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 Premium Plus 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.

Using the breast pump when you have symptoms
of engorgement
Breast engorgement means your breasts are overfilled with milk. This is a painful and unpleasant condition.
Frequent extraction of milk and completely emptying the breasts of milk can reduce engorgement. When
you have symptoms of engorgement, make sure you use a lower vacuum level to minimize stretching of
breast tissue.
Note: When symptoms of engorgement are present, make sure you empty your breasts completely
during each expression session.

18 English
After use
1. Unscrew the bottle. 2A. To store the breast
milk: close the bottle
with the sealing disc and
screw ring.

-Always check food temperature before feeding.
-Throw away at the first signs of damage or weakness.
-Keep components not in use out of the reach of children.
-Never attach to cords, ribbons, laces or loose parts of clothing. The child can be strangled.
-Never use feeding teats as a soother.
-Always use this product with adult supervision.
-Keep the bottle cap away from children to avoid suffocation.
-Do not allow children to play with small parts or walk/run while using bottles.
-Inspect all parts before use and pull the feeding teat in all directions. Throw away any part at the first
signs of damage or weakness.
-Always discard any breast milk that is left over at the end of a feed.
Caution: To avoid damage to the bottle
-Do not place in a heated oven, plastic can melt.
-Plastic material properties may be affected by disinfection and high temperatures. This can affect the fit
of the bottle cap.
-Do not leave a feeding teat in direct sunlight or heat, or leave in disinfectant for longer than
recommended because this may damage the product.
Before using the bottle
-Inspect the bottle and feeding teat before each use and pull the feeding teat in all directions to prevent a
choking hazard. Throw away at the first signs of damage or weakness.
-Clean and disinfect the bottle before first use and after every use (see 'Cleaning and disinfecting').

20 English
Assembling the bottle
1. The teat is easier to
assemble if you move it
back-and-forth while
pulling it upwards
instead of pulling it up in
a straight line.
2. Make sure you pull the
teat through until its
lower part is aligned
with the screw ring.
3. Make sure you place
the cap vertically onto
the bottle so that the
teat sits upright.
4. Screw the screw ring
with teat and cap on the
bottle.
5. To remove the cap,
place your hand over the
cap and your thumb in
the dent of the cap.
Heating breast milk
If you use frozen breast milk, let it defrost completely before you heat it.
Note: If you need to feed your baby quickly, you can defrost the milk in a bowl of hot water.
Heat the bottle with defrosted or refrigerated breast milk in a bowl of hot water or in a bottle warmer.
Remove the screw ring and sealing disc from the bottle.
Warning: It is not recommended to use a microwave to warm up breast milk.
Microwaves might alter the quality of breast milk and destroy some valuable nutrients
and may produce localized high temperatures. If you heat up breast milk in the
microwave, only place the container without screw ring, teat and cap in microwave.
Always stir heated breast milk to ensure even heat distribution and check the
temperature before serving.
