1. Introducing the AVENT ISIS Breast Pump
The AVENT ISIS Breast Pump is a breakthrough in breast pump design.
Its silicone diaphragm provides 1 % reliable suction, while the let-
down massage cushion naturally imitates your baby’s suckling action
to provide fast milk flow – silently, comfortably and gently. The pump
is easy to assemble, discreet to use and all parts are dishwasher safe.
Doctors recommend that breast milk is the best nutrition for babies
during the first year, combined with solid food after 6 months. Your
milk is specially adapted to your baby’s needs and contains antibodies
which help protect your baby against infection and allergies.
Your AVENT ISIS Breast Pump will help you breastfeed longer. You
can express and store your milk so that – whether you are out for
a few hours, taking a well deserved rest, or back at work – your baby
can still enjoy the benefits of your breast milk, even if you can’t be
there to give it yourself. As the pump is so silent and discreet you
can take it with you anywhere, allowing you to express milk at
your own convenience and maintain your milk supply.
Since the AVENT anti-colic teat is specially designed to mimic breast-
feeding, your baby will switch easily between breast and bottle. This
allows mothers to continue providing breast milk to baby even when
they return to work.

3. To clean and sterilise your pump
Before you use your breast pump for the first time and every time
before use:
Separate all parts, then wash in the top shelf of the dishwasher or
in warm soapy water and rinse. Do not use antibacterial cleaners/
detergents. Sterilise in an AVENT Steam Steriliser (electric or
microwave), or by boiling for 1 minutes. If using
an AVENT Steam Steriliser, the pump will remain
sterile in the Steriliser for 3 hours provided the
lid is not removed.
4 . To keep your pump sterile and
compact for travel
After sterilising all parts, you can clip the cover (a) over
the funnel and let-down massage cushion and screw
the travel cover (n) onto the pump body (f) in place of
the VIA Adaptor (h).

5. Using your ISIS Breast Pump ith
the AVENT Feeding Bottle
Simply replace the AVENT VIA Cup and Adaptor with
the AVENT Feeding Bottle. To make the pump completely
stable insert the bottle into the funnel cover (a).
6. Ho to assemble your AVENT
ISIS Breast Pump
Separate all parts and ensure pump has been cleaned and sterilised
as in section 3:
1) Wash your hands thoroughly. Click the white star valve (g) into the
pump body (f) from underneath making sure the flat side of the
valve is downwards and the star side is facing up.
2) Place the pump body (f) onto the VIA Adaptor (h). Twist gently
clockwise until it catches. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN!
3) Place the assembled pump body and VIA Adaptor onto the VIA Cup (i).
Twist gently clockwise until it catches. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN!
4) Place the silicone diaphragm with stem (d) into the pump body (f).
Make sure it fits securely around the rim by pressing down with your
fingers to ensure a perfect seal. (This is easier if assembled while wet).
5) Place the forked end of the handle (e) under the diaphragm stem
(d) and push down gently on the handle until it clicks into place.
6) Carefully insert the let-down massage cushion (b) into the pump
funnel (f) making sure it is perfectly sealed all round the rim of
the funnel. (This is easier if assembled while wet).
7) Click the pump cover (c) onto the pump body (f). To make the pump
completely stable, insert the VIA cup into the VIA lid/stand (j).

4) Warmth and relaxation can encourage milk flow. Try expressing
after a bath or shower.
5) Try expressing from one breast while your baby is feeding from the
other, or continue expressing just after a feed.
6) Repositioning the pump on the breast from time to time can help
stimulate your milk ducts.
Practice with your pump to find the best technique for you.
However, if the process becomes very painful, stop and consult
your breastfeeding adviser.
9. Ho to use your AVENT ISIS Breast Pump
1) Wash your hands thoroughly and make sure your breasts are clean.
Gently squeeze a little milk from each nipple to ensure milk ducts
are not blocked.
2) Make sure you have sterilised and carefully assembled your pump
exactly as shown in sections 3 and 6.
3) Consult the ‘Hints to help you succeed’ section.
4) Relax in a comfortable chair, leaning slightly forward (use cushions
to support your back). Make sure you have a glass of water nearby.
5) Press the funnel and let-down massage cushion of the pump firmly
against your breast, making sure that no air can escape – otherwise
there will be no suction.
6) As you gently push down on the pump handle, you will feel the
suction on your breast. You don’t need to depress the handle fully to
create a vacuum – only as much as is comfortable. Your milk will soon
start flowing even though you may not use all the suction 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 into the VIA Cup between strokes.
8) Milk should begin to flow after the first few strokes. Don’t worry if
your milk does not flow immediately. Relax and continue pumping.
7. When to use your AVENT ISIS Breast Pump
1) If possible, wait until your milk supply and breastfeeding schedule
are well established, normally at least 2-4 weeks after birth, unless
told otherwise by your doctor or breastfeeding adviser.
2) The exceptions to the above are:
a) If you are expressing milk for your baby to be given in hospital.
b) If your breasts are engorged (painful or swollen), you can express
a small amount of milk before or between feeds to ease the pain
and to help your baby latch on more easily.
c) If you have sore or cracked nipples, you may wish to express your
milk until they are healed.
d) If you are separated from your baby and wish to continue to
breastfeed when you are reunited, you should express your milk
6 to 8 times a day and once during the night to stimulate your
milk supply.
3) You will need to find the right times of the day for you to express
your milk, i.e.
a) Early in the morning when your breasts are full, just before or
after your baby’s first feed.
b) After a feed, if your baby has not emptied both breasts.
c) Between feeds, or on a break if you have returned to work.
8. Hints to help you succeed
Using a breast pump takes practice – you may need to make several
attempts before you succeed, but because the AVENT ISIS Breast
pump is so simple and natural to use, you will soon get used to
expressing your milk.
1) Choose a time when you’re not rushed and won’t be interrupted.
2) Having your baby or a photograph of your baby nearby can help
encourage ‘let-down’.
3) Placing a warm cloth on the breasts for a few minutes before you
start pumping can encourage milk flow and soothe painful breasts.
