Introduction

English

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/welcome.

The Philips Avent breast pump has a unique design that enables you to sit in a more comfortable position while expressing. The soft massage cushion* is designed to feel soft and warm and imitates your baby’s sucking action to provide milk flow - comfortably and gently. The breast pump starts in a gentle mode that helps to stimulate your milk flow. You can then choose from three suction modes, according to your own personal comfort. The pump is easy to assemble and operate and all parts that come into contact with breast milk are dishwasher-safe.

Healthcare professionals say that breast milk is the best nutrition for babies during the first year, combined with solid food after the first 6 months. Your breast milk is specially adapted to your baby’s needs and help protect your baby against infection and allergies. A breast pump can help you to breastfeed longer. You can express and store your milk so that your baby can still enjoy the benefits of it, even if you cannot be there to provide it yourself. As the pump is compact and discrete to use, you can take it with you anywhere, allowing you to express milk at your own convenience and maintain your milk supply.

This breast pump is for household use only. *The cushion included with this pump was designed to comfortably fit the

majority of mothers. However, if you need it, you can buy a different size cushion separately.

Using the breast pump

When to express milk

If breastfeeding goes well, it is advisable (unless advised otherwise by your healthcare professional/breastfeeding advisor) to wait until your milk supply and breastfeeding schedule are established (normally at least 2 to 4 weeks after giving birth) before you start expressing.

Exceptions:

If breastfeeding does not go well immediately, expressing regularly can

help to establish and maintain your milk supply.

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 ease the pain and to help

your baby latch on more easily.

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

until they are healed.

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. You need to find the optimum times of the day to express your milk, for

example just before or after your baby’s first feed in the morning when your breasts are full, or after a feed if your baby has not emptied both breasts. If you have returned to work, you may need to express during a break. Using a breast pump requires practice and it may take several attempts before you succeed. Fortunately, the Philips Avent electric breast pump is easy to assemble and use so you will soon get used to expressing with it.

English

Tips

Familiarize yourself with the breast pump and how to operate it before

you use it for the first time.

Choose a time when you are not in a rush and will not be interrupted.

A photograph of your baby can help encourage the ‘let-down’ reflex.

Warmth can also help: try to express after a bath or shower, or place a

warm cloth or Philips Avent Thermopad on the breast for a few minutes

before you start expressing.

You may find it easier to express while your baby is feeding from the

other breast, or immediately after a feed.

19.5

English

If expressing becomes painful, stop and consult your breastfeeding

advisor or healthcare professional.

Operating the breast pump

1 Wash your hands thoroughly and make sure your breasts are clean. 2 Relax in a comfortable chair (you may wish to use cushions to support

your back). Make sure you have a glass of water nearby. 3 Press the assembled pump body against your breast. Make sure that

your nipple is centered, so that the massage cushion creates an airtight

seal.

SCF334: The twin electric breast pump enables you to express milk from

both breasts at the same time. However, you can also use the appliance

to express from one breast in just the same way. Attach both assembled

pump bodies to the silicone tube and cap. We recommend to place the

cover over the other one. 4 Make sure that your nipple fits correctly in the massage cushion (see

image below). Not too tight, it is important that the nipple can move

freely, while expressing breast milk. The massage cushion should not be

too large, because this can cause pain or less effective expression.

If the cushion is not the right size for your nipples, you can purchase a

cushion of a different size separately. Two cushion sizes are available:

19.5mm and 25mm. You can find the size of the cushion on the cushion

itself (19.5 or 25).

5 Press the on/off button.

The breast pump automatically starts up in stimulation mode and the on/off button and the stimulation button light up.

You begin to feel the suction on your breast.

English

6 Once your milk starts flowing, you can adopt a slower rhythm by pressing

the lowest suction button.

This button lights up instead of the stimulation button.

Note: Do not worry if your milk does not flow immediately. Relax and

continue pumping. The first few times you use the breast pump, you may

need to use a higher suction mode to get your milk flowing.

7 Depending on your own personal comfort, you may wish to use a higher

suction mode that provides deeper suction. You can always return to a

lower suction mode.

You can turn off the breast pump whenever you like by pressing the

on/off button.

Note: You do not need to use all suction modes, only use the modes that

are comfortable for you.

Warning: Always turn off the breast pump before you remove

the pump body from your breast to release the vacuum.

Warning: Do not continue pumping for more than 5 minutes at

a time if you do not succeed in expressing any milk. Try to

express at another time during the day.

Warning: If the process becomes very uncomfortable or

painful, stop using the pump and consult your breastfeeding

advisor.

8 On average, you need to pump for 10 minutes to express 60-125ml (2-4fl

oz) of breast milk from one breast. However, this is just an indication and

varies from woman to woman.

English

Note: If you regularly express more than 125ml per session, you can

purchase and use a 260ml/9fl oz Philips Avent bottle to prevent

overfilling and spillage.

9 When you have finished expressing, turn off the breast pump and

carefully remove the pump body from your breast.

10 Unscrew the bottle from the pump body. You have multiple options:

Place a cleaned sealing disc in a cleaned screw ring, and screw the

assembled screw ring onto the bottle. The expressed milk in the bottle is

ready for storage.

Alternatively, place a cleaned nipple in a cleaned screw ring and screw

the assembled screw ring onto the bottle. Seal the nipple with the dome

cap.

11 Unplug the adapter from the wall outlet to disconnect the appliance from

the electrical power. Unplug the motor unit from the adapter. Unplug the

silicone tube and cap from the silicone diaphragm. For easy storage,

wrap the silicone tube around the motor unit and clip the cap onto the

tube. 12 Clean the other used parts of the breast pump according to the

instructions in section ‘Cleaning’.

Storing breast milk

Warning: Only store breast milk collected with a cleaned and optionally disinfected pump to ensure hygiene.

Breast milk can be stored in the fridge (not in the door) for up to 48 hours. Expressed milk should be refrigerated immediately. If you store milk in the fridge to add to during the day, only add milk that has been expressed into a cleaned bottle. Breast milk can be stored in the freezer for up to three months as long as it is kept in cleaned bottles fitted with a cleaned screw ring and sealing disc. Clearly label the bottle with the date and time of expression and use older breast milk first. If you intend to feed your baby with the expressed breast milk within 48 hours, you can store the breast milk in the fridge in an assembled Philips Avent bottle.

Do’s

Always refrigerate or freeze expressed milk immediately.

Only store milk collected with a cleaned breast pump in cleaned bottles.

Don’ts

Never refreeze thawed breast milk.

Never add fresh breast milk to frozen breast milk.

Compatibility

The Philips Avent electric breast pump is compatible with Philips Avent bottles in our range and Philips Avent Storage cups. When you use Philips Avent Classic bottles, always insert the ring in the top of the bottle before you attach it to the breast pump. When you use other Philips Avent bottles, use the same type of nipple that was supplied with that bottle. For details on how to assemble the nipple and general cleaning instructions, see section 'Feeding' and section 'Cleaning'. These details can also be found on our website, www.philips.com/support.

Spare nipples are available separately. Make sure you use a nipple with

the correct flow rate when you feed your baby (see 'Choosing the right

nipple for your baby'). To buy accessories or spare parts, visit

www.shop.philips.com/service or go to your Philips dealer. You can also

contact the Philips Consumer Care Center in your country.

Do not mix Philips Avent Classic bottle parts and nipples with parts of the

Philips Avent Natural bottles. They may not fit and could cause leakage

or other issues.

The high-quality plastic Philips Avent Natural bottle is compatible with

most Philips Avent breast pumps, spouts, sealing discs and cup tops.
