unit and plug in the adapter, the breast pump will run from on electrical
power. The batteries cannot be charged in the unit.
Warning: Do not mix different type of batteries.
Warning: Do not mix used and new batteries.
9 Attach the silicone tube and cap onto the diaphragm. Push down the
cap until it is securely in place.
If breastfeeding goes well, it is advisable (unless advised otherwise by your
healthcare professional/breastfeeding advisor) to wait until your milk supply
and breastfeeding schedule are established (normally at least 2 to 4 weeks
after giving birth) before you start expressing.
Exceptions:
-
If breastfeeding does not go well immediately, expressing regularly can
help to establish and maintain your milk supply.
-
If you are expressing milk for your baby to be given in hospital.
-
If your breasts are engorged (painful or swollen), you can express a small
amount of milk before or between feeds to ease the pain and to help
your baby latch on more easily.
-
If you have sore or cracked nipples, you may wish to express your milk
until they are healed.
-
If you are separated from your baby and wish to continue to breastfeed
when you are reunited, you should express your milk regularly to
stimulate your milk supply.
You need to find the optimum times of the day to express your milk, for
example just before or after your baby's first feed in the morning when your
breasts are full, or after a feed if your baby has not emptied both breasts. If
you have returned to work, you may need to express during a break. Using
a breast pump requires practice and it may take several attempts before
you succeed. Fortunately, the Philips Avent electric breast pump is easy to
assemble and use so you will soon get used to expressing with it.
