After Use; Storing Breast Milk - Philips AVENT SCF330/40 Manual De Instrucciones

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.
7 On average, you need to pump for 10 minutes to express 60-125 ml (2-4 fl oz) of breast milk
from one breast. However, this is just an indication and varies from woman to woman.
8 When you have finished expressing, carefully remove the breast pump from your breast and
unscrew the bottle from the pump body, ready for feeding or storage. Clean the other used
parts of the breast pump.
Note: If you regularly express more than 125 ml per session, you can purchase and use a
260 ml (9 fl oz) Philips Avent bottle to prevent overfilling and spillage.

After use

Storing breast milk

Warning: Only store breast milk collected with a clean and disinfected 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 clean and disinfected bottle or breast milk container.
Breast milk can be stored in the freezer for up to three months as long as it is kept in disinfected
bottles fitted with a disinfected screw ring and sealing disc. Clearly label the bottle 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. Unscrew the bottle and
remove it from the pump body. Insert a disinfected sealing disc into a disinfected screw ring and
screw this onto the bottle (Fig. 14).
