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.
9) 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.
10) On average you will need to pump for 10 minutes to express 60-125ml
or 2-4oz. However, this is just a guide and varies from woman to woman.
If you find that you regularly express more than 125ml/4oz per session,
please use a 260ml/9oz AVENT Bottle or 240ml/8oz VIA Cup.
Do not overfill VIA Cups or AVENT Feeding Bottles and keep upright,
otherwise milk may leak from below the pump body.
10. Storing your breast milk
• Expressed milk should be refrigerated immediately
and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to
48 hours (not in the door) or in the freezer for
up to 3 months.
• VIA Cups are pre-sterilised for immediate use and
should be sterilised before each subsequent use.
VIA Lids and Adaptors should be sterilised before
first and every use. We recommend using VIA Cups
several times and to discard if showing signs of wear and tear.
• Only milk collected with a sterile pump should be stored and fed to
your baby.
• If you are storing milk in the fridge to add to during the day, only add
milk which has been expressed into a sterile container. Milk can only
be kept like this for a maximum of 48 hours (from first expression)
after which it must be used immediately or frozen for future use.
• For products other than breast milk make feeds up fresh when
needed, following the manufacturer’s instructions.
• VIA Cups have twist on lids for leakproof storage and transport for
your convenience.
Storing your milk in the fridge
If your expressed breast milk will be fed to your baby within 48 hours,
it can be stored in the fridge in an assembled VIA Feeding System
or AVENT Feeding Bottle. Assemble a sterilised teat, screw ring and
dome cap and attach onto the VIA Adaptor and Cup or the body of the
AVENT Bottle (see below).
Storing your milk in the freezer
To store in the freezer use a sterilised VIA Lid to
seal the VIA Cup. You can write the date and time
of expression on the cups so that older milk can
be used up first.
NEVER refreeze breast milk. DO NOT add fresh breast milk to already
frozen milk. ALWAYS discard any milk that is left over at the end of a feed.
11. Feeding your baby your expressed breast milk
To feed your baby, replace the VIA Lid with a sterilised
VIA Adaptor, screw ring, dome cap and AVENT Teat.
Frozen breast milk should be defrosted overnight in
the refrigerator. However, in an emergency, it can be
defrosted in a jug of hot water. Once thawed use
within 24 hours.
Breast milk can be heated in the same way as any other bottle
feed. Stand the VIA Feeding System or AVENT Bottle in a bowl
of hot water, or alternatively, for a safe and fast way to warm feeds,
use the Philips AVENT Bottle and Baby Food Warmer. IMPORTANT!
Milk or food will heat faster in VIA Cups than in standard feeding
bottles/containers. Check milk or food temperature before feeding.
Never heat milk or food in a microwave as this may destroy valuable
nutrients and antibodies. In addition, the uneven heating may cause
hot spots in the liquid which could cause burns to the throat.
Never immerse a frozen milk container or VIA Cup in boiling water
as this may cause it to crack/split.
Never put boiling water directly into a VIA Cup. Allow to cool for
around 20 minutes before filling.
