After Use; Storing Breast Milk - Philips Avent SCF330 Manual Del Usuario

5 Repeat step 4 rapidly 5 or 6 times to initiate the 'let-down' reflex.
6 Adopt a slower rhythm by pressing down the handle and keeping it pressed down for up
to 3 seconds before you let it return to its resting position. Continue in this way while your
milk is flowing. If your hand becomes tired, try to use the other hand to operate the breast
pump or rest your arm across your body to pump from the opposite breast.
Note: Do not worry if your milk does not flow immediately. Relax and continue pumping. Repositioning
the breast pump on your breast from time to time can help stimulate milk flow.
Do not continue pumping for more than 5 minutes at a time if you do not succeed in expressing
any milk. Try to express at another time during the day. If the process becomes very
uncomfortable or painful, stop using the pump and consult your breastfeeding advisor.
7 On average, you need to pump for 10 minutes to express 60-125ml (2-4fl oz) of breast milk.
However, this is just an indication and varies from woman to woman.
Note: If you regularly express more than 125ml per session, you can use a 260ml/9fl oz Philips AVENT
bottle or 240ml/8fl oz Philips AVENT storage cup to prevent overfilling and spillage.
8 When you have finished expressing, carefully remove the breast pump from your breast and
unscrew the bottle or storage cup from the pump body. The bottle or storage cup with milk
is now ready for feeding or storage.
9 Clean the other used parts of the breast pump according to the instructions in the chapter
'Cleaning and sterilising'.

After use

Storing breast milk

Only store breast milk collected with a sterile breast pump.
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 storage cup.
Breast milk can be stored in the freezer for up to three months as long as it is kept in either
sterilised bottles fitted with a sterilised screw ring and sealing disc or in sterilised storage cups with
a sterilised lid. Clearly label the bottle or storage cup with the date and time of expression and use
older breast milk first.
If you intend to feed your baby with the expressed breast milk within 48 hours, you can store the
breast milk in the fridge in an assembled Philips AVENT bottle or storage cup:
1 Unscrew the bottle or storage cup and remove it from the pump body.
2 Assemble a sterilised teat and screw ring onto the bottle or storage cup according to
the separate instructions provided with the bottle or storage cup.
3 Seal the teat with the dome cap.
