Your manual breast pump Introduction The silicone diaphragm of Philips AVENT manual breast pump provides 100% reliable vacuum, whilst the Let-down Massage Cushion naturally imitates your baby’s suckling action to provide fast milk flow – silently, comfortably, and gently. Doctors recommend that breast milk is the best nutrition for babies during the first year, combined with solid food after the first six months.
