into the screw ring (r) and twist it onto the milk container. If you’re using
VIA, unscrew the adaptor (x) and screw a lid (z) onto the cup (y).
On average you will need to pump for 10 minutes to express 60-125ml/2-
4ozs from each breast. 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 Breast Milk Container.
Breast milk can be stored in the fridge or freezer in either sterile breast milk
containers (125ml/4oz, 260ml/9oz or 330ml fitted with sealing discs) or in
pre-sterilised VIA Cups. Do not overfill the milk container and be sure to keep
it upright, otherwise it may leak. To feed, just replace the sealing disc with
an AVENT Teat.
Alternatively replace the VIA Lid with a sterilised VIA Adaptor, screw ring,
dome cap and AVENT Teat.
Expressed milk should be refrigerated immediately.
Only milk collected with a sterile pump should be stored to
be fed to your baby.
Expressed breast milk can be stored in the refrigerator for up to
48 hours (not in the door) or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
If you are storing freshly expressed 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.
Frozen breast milk can be defrosted overnight in the
refrigerator, heated gradually in warm water or heated
in a Philips AVENT Bottle and Baby Food Warmer.
Note:
• 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.
• Never heat milk 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.
