Press the funnel and the let-down massage cushion of the pump firmly against
your breast. Make sure that no air escapes – otherwise there is no suction.
6
As you gently press the handle, you will feel the suction on your breast. You
do not need to depress the handle fully to create a vacuum – only as much
as it is comfortable. Your milk will soon start flowing, even though you do not
use all the suction that the pump can generate.
7
Begin by pumping 5-6 times rapidly to initiate let-down. Then, hold the
handle down for 2-3 seconds, and allow it to return to its resting place. These
2-3 second cycles imitate your baby’s natural suckling pattern and allow the
milk to flow between strokes.
8
Milk begins to flow after the first few strokes. Do not 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.
9
In average, you need to pump for 10 minutes to express 60-120 ml. This
depends from person to person. If you notice that you can rhythmically
express more than 120ml each time, use the respective size of Philips
AVENT milk bottle for storage. Never tilt the breast pump when the milk
has reached the maximum line on the bottle. Replace with a new bottle
before re-pumping to avoid spillage.
