After Use; Storing Breast Milk - Philips SCF330 Manual

Do not continue pumping for more than 5 minutes at a time if you do not succeed in expressing
any milk. Try to express at another time during the day. If the process becomes very
uncomfortable or painful, stop using the pump and consult your breastfeeding advisor.
7 On average, you need to pump for 10 minutes to express 60-125ml (2-4fl oz) of breast milk.
However, this is just an indication and varies from woman to woman.
Note: If you regularly express more than 125ml (4fl oz) per session, you can use a 260ml/9fl oz Philips
AVENT bottle or 240ml/8fl oz Philips AVENT storage cup to prevent overfilling and spillage.
8 When you have finished expressing, carefully remove the breast pump from your breast and
unscrew the bottle or storage cup from the pump body. The bottle or storage cup with milk
is now ready for feeding or storage.
9 Clean the other used parts of the breast pump according to the instructions in the chapter
'Cleaning and sterilizing'.

After use

Storing breast milk

Only store breast milk collected with a sterile breast 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 sterilized bottle or storage cup.
Breast milk can be stored in the freezer for up to three months as long as it is kept in either
sterilized bottles fitted with a sterilized screw ring and sealing disc or in sterilized storage cups
with a sterilized lid. Clearly label the bottle or storage cup 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 or storage cup:
1 Unscrew the bottle or storage cup and remove it from the pump body.
2 Assemble a sterilized nipple and screw ring onto the bottle or storage cup according
to the separate instructions provided with the bottle or storage cup.
3 Seal the nipple with the dome cap.
Do's
- Always refrigerate or freeze expressed milk immediately.
- Only store milk collected with a sterilized breast pump in sterilized bottles or sterilized
storage cups.
Don'ts
- Never refreeze thawed breast milk.
- Never add fresh breast milk to frozen breast milk.
Feeding your baby expressed breast milk
You can feed your baby with breast milk from Philips AVENT bottles and storage cups:
1 If you use frozen breast milk, let it defrost completely before you heat it.
Note: In case of an emergency, you can defrost the milk in a bowl of hot water.
2 Heat the bottle or storage cup with defrosted or refrigerated breast milk in a bowl of hot water
or in a bottle warmer.
