Place the pump body (f) onto the Airflex Feeding Bottle (h). Carefully insert the Let-down Massage Cushion (b) into the pump funnel (f) making sure it is perfectly sealed all round the rim of the funnel. (This is easier if assembled whilst wet.) Twist gently clockwise until secure.
7. When to express milk If possible, wait until your milk supply and breastfeeding schedule are well established, normally at least 2-4 weeks after birth, unless told otherwise by your doctor or breastfeeding advisor. The exceptions to the above are: a) If you are expressing milk for your baby to be given in hospital.
Warmth and relaxation can encourage milk flow. Try expressing after a bath or shower. Try expressing from one breast while your baby is feeding from the other, or continue expressing just after a feed. Repositioning the pump on the breast from time to time can help stimulate your milk ducts.
Please remember that, should the process become very painful or uncomfortable, you should stop using the pump and consult your health professional or breastfeeding advisor. Whilst some women may prefer to use the pump without the Let-down Massage Cushion, extensive trials show that, in most cases, the massaging effect of the petals flexing in and out around the areola stimulates the let-down reflex and allows you to express more milk, faster.
Stand the Airflex Bottle or VIA Feeding System in a bowl of hot water, or alternatively, for a safe and fast way to warm feeds, in a Philips AVENT Bottle and Baby Food Warmer. IMPORTANT! Milk or food will heat faster in VIA Cups than in standard feeding bottles/containers.
12. Choosing the right teat for your baby AVENT Airflex Teats can be used on both the Airflex Feeding Bottle and VIA Feeding System. AVENT Teats are clearly numbered on the side to indicate flow rate.
Cracking/discolouration of pump parts Lost or broken parts If you are still experiencing problems, please contact Philips AVENT Customer Services. (see back cover for contact details). Alternatively contact your health professional/breastfeeding advisor. Check that all the pump components have been assembled correctly and that the white valve is the right way up.
