Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase and welcome to Philips Avent! To fully benefit from the support that
Philips Avent offers, register your breast pump at www.philips.com/mybreastpump.
The Philips Avent single/double electric breast pump is inspired by babies and their natural suction
movement. The soft silicone cushion stimulates the nipple with gentle massaging movements, helping you
to express milk comfortably and effectively. The combination of suction and nipple stimulation triggers fast
milk flow. The no-lean-forward design enables you to sit in a relaxed, upright position while expressing.
Healthcare professionals and the World Health Organization recommend to exclusively feed children with
breast milk during the first six months of life and to continue giving them breast milk for two years next to
offering additional nutritious foods. This is because your breast milk is specially adapted to your baby’s
needs and helps to protect your baby against infection and allergies. To breastfeed longer, you can express
and store your milk so that your baby can still enjoy the benefits of it, even if you cannot be there to provide
it yourself. As the pump is compact, quiet and discrete to use, you can take it with you anywhere, allowing
you to express milk at your own convenience and to maintain your milk supply.
If breastfeeding goes well, it is advisable (unless recommended otherwise by your healthcare professional)
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.
