Introducing the AVENT ISIS Breast Pump CLINICALLY PROVEN AS EFFECTIVE AS HOSPITAL ELECTRIC* AND BATTERY PUMPS The AVENT ISIS Breast Pump is a breakthrough in breast pump design. Its silicone diaphragm provides 100% reliable suction, while the letdown massage cushion naturally imitates your baby's suckling action to provide fast milk flow ­ silently, comfortably and gently. The pump is easy to assemble, discreet to use and all parts are dishwasher safe. Doctors recommend that breast milk is the best nutrition for babies during the first year, combined with solid food after 6 months. Your milk is specially adapted to your baby's needs and contains antibodies which help protect your baby against infection and allergies. Your AVENT ISIS Breast Pump will help you breastfeed longer. You can express and store your milk so that ­ whether you are out for a few hours, taking a well deserved rest, or back at work ­ your baby can still enjoy the benefits of your breast milk, even if you can't be there to give it yourself. As the pump is so silent and discreet you can take it with you anywhere, allowing you to express milk at your own convenience and maintain your milk supply. Since the AVENT anti-colic teat is specially designed to mimic breastfeeding, your baby will switch easily between breast and bottle. This allows mothers to continue providing breast milk to baby even when they return to work. * Randomized Trial Comparing the Efficacy of a Novel Manual Breast Pump With a Standard Electric Breast Pump in Mothers Who Delivered Preterm Infants.

Using your ISIS Breast Pump with the AVENT Feeding Bottle Simply replace the AVENT VIA Cup and Adaptor with the AVENT Feeding Bottle. To make the pump completely stable insert the bottle into the funnel cover (a). 6. How to assemble your AVENT ISIS Breast Pump Separate all parts and ensure pump has been cleaned and sterilised as in section 3: 1) Wash your hands thoroughly. Click the white star valve (g) into the pump body (f) from underneath making sure the flat side of the valve is downwards and the star side is facing up. Place the pump body (f ) onto the VIA Adaptor (h). Twist gently clockwise until it catches. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN! Place the assembled pump body and VIA Adaptor onto the VIA Cup (i). Twist gently clockwise until it catches. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN! Place the silicone diaphragm with stem (d) into the pump body (f). Make sure it fits securely around the rim by pressing down with your fingers to ensure a perfect seal. (This is easier if assembled while wet). Place the forked end of the handle (e) under the diaphragm stem (d) and push down gently on the handle until it clicks into place. Carefully insert the let-down massage cushion (b) into the pump funnel (f) making sure it is perfectly sealed all round the rim of the funnel. (This is easier if assembled while wet). Click the pump cover (c) onto the pump body (f). To make the pump completely stable, insert the VIA cup into the VIA lid/stand (j). 3. To clean and sterilise your pump Before you use your breast pump for the first time and every time before use: Separate all parts, then wash in the top shelf of the dishwasher or in warm soapy water and rinse. Do not use antibacterial cleaners/ detergents. Sterilise in an AVENT Steam Steriliser (electric or microwave), or by boiling for 10 minutes. If using an AVENT Steam Steriliser, the pump will remain sterile in the Steriliser for 3 hours provided the lid is not removed. 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) 4. To keep your pump sterile and compact for travel After sterilising all parts, you can clip the cover (a) over the funnel and let-down massage cushion and screw the travel cover (n) onto the pump body (f) in place of the VIA Adaptor (h). 2 7) 3 UK UK 7. When to use your AVENT ISIS Breast Pump 1) If possible, wait until your milk supply and breastfeeding schedule are well established, normally at least 2-4 weeks after birth, unless told otherwise by your doctor or breastfeeding adviser. The exceptions to the above are: a) If you are expressing milk for your baby to be given in hospital. b) If your breasts are engorged (painful or swollen), you can express a small amount of milk before or between feeds to ease the pain and to help your baby latch on more easily. c) If you have sore or cracked nipples, you may wish to express your milk until they are healed. d) If you are separated from your baby and wish to continue to breastfeed when you are reunited, you should express your milk 6 to 8 times a day and once during the night to stimulate your milk supply. 3) You will need to find the right times of the day for you to express your milk, i.e. a) Early in the morning when your breasts are full, just before or after your baby's first feed. b) After a feed, if your baby has not emptied both breasts. c) Between feeds, or on a break if you have returned to work. 4) 5) 6) Warmth and relaxation can encourage milk flow. Try expressing after a bath or shower. Try expressing from one breast while your baby is feeding from the other, or continue expressing just after a feed. Repositioning the pump on the breast from time to time can help stimulate your milk ducts. Practice with your pump to find the best technique for you. However, if the process becomes very painful, stop and consult your breastfeeding adviser. 2) 9. How to use your AVENT ISIS Breast Pump 1) Wash your hands thoroughly and make sure your breasts are clean. Gently squeeze a little milk from each nipple to ensure milk ducts are not blocked. Make sure you have sterilised and carefully assembled your pump exactly as shown in sections 3 and 6. Consult the `Hints to help you succeed' section. Relax in a comfortable chair, leaning slightly forward (use cushions to support your back). Make sure you have a glass of water nearby. Press the funnel and let-down massage cushion of the pump firmly against your breast, making sure that no air can escape ­ otherwise there will be no suction. As you gently push down on the pump handle, you will feel the suction on your breast. You don't need to depress the handle fully to create a vacuum ­ only as much as is comfortable. Your milk will soon start flowing even though you may not use all the suction the pump can generate. Begin by pumping 5-6 times rapidly to initiate let-down. Then, hold the handle down for 2-3 seconds, and allow it to return to its resting place. These 2-3 second cycles imitate your baby's natural suckling pattern and allow the milk to flow into the VIA Cup between strokes. Milk should begin to flow after the first few strokes. Don't worry if your milk does not flow immediately. Relax and continue pumping. 5 2) 3) 4) 5) 8. Hints to help you succeed Using a breast pump takes practice ­ you may need to make several attempts before you succeed, but because the AVENT ISIS Breast pump is so simple and natural to use, you will soon get used to expressing your milk. 1) 2) 3) 4 6) 7) Choose a time when you're not rushed and won't be interrupted. Having your baby or a photograph of your baby nearby can help encourage `let-down'. Placing a warm cloth on the breasts for a few minutes before you start pumping can encourage milk flow and soothe painful breasts. 8) UK UK Do not continue pumping for more than 5 minutes at a time if NO result is achieved. Try expressing at another time during the day. Please remember that, should the process become very painful or uncomfortable, you should stop using the pump and consult your doctor or breastfeeding adviser. 9) Whilst some women may prefer to use the pump without the letdown massage cushion, extensive trials show that, in most cases, the massaging effect of the petals flexing in and out around the areola stimulates the let-down reflex and allows you to express more milk more quickly. On average you will need to pump for 10 minutes to express 60/120 ml or 2/4 ozs. However, this is just a guide and varies from woman to woman. When using the ISIS Breast Pump, do not overfill VIA cups or feeding bottles, and keep the pump upright, otherwise it may leak from below the pump body. · VIA Cups are more flexible than standard feeding bottles ­ avoid applying unnecessary pressure when lids are in place as this could cause them to leak/spill. Storing your milk in the fridge If your expressed breast milk will be fed to your baby within 24 hours, it can be stored in the fridge in an assembled VIA Feeding System or standard AVENT Feeding Bottle. Assemble the teat, screw ring and dome cap and attach onto the VIA Adaptor and Cup or the body of the Feeding Bottle (see below). Storing your milk in the freezer To store in the freezer (for up to 3 months), use a sterilised AVENT VIA Lid to seal the VIA Cup. You can write the date and time of expression on the Cups so that older milk can be used up first. 10. How to store your expressed breast milk · Expressed milk should be refrigerated immediately and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours (not in the door) or in the freezer for up to 3 months. The VIA Lids and Feeding Adaptor are for permanent use and must be sterilised before the first and every use. The VIA Cups are sterile-packed for immediate use. If used more than once, sterilise before each subsequent use. Due to wear and tear, we recommend using VIA Cups no more than four times. Then dispose/recycle. Only milk collected with a sterile pump should be stored and fed to your baby. If you are storing 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 24 hours (from first expression) after which it must be used immediately or frozen for future use. NEVER refreeze breast milk. DO NOT add fresh breast milk to already frozen milk. 11. Feeding your baby expressed breast milk To feed your baby, replace the VIA Lid with a sterilised VIA Adaptor, locking ring, dome cap and AVENT teat. Frozen breast milk should be de ...
