Don’ts
- Never refreeze thawed breast milk.

Feeding your baby expressed breast milk
You can feed your baby with breast milk from Philips AVENT bottles and storage cups:
1 If you use frozen breast milk, let it defrost completely before you heat it.
Note: In case of an emergency, you can defrost the milk in a bowl of hot water.
2 Heat the bottle or storage cup with defrosted or refrigerated breast milk in a bowl of hot water
or in a bottle warmer.
3 Remove the screw ring and sealing disc from the bottle or remove the lid from the storage cup.
4 If you are using a storage cup, screw the adapter ring onto the cup.
5 Screw a sterilised screw ring with sterilised teat onto the bottle or onto the storage cup with
adapter ring.
Do’s
- Always check the temperature of the milk before you feed it to your baby.
- Always discard any breast milk that is left over at the end of a feed.
Don’ts
- Never heat breast milk in a microwave, as this can cause uneven heating, which can lead to hot
spots in the milk. It may also destroy nutrients in the milk.
Cleaning and sterilising
The motor unit, the silicone tube and cap and the adapter do not require cleaning and sterilising, as
they do not come into contact with breast milk.
Clean and sterilise all other parts of the breast pump before rst use. Also clean these parts after
each subsequent use and sterilise them before each subsequent use.
Danger: Never put the motor unit or the adapter in water or in a steriliser.
1 Disassemble the breast pump completely. Also remove the white valve.
Be careful when you remove the white valve and when you clean it. If it gets damaged, your
breast pump does not function properly. To remove the white valve, gently pull at the ribbed tab
on the side of the valve.

boiling them for 5 minutes.
