Lack of suction
No milk being
expressed
° Ensure the pump is correctly assembled and that suction is being created.
° Relax and try again, as expression may improve after practice.
° Refer to the ‘Preparing to Pump’ section on page 7.
Pain in the
breast area
when expressing
° You may be pumping too hard.You do not need to use all the suction the pump
can generate.Try compressing the handle halfway.
° Try holding down the pump handle for 2-3 seconds per compression.

Milk is drawn up
the Let-down
Massage Cushion
° Try leaning slightly forward.
° Remove and re-fit the Let-down Massage Cushion to ensure it is firmly
attached and pushed far enough down the center of the funnel.
Some women may prefer to use the pump without the Let-down Massage Cushion. The Let-down
Massage Cushion has petals that flex in and out to gently massage the area around the breast.
This is intended to help stimulate a fast, natural milk flow. When using the breast pump without
the Let-down Massage Cushion, the maximum vacuum level achievable will be higher.
Cracking or
discoloration
of pump parts
° Avoid contact with antibacterial or abrasive detergents or cleaners as they
can damage the plastic. Combinations of detergents, cleaning products, sanitizing
solution, softened water and temperature fluctuations may, under certain
circumstances, cause the plastic to crack. If this occurs, do not use. The pump
bodies and breast milk containers are dishwasher safe but food colorings may
discolor them. Follow guidelines in ‘Cleaning and sanitizing your
Your Pump’ on page 6.
Lost or broken parts
° Contact Philips AVENT for replacements.
