The Philips Avent breastfeeding range is designed to support you through every step of your breastfeeding journey. Whether you want to develop your milk supply, take care of your breasts, or simply fit more into your day, our manual and electric breast pumps and breast care accessories make breastfeeding easier.
Your body is beautifully designed to breastfeed, but that doesn't mean you have to do it all alone. Feel more confident about breastfeeding by learning all the essentials — from how to prepare right through to handling bumps in the road.
The first few days after birth play a big role in determining your milk supply. The more you stimulate your breasts, the easier it will be to get milk flowing and build up your supply.

To use a manual breast pump for the first time, assemble the pump according to the manufacturer's instructions, position the flange over your nipple, create a gentle suction by squeezing and releasing the handle, and adjust the rhythm to mimic your baby's natural sucking motion.
The Avent manual breast pump typically comes with a standard-sized flange. However, it's essential to check the specific model or product package as some may include different flange sizes to accommodate varying breast shapes and sizes.
The duration of manual breast pumping sessions can vary, but a common recommendation is to pump for about 15-20 minutes per breast, or until milk flow slows down. Adjust the time based on your comfort and milk supply.
Philips Avent manual breast pumps do not require charging as they operate manually. If you are referring to an electric Avent breast pump, the charging time will depend on the specific model, but it generally takes a few hours to fully charge the pump.
To assemble an Avent manual breast pump, follow the provided instructions, typically involving connecting the handle, diaphragm, and breast pump body. Ensure all components are securely attached before use.
While it's not necessary to sterilize the breast pump after each use, it's recommended to clean and sanitize the pump parts daily, especially for newborns or those with compromised immune systems. Follow the manufacturer's guidelines for proper cleaning and sterilization methods.
