FAQs

Is this breast pump suitable for travel?

Yes, the Philips AVENT Portable Manual Breast Pump is lightweight and compact, making it ideal for travel and on-the-go use.

What does 'Natural Motion Technology' mean?

It means the pump's technology is designed to mimic the natural sucking pattern of a baby, which helps to stimulate milk flow and achieve a quick let-down.

How do I adjust the suction and flow?

You can adjust the rhythm and vacuum by changing the pressure and speed at which you operate the handle. Experiment to find the most comfortable and effective settings for you.

Can I use this pump if I have sensitive nipples?

The pump includes an extra-soft, newborn flow nipple and a massage cushion designed for comfort. You can also adjust the suction to a gentler level.

Are the materials safe for my baby?

Yes, the Philips AVENT breast pump is made from BPA-free polypropylene (PP) for the bottle and parts, and silicone for the nipple and diaphragm, ensuring it is safe for your baby.

How often should I clean and sterilize the pump parts?

It is recommended to wash all parts after each use and sterilize them before the first use and at least once daily. Follow the 'Care' instructions for detailed guidance.

What if the breast shield doesn't feel like a good fit?

The breast shield is designed to fit all nipple sizes. Ensure the massage cushion is correctly placed within the shield for optimal comfort and seal. If discomfort persists, ensure you are positioning the pump correctly on the breast.

Troubleshooting

Low milk flow or discomfort during pumping.

Ensure the breast shield has a proper seal against the breast. Try adjusting the rhythm and vacuum settings. Check that the silicone diaphragm and massage cushion are correctly and securely fitted. Ensure the nipple fits the baby appropriately if feeding directly.

Pump parts seem loose or not fitting together correctly.

Disassemble all parts and reassemble according to the setup instructions. Ensure the silicone diaphragm is fully seated on the breast shield and the handle is properly attached. Check for any debris or damage on the connection points.

Difficulty achieving let-down.

Try a warmer breast environment, gentle breast massage before pumping, or warm compresses. Experiment with different rhythm and vacuum settings, starting with a faster rhythm and lower vacuum to encourage let-down. Ensure you are in a relaxed state.

Milk leakage from the pump.

Ensure the bottle is securely screwed onto the breast shield and the silicone diaphragm is properly sealed against the breast shield. Do not tilt the pump excessively while expressing.
