Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase and welcome to Philips Avent! To fully benet from the support that Philips Avent
oers, register your breast pump at www.philips.com/welcome.
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 eectively. 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 oering 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
benets 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 overlled 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.
After use
1. Unscrew the bottle. 2A. To store the breast milk:
close the bottle with the
sealing disc and screw ring.
2B. To prepare the bottle
for feeding your baby: place
a teat in a screw ring and
screw the assembled screw
ring onto the bottle. Seal the
teat with the bottle cap (see
'Assembling the bottle').
3. Remove the silicone tube
and cap from the breast
pump kit.
4. Disassemble and clean
all parts that have been
in contact with breast
milk (see 'Cleaning and
disinfecting').
5. For easy storage, wrap
the silicone tube around the
motor unit and clip the cap
onto the tube.
Warning: Refrigerate or freeze expressed milk immediately or keep it at a temperature of 16-29 °C
(60-85 °F) for a maximum of 4 hours before you feed your baby.

Warning: Never refreeze thawed breast milk to avoid a decrease in milk quality.
Warning: Never add fresh breast milk to frozen breast milk to avoid a decrease in milk quality and
unintended thawing of the frozen milk.
Feeding breast milk with the bottle
For your child’s safety and health
WARNING!
- Continuous and prolonged sucking of uids will cause tooth decay.
- Always check food temperature before feeding.
- Throw away at the rst 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 suocation.
- 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 rst 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 aected by disinfection and high temperatures. This can aect the t 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.

19
English
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 rst signs of damage or weakness.
- Clean and disinfect the bottle before rst use and after every use (see 'Cleaning and disinfecting').
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.

Choosing the right teat for your baby
Philips Avent Natural teats are available with dierent ow rates. The breast pump comes
with teat number 1. This is a 0m+ teat, ideal for newborn and breastfed babies of all
ages.Use a lower ow rate if your baby chokes often, if milk drips out of its mouth during
feeding or if it has trouble adjusting to the drinking speed. Use a higher ow rate if your
baby falls asleep during feeding, gets frustrated or if feeding takes very long.
Philips Avent Natural teats are clearly numbered on the side, to indicate ow rate. For more information,
see www.philips.com/avent.
Storing the bottles
- Store all parts in a dry, clean and covered container.
- 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.

Avent Natural range and Philips Avent Storage cups with adapter. We do not recommend using the Philips Avent Natural
Glass bottles with the breast pump.
