When using your Single Electronic Breast Pump for the first time, it will have retained factory
settings stored in the memory as a result of quality control testing. If the One-Touch Memory
Control is pressed prior to squeezing the control handle upon first use the pump will operate at
these settings, which may or may not be comfortable for you.
We recommend that prior to engaging the automatic mode, you establish a comfortable rhythm
manually, then press the One-Touch Memory Control to continue your preferred rhythm.
Using a breast pump takes practice.You may need to make several attempts before you succeed,
but because your Single Electronic Breast Pump is so simple and comfortable to use, you will
soon get used to expressing milk.
1. Choose a quiet time when you’re not rushed and
unlikely to be disturbed.
2. Having your baby or a photograph of your baby
nearby can help encourage your milk to flow.
3. Warmth and relaxation can also help, so you might
like to try expressing after a warm bath or shower.
4. Placing a warm cloth on your breasts for a few
minutes before you start pumping can encourage
your milk flow and soothe painful breasts.
5. Try expressing from one breast while your baby is feeding
from the other, or continue expressing just after a feed.
6. Repositioning the pump on your breast from time to
time can help stimulate your milk ducts.
7. Some women may prefer to use the pump without the Let-down Massage Cushion.
The Let-down Massage Cushion has petals that flex in and out to gently massage the
area around the areola.This is intended to help stimulate a fast, natural milk flow.When
using the breast pump without the Let-down Massage Cushion, the maximum vacuum
level achievable will be higher.
8. To relieve engorgement, we recommend gentle, slow single pumping to relieve the pressure.
Practice with your pump to find the best pumping techniques for you. Don’t worry if your
milk doesn’t flow immediately, relax and continue pumping.
CAUTION: IF AFTER 5 MINUTES NO RESULT IS ACHIEVED,TRY AGAIN AT ANOTHER TIME OF DAY.
IF YOU EXPERIENCE ANY PAIN IN THE BREAST AREA, STOP AND CONSULT YOUR HEALTH
PROFESSIONAL OR BREASTFEEDING ADVISOR.
How much milk can you expect?
On average you will need to pump for 10 minutes to express 2-4ozs or 60-125mls
of milk. However, this is just a guide and varies from woman to woman. If you find that
you regularly express more than 4ozs/125mls of milk per session, attach a 9oz/260ml
milk container to the pump body.
HELPFUL TIP!
The Philips AVENT Electronic and Microwave
Steam Sterilizers are designed to hold the
washable components of the Electronic Breast
Pump and the entire Manual Breast Pump.
