Depending on your own personal comfort, you may wish to
use a higher suction mode that provides deeper suction.
You can return to a lower suction mode, or switch off the
breast pump whenever you like by pressing the appropriate
button.
Note: You do not need to use all suction modes, only use the modes that
are comfortable for you.
Always switch off the breast pump before you remove the pump
body from your breast.
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.

On average, you need to pump for 10 minutes to express
60-125ml (2-4fl oz) of breast milk from one breast.
However, this is just an indication and varies from woman to
woman.
Note: If you regularly express more than 125ml per session, you can use
a 260ml/9fl oz Philips Avent bottle to prevent overfilling and spillage.

When you have finished expressing, switch off the breast pump
and carefully remove the pump body from your breast.

Unscrew the container from the pump body ready for
feeding/storage. Clean the other used parts of the breast
pump according to the instructions in chapter 'Cleaning and
sterilising'.

Unplug the motor unit. For easy storage, wrap the silicone
tube around the motor unit and clip the cap onto the tube.
After use
Storing breast milk
Only store breast milk collected with a sterile 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 sterilised bottle or breast milk container.
Breast milk can be stored in the freezer for up to three months as
long as it is kept in either sterilised containers fitted with a sterilised
screw ring and sealing disc. Clearly label the container 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 container:
