Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase and welcome to Philips Avent! To fully benet from the support
that Philips Avent oers, register your breast pump at www.philips.com/welcome.
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 eectively. The combination of suction and nipple stimulation
triggers fast milk ow. 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 rst six months of life and to continue giving them breast milk for two
years next to oering 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 benets 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.
