Breast Pump Avent: how to express milk quickly and comfortably

With the birth of a baby in the life of a newly mummy, there is a lot of trouble. Care of the crumb and its feeding take a lot of effort. Breast Pump Avent - an indispensable assistant, which can greatly simplify the process of breastfeeding.

Why do I need a breast pump?

Today, pediatricians and midwives around the world agree that breast milk is the best food for a young child. That is why all maternity hospitals actively support natural breastfeeding.

Almost always, the mother has the opportunity in the first hours of her life to attach it to her breast and with the help of specialists to establish a successful feeding.

In the usual situation, when the mother and the baby are healthy, the need for decantation is completely absent. But there are times when you need a breast pump.

• The baby was born ahead of schedule. Premature babies are too weak, and breast sucking requires considerable energy expenditure. In this case, the baby is often fed from a bottle or syringe. If there is a breast pump, a woman can provide the baby with her milk.
• Lack of milk. Even a healthy woman can have "milk crises". These are the moments when the baby does not have enough milk. To increase its production, it is often necessary to put the baby to the chest and periodically to express the milk.
• In the mammary glands, stagnant milk formed. This happens with excess milk or an incorrect application of the baby's breast. To relieve the inflammation and stagnate, you need to express the milk. Breast Pump Avent in this case also massages the breast, which will help to cope with the problem more quickly.
• A woman needs to be absent for a long time. If the mother does not stay with the baby for more than three hours, then he must leave the food. Milk from a bottle baby can feed a daddy, the grandmother or the nurse.

Avent breast pump is the sales leader

Philips offers two varieties of Avent breast pump - mechanical and electrical. Let's talk more about each of them.

Mechanical breast pump Avent works with a special piston, when pressed, which takes the milk. The kit includes a breast pump, a milk bottle and a silicone massager. It is the last element that makes Avent the most popular among young mothers. The massager is a silicone nozzle with five petals. With its help it turns out to work on all the lacteal sinuses, which improves the production of milk and makes the process of expression incredibly simple and convenient.

Electric breast pump Avent - a novelty in the market of goods for moms and children. It is somewhat more expensive than its mechanical predecessor, but the price fully justifies itself. Pros of the electric breast pump:

• Mom does not have to put any effort into decanting.
• The electric breast pump is able to express in different modes, which contributes to a perfect outflow of milk.
• It is also possible to memorize a pumping program for use in the future.

How to use Avent Breast Pump

• Wash hands thoroughly and the appliance itself.
• With light massage movements, run your fingers along the entire surface of the chest to stimulate milk production. You can also pre-stand under a warm shower. Often help thoughts about the baby, if he is not around. For those who have the opportunity to communicate with the crumb at the moment, we recommend that you pick it up. Such trifles are very helpful. Already during embraces with a crumb, you can feel how the iron is filled with milk.
• Lean slightly forward and firmly press the breast pump cup to the chest so that the nipple is pointed exactly into the hole in the middle.
• If the breast pump is mechanical, then do 5-7 quick and short strokes on the piston to ensure that the milk flows out. The electric device will do everything itself.
• When the milk begins to emerge from the breast with powerful jets, slow and long movements begin the process of expression.
• After the end of the decantation, thoroughly rinse all parts of the device.
• Expressed milk can be stored in a bottle or special container for 24 hours in a refrigerator or 3 months in a freezer.
