8)
Milk should begin to flow after the first few strokes. Don't worry if your
milk does not flow immediately. Relax and continue pumping.
Do not continue pumping for more than 5 minutes at a time if NO
result is achieved. Try expressing at another time during the day.
Please remember that, should the process become very painful or
uncomfortable, you should stop using the pump and consult your doctor
or breastfeeding adviser.
9)
Some women may prefer to use the pump without the let-down massage
cushion. Extensive trials show that, in most cases, the massaging effect of
the petals flexing in and out around the areola stimulates the let-down
reflex and allows you to express more milk more quickly.
10)
On average you will need to pump for 10 minutes to express 60-120 ml or
2-4 ozs. However, this is just a guide and varies from woman to woman.
If you find that you regularly express more than 4 ozs per session, please
use a 9 oz/260 ml AVENT bottle.
Do not overfill the bottle and keep it upright, otherwise it may leak
from below the pump body.
10. How to store your expressed breast milk
•
Breast milk can be stored in the
fridge or freezer in either sterile
Breast Milk Storage Containers
(4 oz/125 ml or 9 oz/260 ml
bottles fitted with sealing discs)
or in pre-sterilized disposable
liners, sealed with a clip.
•
Only milk collected with a sterile pump should be stored and fed
to your baby.
•
Expressed milk should be refrigerated immediately.
•
Double bag if using disposable liners to prevent tearing.
•
Expressed breast milk can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 72 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 72 hours (from first expression) after which it
must be used immediately or frozen for future use.
•
NEVER refreeze breast milk.
•
DO NOT add fresh breast milk to already frozen milk.
Storing your milk in AVENT Reusable Bottles
If your expressed breast milk will be fed to your baby within 72 hours,
assemble the nipple, screw ring and dome cap and attach onto the bottle
for storage in the fridge.
To store in the freezer (for up to 3 months), use an AVENT Sealing Disc in
place of the nipple and dome cap. The storage container should be clearly
labeled with the date and time of expression and older milk used up first.
Storing your milk in AVENT Disposable Liners
If using AVENT disposable liners for storage, secure liner with clip and
place in disposable nurser base. Allow at least 25mm/1" of space between
the milk and the clip as the milk will expand as it freezes. No more than
6 fl.oz. (170 ml) of milk should be stored in a disposable liner. Make sure
it is well protected in the freezer to prevent crushing.
11. Feeding your baby expressed breast milk
If breast milk has been stored in an AVENT Breast Milk Storage Container,
replace the sealing disc with a sterilized AVENT nipple.
If breast milk has been stored in a Disposable Liner, fit the liner into the
AVENT Disposable Nurser. Assemble blue tinted nipple, screw ring and
dome cap and screw onto the top of the Nurser, securing the liner.
Frozen breast milk should be defrosted overnight in the refrigerator.
Once thawed use within 24 hours.
Breast milk can be heated in the same way as any other bottle feed. Stand
the bottle of milk in a bowl of hot water, or alternatively, for a safe and
fast way to warm feeds, use the AVENT Express Bottle Warmer. Always
make sure you test the temperature of the milk before giving to baby.
Never heat breast milk or formula in a microwave as this may destroy
valuable nutrients/ and antibodies. In addition, the uneven heating may
cause hot spots in the liquid which could cause burns to the throat.
