5. Using the manual breast pump
with the AVENT VIA storage system
Simply replace the Philips AVENT feeding bottle with
a VIA cup and adaptor. To make the pump completely
stable insert the VIA cup into the VIA lid/stand.
6. How to assemble the manual
breast pump
Separate all parts and ensure pump has been cleaned
and sterilised as in section 3:
1) Wash your hands thoroughly. Insert the white valve (g) into the
pump body (f) from underneath.
2) Place the pump body (f) onto the Philips AVENT feeding bottle (h).*
3) Twist gently clockwise until secure.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN!
4) Place the silicone diaphragm and stem (d) into the pump body (f). Make
sure it fits securely around the rim by pressing down with your fingers
to ensure a perfect seal. (This is easier if assembled whilst wet).
5) Place the forked end of the handle (e) under the silicone diaphragm
and stem (d) and push down gently on the handle until it clicks
into place.
6) Carefully insert the Let-down Massage Cushion (b) into the pump
funnel (f) making sure it is perfectly sealed all round the rim of the
funnel. (This is easier if assembled whilst wet).
7) Click the pump cover (c) onto the pump body (f). To make the pump
completely stable insert the bottle into the stand (i).
*ALWAYS insert the adapter ring when using a polypropylene bottle
7. When to express milk
1) If possible, wait until your milk supply and breastfeeding schedule are
well established, normally at least 2-4 weeks after birth, unless told
otherwise by your health professional or breastfeeding advisor.
