Please remember that, should the process become very painful or

uncomfortable, you should stop using the pump and consult your
health professional or breastfeeding advisor.

9) On average you will need to pump for 10 minutes to express 60-125ml

or 2-4oz. However, this is just a guide and varies from woman to
woman. If you find that you regularly express more than 125ml per
session, please use a 260ml/9oz AVENT bottle or 240ml/8oz VIA cup.

Do not overfill Philips AVENT feeding bottles or VIA cups and keep

upright, otherwise milk may leak from below the pump body.

10. Storing your breast milk

• Breast milk can be stored in

the fridge or freezer in either
sterile breast milk containers
(125ml/4oz or 260ml/9oz bottles
fitted with sealing discs) or in VIA
cups with lids.

• Only milk collected with a sterile pump should be stored to be fed to

your baby.

• Expressed milk should be refrigerated immediately.

• Expressed breast milk can be stored in the refrigerator for up to

48 hours (not in the door) or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

• If you are storing milk in the fridge to add to during the day, only add

milk which has been expressed into a sterile container. Milk can only
be kept like this for a maximum of 48 hours (from first expression)
after which it must be used immediately or frozen for future use.

• For products other than breast milk make feeds up fresh when

needed, following the manufacturer’s instructions.

Storing your milk in the fridge

If your expressed breast milk will be fed to your baby within 48 hours,
it can be stored in the fridge (not in the door) in an assembled Philips
AVENT feeding bottle or VIA feeding system. Assemble a sterilised
teat, screw ring and dome cap and attach onto the body of the Philips
AVENT bottle or the VIA adaptor and cup (see below).
