7 Onaverage,youneedtopumpfor10minutestoexpress60-125ml(2-4oz)ofbreastmilk.
However, this is just an indication and varies from woman to woman.
Note: If you regularly express more than 125ml per session, you can use a 260ml/9 oz Philips AVENT
bottle or 240ml/8 oz Philips AVENT storage cup to prevent overlling and spillage.
8 Whenyouhavenishedexpressing,carefullyremovethebreastpumpfromyourbreastand
unscrew the bottle or storage cup from the pump body. The bottle or storage cup with milk
is now ready for feeding or storage.
9 Clean the other used parts of the breast pump according to the instructions in the chapter
‘Cleaning and sterilising’.
After use
Storing breast milk
Only store breast milk collected with a sterile breast pump.
Breast milk can be stored in the fridge (not in the door) for up to 48 hours. Expressed milk should
be refrigerated immediately. If you store milk in the fridge to add to during the day, only add milk
that has been expressed into a sterilised bottle or storage cup.
Breast milk can be stored in the freezer for up to three months as long as it is kept in either sterilised
bottles tted with a sterilised screw ring and sealing disc or in sterilised storage cups with a sterilised lid.
Clearly label the bottle or storage cup with the date and time of expression and use older breast milk rst.
If you intend to feed your baby with the expressed breast milk within 48 hours, you can store the
breast milk in the fridge in an assembled Philips AVENT bottle or storage cup:
1 Unscrew the bottle or storage cup and remove it from the pump body.
2 Assemble a sterilised teat and screw ring onto the bottle or storage cup according to the
separate instructions provided with the bottle or storage cup.
3 Seal the teat with the dome cap.
Do’s
- Always refrigerate or freeze expressed milk immediately.
- Only store milk collected with a sterilised breast pump in sterilised bottles or sterilised storage cups.
Don’ts
- Never refreeze thawed breast milk.
- Never add fresh breast milk to frozen breast milk.
Feeding your baby expressed breast milk
You can feed your baby with breast milk from Philips AVENT bottles and storage cups:
1 If you use frozen breast milk, let it defrost completely before you heat it.
Note: In case of an emergency, you can defrost the milk in a bowl of hot water.
2 Heat the bottle or storage cup with defrosted or refrigerated breast milk in a bowl of hot water
or in a bottle warmer.
Note: Milk and food heat up faster in the storage cups than in standard feeding bottles/containers.
Be aware that heating up milk and food in storage cups therefore takes less time
3 Remove the screw ring and sealing disc from the bottle or remove the lid from the storage cup.
4 If you are using a storage cup, screw the adapter onto the cup.
5 Screw a sterilised screw ring with sterilised teat onto the bottle or onto the storage cup with adapter.
