Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase and welcome to Philips Avent! To fully benefit from the support that Philips Avent
offers, register your breast pump at www.philips.com/welcome.
The Philips Avent single/double electric breast pump Plus is inspired by babies and their natural suction movement.
The soft silicone cushion stimulates the nipple with gentle massaging movements, helping you to express milk
comfortably and effectively. The combination of suction and nipple stimulation triggers fast milk flow. The no-lean-
forward design enables you to sit in a relaxed, upright position while expressing.
Healthcare professionals and the World Health Organization recommend to exclusively feed children with breast milk
during the first six months of life and to continue giving them breast milk for two years next to offering additional nutritious
foods. This is because your breast milk is specially adapted to your baby's needs and helps to protect your baby against
infection and allergies. To breastfeed longer, you can express and store your milk so that your baby can still enjoy the
benefits of it, even if you cannot be there to provide it yourself. As the pump is compact, quiet and discrete to use, you can
take it with you anywhere, allowing you to express milk at your own convenience and to maintain your milk supply.
If breastfeeding goes well, it is advisable (unless recommended otherwise by your healthcare professional) to wait until
your milk supply and breastfeeding schedule are established (normally at least 2 to 4 weeks after giving birth) before
you start expressing.
