1. Introducing the Philips AVENT Manual
Breast Pump
The Philips AVENT Manual Breast Pump is a breakthrough in breast pump
design. Its silicone diaphragm provides 100% reliable vacuum, while 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 Philips AVENT 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 Nipple 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 sterilization
Before you use your breast pump for the first time and every time before use:
Separate all parts, then wash in the top shelf of the dishwasher or in warm
soapy water and rinse. Do not use antibacterial or abrasive cleaners/detergents.
Sterilize in a Philips AVENT Steam Sterilizer (Electronic or Microwave), or by boiling
for 5 minutes. If using a Philips AVENT Steam Sterilizer, the pump will remain
sterile in the sterilizer for a minimum of 6 hours, provided the lid
is not removed. (Always use distilled water.)

5.Using the Manual Breast Pump
with the AVENT VIA Storage System
Simply replace the AVENT Feeding Bottle with a VIA Cup
and Adaptor. To make the pump completely stable insert
the VIA Cup into the VIA Lid/Stand.
6. 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 and sterilized 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 AVENT Feeding Bottle (h).
3) Twist gently clockwise until secure.
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

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 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 milk, e.g.
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.
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 breastpump is so simple and natural 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
‘let-down’.
4) Placing a warm cloth on the breasts for a few minutes before you start
45
pumping can encourage milk flow and soothe painful breasts.
5) Warmth and relaxation can encourage milk flow. Try expressing after a bath
or shower.
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
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 sterilized 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 bottle 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.
EN
EN
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
care professional or breastfeeding advisor.
9) While some women may prefer to use the pump without the Let-down
Massage Cushion, extensive trials show that, in most cases, the massaging
effect of the petals flexing in and out around the areola stimulates the letdown reflex and allows you to express more milk, faster.
10) 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 AVENT Feeding Bottle or 8oz/240ml VIA Cup.
Do not overfill AVENT Feeding Bottles or VIA Cups and keep upright,
otherwise milk may leak from below the pump body.
10. Storing your breast milk
• Breast milk can be stored in the fridge
or freezer in either sterile breast milk
containers (AVENT bottles fitted with
sealing discs) or in VIA Cups with Lids.
• Only milk collected with a sterile 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 sterile 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.
• For products other than breast milk make feeds up fresh when needed,
following the manufacturer’s instructions.
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 AVENT
67
Feeding Bottle or VIA Nurser. Assemble a sterilized nipple, screw ring
and dome cap and attach onto the body of the AVENT Bottle or the VIA
Adaptor and Cup (see below).
Storing your milk in the freezer
To store in the freezer, use an AVENT Sealing Disc in place of the nipple
and dome cap or use a sterilized VIA Lid to seal the VIA Cup. 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.
11. Feeding your baby your expressed breast milk
If breast milk has been stored in an AVENT Breast Milk
Container, replace the sealing disc with a sterilized
AVENT Nipple.
Alternatively replace the VIA Lid with a sterilized VIA
Adaptor, screw ring, dome cap and 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.
Breast milk can be heated in the same way as any other bottle feed.
Stand the AVENT Feeding Bottle or VIA Nurser 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
AVENT VIA Cups than in standard feeding bottles/containers. Always check
milk or food temperature before feeding.
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 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.
