The unique design of this breast pump allows you to express breast milk in a comfortable sitting position. You can always lean back and relax as the expressed milk flows directly into the bottles. You can choose the most convenient pumping mode from three different settings. The breast pump starts automatically in a gentle, stimulating mode. The soft massage cushion in a petal design creates a warm feeling on the skin and gently stimulates the milk flow. The closed system of the Avent Philips single breast pump guarantees hygienic expressing of your breast milk. There are only a few individual parts that are particularly easy to clean and can be reassembled quickly. With the Avent Natural bottle included in delivery, you can feed the expressed breast milk to your baby. The wide teat of the bottle contributes to the natural drinking behaviour.
Usage
Read the instructions for using and cleaning the pump. Wash your hands before using the pump.
Center the nipple in the flanges (the cone-like parts that go on the breast) Lean forward slightly and turn the pump on.
Keep the pump at slow speed and low suction.
Simulate what the baby does or the milk supply could drop. The baby’s suck is slow and low, not fast and high, and it is too jarring to the mother’s body to pump at such an intense setting.
Pump for 7 minutes. You may see nothing coming out at first and this is normal. A few minutes into the pumping, you will have a “let-down,” where the milk starts to flow.
Stop the pump for 1 minute and massage the breast, coming down from the armpit to the nipple, all around. This gives the breast a break and allows it to reset, in a sense.
