7 When to
express milk
If possible, wait until your milk supply
and breast feeding schedule are well
established, unless told otherwise by
your doctor or breast feeding advisor.
The exceptions are:
If you are expressing milk for your
•
baby to be given in hospital.
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.
If you have sore or cracked nipples
•
and you may wish to express your
milk until they are healed.
If you are separated from your baby
•
and wish to continue to breast-
feed when you are reunited. You
should express your milk regularly
to stimulate your milk supply.
Right times of the day
to express your milk
Early in the morning when you
•
breasts are full, just before or after
your baby's first feed.
After a feed, if your baby has not
•
emptied both breasts.
Between feeds or in a break if you
•
have returned to work.
8 Storage
Keep the breast pump out of direct
•
sunlight as prolonged exposure may
cause discoloration.
Store the breast pump and its
•
accessories in a safe and dry place.

pump is compatible with Philips Avent
