Frequently Asked Questions

• How do I store mother milk with Philips Avent?
  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 breast milk container.
• What should I do if I experience pain when I use the breast pump?
  Stop using the breast pump and consult your breastfeeding advisor. If the pump does not come away easily from the breast, it may be necessary to break the suction by placing a finger between the breast and let-down massage cushion or between the breast and pump funnel.
• Why use manual double electric avent breast pump?
  Double electric breast pumps are ideal for regular expressing and have the additional advantage of being a perfect time saver for mothers, as milk can be expressed from both breasts at once.
• Does softer massage cushion still be effective for me?
  The petal massage cushion has a softer texture to make expressing milk as comfortable as possible for you. It will not affect the performance of the breast pump at all.
• How to use Philips Avent Breast Pumps Manual Breast Pump?
  If you use frozen breast milk, let it defrost completely before you heat it. In case of an emergency, you can defrost the milk in a bowl of hot water. Heat the bottle or storage cup with defrosted or refrigerated breast milk in a bowl of hot water or in a bottle warmer. Remove the screw ring and sealing disc from the bottle or remove the lid from the storage cup. If you are using a storage cup, screw the adapter ring onto the cup. Screw a sterilised screw ring with sterilised nipple onto the bottle or onto the storage cup with adapter ring.
• Can I heat the milk on Microwaves?
  We do not recommend using a microwave to warm up your baby's food or drinks. Microwaves might alter the quality of food/drinks and destroy some valuable nutrients.
