With AVENT, you never have to transfer milk
between containers because you pump,
store and feed with the same base.
By using the AVENT Natural Feeding System, you
preserve valuable nutrients that can get lost if
breast milk is transferred.
With your ISIS iQ DUO ™ or ISIS ™ Manual Pump, you can express milk directly into
VIA Disposable Cups. VIA Cups are safer and sturdier than disposable liners,
and offer better protection for pumping, storing and feeding breast milk.
Get VIA and Get Going!
• Twist-on lid seals tightly to VIA Cup for leak-proof storing or freezing
• Writable and stackable cups make it easy to organize
• Compatible system lets you pump, store and feed using the same cup
• Sturdy VIA Cups heat easily and quickly in a bottle warmer
With all the assurances you get from VIA, why trust any other disposable?
AVENT ® VIA ™ :
The Safest, Strongest
Disposable Ever!

Guidelines for Storing Expressed Breast Milk
° Refrigerate breast milk immediately. Refrigerate for up to 48 hours in the back of the
refrigerator, not in the door.
° Freeze for up to 3 months, or 6 months in a zero-degree freezer.
° Frozen breast milk can be defrosted overnight in the refrigerator, thawed in warm water
or heated on the lowest setting of a bottle warmer or baby food warmer.
° NEVER refreeze breast milk.
° If you express small amounts of milk throughout the day, you can top up the milk
container by keeping it in the refrigerator and adding to it. Make sure the milk is used
within 48 hours of the first expression, or store it in the freezer.
° DO NOT add fresh breast milk to already frozen milk.
Note: Only milk collected with a clean, sanitized pump should be stored to be fed to your baby. Sanitize
Breast Milk Storage Containers before use or express milk directly into VIA
™ Disposable Cups.
Never immerse a frozen bottle or liner in boiling water as this may cause it
to crack/split.
Transporting Expressed Breast Milk
° Please refer to Tote Bag Instructions for complete
directions on how to store and transport breast
milk using the Thinsulate ™ carriers.
° When removed from the freezer, four AVENT Gel
Packs will keep one 4 oz or one 9 oz container of
freshly expressed breast milk sufficiently chilled
inside a Thinsulate carrier and insulated bag for up
to 6 hours. Ensure that both the storage containers
and carriers are placed upright in the bag to prevent
leaking. Also make sure that the Thinsulate carriers
are completely zipped.
° Be sure to keep the gel packs frozen until they
are ready to use and refrigerate milk immediately
after removing it from the insulated bags.
° In hot climates, avoid storing Thinsulatecarriers or
the travel bag containing expressed milk in a car,
office, cabinet etc. Milk must be sufficiently chilled
to avoid spoilage.
Please note: Milk storage times
vary based on collection and
storage conditions.This storage
information is only a suggestion.
Please contact your doctor or
lactation consultant about milk
storage guidelines.
After expressing milk into the AVENT reusable
base, insert a sealing disc into the screw ring
and twist it onto the base. To feed from the
same base, insert the AVENT Natural Shape
Nipple into the screw ring.
