1. Getting Started
Please take time to read the
Instruction Booklet to familiarise
yourself with your pump. It is
important that you know exactly how
your Philips AVENT Single Electronic
Breast Pump works. You should use
the pump at home until you feel
completely at ease, before beginning
to use it outside the home.
The Single Electronic Breast Pump
bag has been specially designed for
you to discreetly express and store
your breast milk while away from
your baby, then bring it home safely.
You can maintain your milk supply
by expressing at a time you would
normally breastfeed and continue to
breastfeed when you and your baby
are together.
Before using your Single Electronic
Breast Pump, please consult your
health professional or breastfeeding
advisor regarding your breastfeeding
and breast milk expression schedule.
Do not attach containers to the
pump. Fit the sealing discs into the
screw rings and screw them onto
the milk containers. Pack the milk
containers in the insulated travel
bag with the two frozen cool packs
taken from the freezer.

bag. If you wish to use the pump
again, you must re-sterilise.
When you are ready to leave, take
the container of breast milk from the
refrigerator. Take the cool packs from
the freezer and place them inside
the bag on top of the container. This
will keep the milk cool during your
journey home. Ensure containers are
transported upright within the bag
to prevent leaking.
In hot climates, avoid storing the bag
containing expressed breast milk in a
car, office, cabinet etc. Milk must be
sufficiently chilled to avoid spoilage.

refrigerator or freezer. Milk can be
stored for up to 48 hours (from first
expression) in the refrigerator and
up to 3 months in the freezer. Always
store breast milk in the back of the
refrigerator, not in the door. You
must sterilise your Single Electronic
Breast Pump body and breast milk
containers before each use*. Clean
the insulated bag and other pump
parts with a soft damp cloth after
each use.

travel, as shown.
