2 Your manual breast pump
Introduction
The silicone diaphragm of Philips Avent manual breast pump
provides 100% reliable vacuum, whilst the Let-down Massage
Cushion naturally imitates your baby’s suckling action to provide fast
milk ow – silently, comfortably, and gently.
Doctors recommend that breast milk is the best nutrition for babies
during the rst year, combined with solid food after the rst six
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 breast-feed 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 benets of your breast milk, even if you can not be
there to give it yourself. As the pump is easy to assemble, silent and
discreet you can take it with you anywhere, allowing you to express
milk at your own convenience and maintain your milk supply.

Clean and sterilize
Before each use, clean and sterilize the pump.
• To clean:
• Disassemble all the components, wash them in warm soapy
water, and then rinse them thoroughly.
• Never use abrasive, anti-bacterial cleaning agents, chemical
solvents, or excessive concentration of detergents.
• If necessary, clean the components with a Philips Avent
cleaning brush sold separately.
• Take care when cleaning the valve. Rub it gently between
your ngers in warm soapy water. Do not insert objects as
this may cause damage. If it gets damaged, your breast pump
does not function properly.
• To sterilize:
• Sterilize all the components in a Philips Avent electric or
microwave steam sterilizer. The pump remains sterile in the
sterilizer for a minimum of six hours, provided the lid is not
removed. For details, see the sterilizer user manual.
• Sterilize all the components in boiling water for ve
minutes. Make sure that there is enough water and that the
components do not contact the container for too long, to
avoid heat deformation.
• If you use a sterilizing solution, do not leave the components
in the solution for longer than recommended.
• Do not store the components in drying/sterilizing cabinets
with heating elements. (The maximum temperature of
durance is 110°C.)
After each use, disassemble all the components, clean, and sterilize
them as instructed in this user manual, to ensure hygiene.

When to express milk
If possible, wait until your milk supply and breast-feeding schedule
are well established, normally at least 2-4 weeks after birth, unless
told otherwise by your doctor or breast-feeding advisor. The
exceptions are:
• 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 and you may wish to
express your milk until they are healed.
• If you are separated from your baby and wish to continue to
breast-feed when you are reunited. You should express your
milk regularly to stimulate your milk supply.
Right times of the day to express your milk:
• Early in the morning when your breasts are full, just before or
after your baby’s rst feed.
• After a feed, if your baby has not emptied both breasts.
• Between feeds or in a break if you have returned to work.
