to baby even when they return to work.

3. Cleaning and sterilisation

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

Separate all parts, then wash in the dishwasher or in warm soapy water and rinse. Do not use antibacterial or abrasive cleaners/ detergents. Sterilise in a Philips AVENT Steam Steriliser (Electronic,

Electric or Microwave), or by boiling for 5 minutes.

AVENT Steam Steriliser, the pump sterile in the steriliser for a minimum provided the lid is not removed.

4.Keeping your breast pump sterile for travel

After sterilising 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) and screw on the sealing base (n) in place of the VIA Cup and Adaptor.

5.Using the Manual Breast Pump with the AVENT Feeding Bottle

Simply replace the VIA Cup and Adaptor with the AVENT Feeding Bottle. To make the pump completely stable insert the bottle into the funnel cover (a).

6.How to assemble the Manual Breast Pump

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

1)Wash your hands thoroughly. Insert the white valve (g) into the pump body (f) from underneath.

2)Place the pump body (f) onto the VIA Adaptor (h). Twist gently clockwise until secure. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN!

3)Place the assembled pump body and VIA Adaptor onto the VIA Cup (i).

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 around the rim by pressing down with your fingers to ensure a perfect seal. (This is easier if assembled whilst wet.)

5)Place the forked end of the handle (e) under the diaphragm 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 whilst wet.)

7)Click the pump cover (c) onto the pump body (f). To make the pump completely stable, insert the VIA Cup into the VIA Lid/Stand (j).

7.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 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 milk, e.g.

a)Early in the morning when your breasts are full, just before or after your baby’s first feed.

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

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

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

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

2)Having your baby or a photograph of your baby nearby can help encourage ‘let-down’.

3)Placing a warm cloth on the breasts for a few minutes before you start pumping can encourage milk flow and soothe painful breasts.

4)Warmth and relaxation can encourage milk flow. Try expressing after a bath or shower.

5)Try expressing from one breast while your baby is feeding from the other, or continue expressing just after a feed.

6)Repositioning the pump on the breast from time to time can help stimulate your milk ducts.

Practice with your pump to find the best technique for you. However, if the process becomes very painful, stop and consult your breastfeeding advisor.

9. 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 sterilised 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 no suction.

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 VIA Cup between strokes.

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 very painful or uncomfortable, you should stop using the pump and consult your health professional or breastfeeding advisor.

9)Whilst some women may prefer to use the pump without the Letdown Massage Cushion, extensive trials show that, in most cases, the massaging effect of the petals flexing in and out around the areola stimulates the let-down reflex and allows you to express more milk, faster.

10)On average you will need to pump for 10 minutes to express 60-125ml or 2-4oz. However, this is just a guide and varies from woman to woman.

If you find that you regularly express more than 125ml/4oz per session, please use a 260ml/9oz AVENT Bottle or 240ml/8oz VIA Cup.

Do not overfill VIA Cups or AVENT Feeding Bottles and keep upright, otherwise milk may leak from below the pump body.

10.Storing your breast milk

•Expressed milk should be refrigerated immediately and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to

48 hours (not in the door) or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

•VIA Cups are pre-sterilised for immediate use and should be sterilised before each subsequent use.

VIA Lids and Adaptors should be sterilised before

first and every use. We recommend using VIA Cups several times and to discard if showing signs of wear and tear.

•Only milk collected with a sterile pump should be stored and fed to your baby.

•If you are storing milk in the fridge to add to during the day, only add milk which has been expressed into a sterile container. Milk can only be kept like this for a maximum of 48 hours (from first expression) after which it must be used immediately or frozen for future use.

•For products other than breast milk make feeds up fresh when needed, following the manufacturer’s instructions.

•VIA Cups have twist on lids for leakproof storage and transport for your convenience.

Storing your milk in the fridge

If your expressed breast milk will be fed to your baby within 48 hours, it can be stored in the fridge in an assembled VIA Feeding System

or AVENT Feeding Bottle. Assemble a sterilised teat, screw ring and dome cap and attach onto the VIA Adaptor and Cup or the body of the AVENT Bottle (see below).

Storing your milk in the freezer

To store in the freezer use a sterilised VIA Lid to seal the VIA Cup. You can write the date and time of expression on the cups so that older milk can be 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.

11. Feeding your baby your expressed breast milk

To feed your baby, replace the VIA Lid with a sterilised

VIA Adaptor, screw ring, dome cap and AVENT Teat.

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.

Breast milk can be heated in the same way as any

other bottle feed. Stand the VIA Feeding System or AVENT 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. IMPORTANT! Milk or food will heat faster in VIA Cups than in

standard feeding bottles/containers. Check milk or food temperature before feeding.

Never heat milk or food 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 or VIA Cup in boiling water as this may cause it to crack/split.

Never put boiling water directly into a VIA Cup. Allow to cool for

around 20 minutes before filling.

12. Choosing the right teat for your baby

AVENT Teats can be used on both the VIA Feeding System and

AVENT Feeding Bottle. AVENT Teats are clearly numbered on the side to indicate flow rate.

13. Troubleshooting Guide

Lack of suction	Check that all the pump components have been
	assembled correctly and that 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.

No milk being expressed	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.

Pain in the breast area when expressing

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.

Milk is drawn up the Let-down Massage Cushion

Remove and refit the Let-down Massage Cushion ensuring it is firmly attached and pushed far enough down the funnel. Try leaning slightly forward.

Cracking/discolouration of	Avoid contact with antibacterial or abrasive detergents/
pump parts	cleaners as these can damage the plastic. Combinations
	of detergents, cleaning products, sterilising solution,
	softened water and temperature fluctuations may, under
	certain circumstances, cause the plastic to crack. If this
	occurs, do not use. Contact Philips AVENT Customer
