Some women may prefer to use the pump without the Let-down Massage Cushion. It has been shown 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, faster.

Hints to help you succeed

Using a breast pump takes practice.You may need to make several attempts before you succeed, but because ISIS iQ UNO is so simple and comfortable to use, you will soon get used to expressing milk.

1.Choose a quiet time when you???re not rushed and unlikely to be disturbed.

2.Having your baby or a photograph of your baby nearby can help encourage your milk to flow.

3.Warmth and relaxation can also help so you might like to try expressing after a warm bath or shower.

4.Placing a warm cloth on your breasts for a few minutes before you start pumping can encourage your milk flow and soothe painful breasts.

5.Try expressing from one breast while your baby is feeding from the other, or continue expressing just after a feed.

6.Repositioning the pump on your breast from time to time can help stimulate your milk ducts.

7.Some women may prefer to use the pump without the Let-down Massage Cushion. However, it has been shown 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, faster.

8.To relieve engorgement, we recommend gentle, slow pumping to relieve the pressure.

Practice with your pump to find the best pumping techniques for you. Don???t worry

if your milk doesn???t flow immediately, relax and continue pumping.

CAUTION: IF AFTER 5 MINUTES NO RESULT IS ACHIEVED,TRY AGAIN AT ANOTHER TIME

OF DAY. IFYOU EXPERIENCE ANY PAIN IN THE BREAST AREA, STOP AND CONSULTYOUR

BREASTFEEDING ADVISOR.

How much milk can you expect?

On average you will need to pump for 10 minutes to express 60-125mls or 2-4ozs of milk. However, this is just a guide and varies from woman to woman. If you find that you regularly express more than 125mls/4ozs of milk per session, attach a 260ml/9oz milk container to the pump body.

Once you are happy with the level of suction and rhythm, after two compressions,press the control button and ISIS iQ will continue your personal pumping rhythm (flashing GREEN light).

Note:You do not need to compress the handle fully, only until it feels comfortable.The further you compress the handle, the more suction the pump will provide. If the pressure is uncomfortable, stop and change your pumping rhythm.

HELPFULTIP!

Let-down is your body???s physiological response to the suckling action of your baby on the breast.This stimulates the breast to produce milk and send it towards the nipple where it is available for baby.

Milk expression occurs after let-down is achieved and milk begins to flow. It is the phase that is induced by the baby???s deeper more comfortable suckling rhythm.

5Changing or ending your automated pumping session:

To change your pumping rhythm at any time, press the control button to revert to manual control (solid GREEN light) and set a new pattern.

To end your pumping session, press the control button to revert to manual control (solid GREEN light). Break the seal between your breast and the pump funnel with your finger and remove the pump from your breast.Turn the pump off by pressing and holding the control button until the light goes off. Remove the plug from the electrical socket if necessary, then remove the power lead from the control handle.

6Storing your milk: Make sure that you have not over-filled the milk container and carefully unscrew

it from the pump body.Add a sterilised screw ring and sealing disc to safely store your breast milk in the refrigerator or freezer.

Next time you turn your pump on:

7 Resuming saved session? Even after ISIS iQ is turned off, it will remember the last programmed rhythm. If you have had a short break and your milk is still flowing, ensure you have a good seal against your breast, press the control button and ISIS iQ will continue as before.

Storing your expressed breast milk

Philips AVENT products are interchangeable, so you can express, store and feed with the same container, preserving valuable nutrients that can get lost if breast milk is transferred.

After expressing milk into an AVENT Breast Milk Container, insert a sealing disc into the screw ring and twist onto the container.To feed, just replace the sealing disc with an AVENT Airflex Teat.

Guidelines for storing expressed breast milk

Breast milk can be stored in the fridge or freezer in either sterile AVENT Breast Milk Containers (125ml/4oz or 260ml/9oz fitted with sealing discs) or in pre-sterilisedVIA Cups.

Do not overfill the milk container and be sure to keep it upright.

Expressed milk should be refrigerated immediately.

Only milk collected with a sterile pump should be stored to be fed to your baby.

Expressed breast milk can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 48 hours (not in the door) or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

If you are storing freshly expressed 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 48 hours from first expression, after which it must be used immediately or frozen for future use.

Frozen breast milk can be defrosted overnight in the refrigerator, heated gradually in warm water or heated on the lowest setting of the Philips AVENT Bottle and Baby Food Warmer. Never heat milk in a microwave as this may destroy valuable nutrients and antibodies and uneven heating could cause hot spots.

NB: NEVER refreeze breast milk. DO NOT add fresh breast milk to already frozen milk. ALWAYS discard any milk that is left over at the end of a feed.

CAUTION: NEVER IMMERSE A FROZEN MILK CONTAINER OR VIA CUP IN BOILING WATER

AS THIS MAY CAUSE IT TO CRACK/SPLIT.
