Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase and welcome to Philips Avent! To fully benefit from the support that Philips Avent offers, register your breast pump at www.philips.com/mybreastpump.

The Philips Avent single/double electric breast pump Advanced is inspired by babies and their natural suction movement. The soft silicone flange stimulates the nipple with gentle massaging movements, helping you to express milk comfortably and effectively. The combination of suction and nipple stimulation triggers fast milk flow. The no-lean-forward design enables you to sit in a relaxed, upright position while expressing.

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, quiet and discrete to use, you can take it with you anywhere, allowing you to express milk at your own convenience and to maintain your milk supply.

If breastfeeding goes well, it is advisable (unless recommended otherwise by your healthcare professional) 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.

Pumping instructions

Warning: Before you remove the pump body from your breast, always switch off the

breast pump 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 healthcare professional.

Caution: If discomfort is felt, then suction can be broken by inserting a finger between the breast

and the flange.

Note: If you regularly express more than 125ml/4floz per session, you can purchase and use a

260ml/9floz Philips Avent Natural bottle to prevent overfilling and spillage.

1. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water and make sure that your breast is clean.

5. Use the 'level up' and 'level down' buttons to change the suction level to your preference.

2. Place the breast pump kit onto your breast. Make sure that you center your nipple.

6. After 90 seconds the breast pump will switch smoothly to expression mode and slowly increase its vacuum to the last used expression suction level (or level 11 when used for the first time).

3. Press and hold the on/off button until the device switches on. The indicator lights go on to indicate that the device is in stimulation mode.

7. If your milk starts flowing earlier or if you want to switch from expression to stimulation mode, you can switch modes with the mode selection button.

4. The breast pump starts in stimulation mode and slowly increases its vacuum to the last used stimulation suction level (or level 5 when used for the first time).

8. Briefly press the on/off button if you want to pause. To continue, briefly press the on/off button again.

English

3 sec.

English

9. Press and hold the on/off button to switch off.

Tip: For optimal expression, choose the highest setting that still feels comfortable. This setting may differ

across different sessions.

Tip: You can use the double breast pump as a single breast pump by connecting only the tube of one

pump kit to the motor unit. 

10. Unplug the adapter from the power outlet and pull the small plug out of the motor unit.

Using the breast pump when you have symptoms of engorgement

Breast engorgement means your breasts are overfilled with milk. This is a painful and unpleasant condition. Frequent extraction of milk and completely emptying the breasts of milk can reduce engorgement. When you have symptoms of engorgement, make sure you use a lower vacuum level to minimize stretching of breast tissue.

Note: When symptoms of engorgement are present, make sure you empty your breasts completely

during each expression session.

After use

1. Unscrew the bottle. 2A. To store the breast milk: close the bottle with the sealing disc and screw ring.

2B. To prepare the bottle for feeding your baby: place a nipple in a screw ring and screw the assembled screw ring onto the bottle. Seal the nipple with the bottle cap (see 'Assembling the bottle').

3. Remove the silicone tube and cap from the breast pump kit.

English

4. Disassemble and clean

all parts that have been in contact with breast milk as soon as possible after pumping (see 'Cleaning and disinfecting').

5. Clean the motor unit with disinfection wipes. For easy storage, wrap the silicone tube around the motor unit and clip the cap onto the tube.

Warning: Refrigerate or freeze expressed breast milk immediately, label with date and time, or keep it at a room temperature of up to 77°F (25°C) for a maximum of 4hours before you feed your baby.

Note: For more information about the breast pump and tips for expressing milk, visit

www.philips.com/avent.

Instructions for storing breast milk

Write the date on the storage container. Include your child's name if you are giving the milk to a child care provider.

Gently swirl the container to mix the cream part of the breast milk that may rise to the top back into the rest of the milk. Do not shake the milk. This can make some of the milk’s valuable parts break down.

Refrigerate or chill milk right after it is pumped, if possible. You can put it in the refrigerator, place it in a cooler or insulated cooler pack, or freeze it in small (2 to 4ounce) batches for later feedings. Pumped milk at room temperature is fine without being refrigerated for up to 4hours after pumping.

Below you find guidelines for storing breast milk:

Storage location and temperaturesType of breast milk

Countertop 77°F (25°C) or colder (room

temperature)

Refrigerator 40°F (4°C) Freezer 0°F (-18°C) or

colder

Freshly expressed or pumped

Thawed, previously frozen

Leftover from a feeding (baby did not finish the bottle)

Source: https://www.cdc.gov/breastfeeding/recommendations/handling_breastmilk.htm

Up to 4hours Up to 4 days Within 6 months is best

Up to 12 months is acceptable

1–2hours Up to 1 day (24 hours) NEVER refreeze human

milk after it has been thawed

Use within 2hours after the baby is finished feeding

English

Warning: Never refreeze thawed breast milk to avoid a decrease in milk quality.

Warning: Never add fresh breast milk to frozen breast milk to avoid a decrease in milk quality and unintended thawing of the frozen milk.

Feeding breast milk with the bottle

Warning: For your child's safety and health

Always use this bottle with adult supervision.

Never use feeding nipples as a pacifier, to prevent choking hazard.

Continuous and prolonged sucking of fluids will cause tooth decay.

Always check the food temperature before you feed your baby.

Keep all components not in use out of the reach of children.

Keep the bottle cap away from children to avoid suffocation.

Do not allow children to play with small parts or walk/run while using bottles.

Inspect all parts before use and pull the feeding nipple in all directions. Throw away any part at the first signs of damage or weakness.

Always discard any breast milk that is left over at the end of a feed.

Caution: To avoid damage to the bottle

English

Do not place in a heated oven, plastic can melt.

Plastic material properties may be affected by disinfection and high temperatures. This can affect the fit of the bottle cap.

Do not leave a feeding nipple in direct sunlight or heat, or leave in disinfectant for longer than recommended because this may damage the product.

Before using the bottle

Inspect the bottle and feeding nipple before each use and pull the feeding nipple in all directions to prevent a choking hazard. Throw away at the first signs of damage or weakness.

Clean and disinfect the bottle before first use and after every use (see 'Cleaning and disinfecting').

English

Assembling the bottle

1. The nipple is easier to assemble if you move it back-and-forth while pulling it upwards instead of pulling it up in a straight line.

5. To remove the cap, place your hand over the cap and your thumb in the dent of the cap.

2. Make sure you pull the nipple through until its lower part is aligned with the screw ring.

3. Make sure you place the cap vertically onto the bottle so that the nipple sits upright.

4. Screw the screw ring with nipple and cap on the bottle.

Instructions for safe thawing and heating of breast milk

If you use frozen breast milk, let it defrost completely before you heat it.

Always thaw the oldest breast milk first. Remember first in, first out. Over time, the quality of breast milk can decrease.

There are several ways to thaw your breast milk:

In the refrigerator overnight.

Set in a container of warm or lukewarm water.

Under lukewarm running water.

Never thaw or heat breast milk in a microwave. Microwaving can destroy nutrients in breast milk and create hot spots, which can burn a baby’s mouth.

Use breast milk within 24hours of thawing in the refrigerator (this means from the time it is no longer frozen or completely thawed, not from the time when you took it out of the freezer).

Once breast milk is brought to room temperature or warmed after storing in the refrigerator or freezer, it should be used within 2hours.

Never refreeze breast milk once it has been thawed.

Heat the bottle with defrosted or refrigerated breast milk in a bowl of hot water or in a bottle warmer. Remove the screw ring and sealing disc from the bottle.

Always stir heated breast milk to ensure even heat distribution and test the temperature before serving.

English

Choosing the right nipple for your baby

Philips Avent Natural feeding nipples are available with different flow rates. The breast pump comes with nipple number 1. This is a 0m+ nipple, ideal for newborn and breastfed babies of all ages.

Use a lower flow rate if your baby chokes often, if milk drips out of its mouth during feeding or if it has trouble adjusting to the drinking speed. Use a higher flow rate if your baby falls asleep during feeding, gets frustrated or if feeding takes very long.

Philips Avent Natural feeding nipples are clearly numbered on the side, to indicate flow rate. For more information, see www.philips.com/avent.

Storing the bottles

Store all parts in a dry, clean and covered container.

Do not leave a feeding nipple in direct sunlight or heat, or leave in disinfectant for longer than recommended because this may damage the product.

For hygiene reasons, we recommend replacing the feeding nipples after 3 months.

Compatibility

The Philips Avent single/double electric breast pump Advanced is compatible with all baby bottles in the Philips Avent Natural range and Philips Avent Storage cups with adapter. We do not recommend using the Philips Avent Natural Glass bottles with the breast pump.

English

Ordering accessories

To buy accessories or spare parts, visit www.philips.com/support or go to your Philips dealer. You can also contact the Philips Consumer Care Center in your country.

When you order spare feeding nipples, make sure that you use a nipple with the correct flow rate for your baby (see 'Choosing the right nipple for your baby') and do not mix Philips Avent Anti-colic bottle parts and nipples with parts of the Philips Avent Natural bottles. They do not fit and could cause leakage or other issues.

Troubleshooting

This chapter summarizes the most common problems you could encounter with the breast pump. If you are unable to solve the problem with the information below, visit www.philips.com/support for a list of frequently asked questions or contact the Consumer Care Center in your country.

Problem Solution

I experience pain when I use the breast pump.

- Choose a suction level that is comfortable for you.

- Check if the silicone diaphragm is not damaged (does not have small

cracks, holes etc.).

- Make sure that your nipple is placed in the center of the flange.

- If the pain persists, stop using the breast pump and consult your

healthcare professional.

The breast pump does not switch on (indicator lights do not go on).

All indicator lights on the motor unit are flashing and device shuts off automatically.

I do not feel any suction/the suction level is too low.
