Ok, so youve begun breastfeeding, but youre maybe having trouble feeding your baby as often as they want, or youre getting stir-crazy at home and want to get out there and be a human being again. Maybe youve tried breastfeeding outside the house, and youre getting looks from other women and you feel embarrassed and frazzled. It sure sounds like an Avent Isis Breast Pump would come in handy. Breast Pumping will allow you to store up a supply of breast milk for difficult situations, and to free you from having to pull up your shirt and expose yourself every time you need to feed. How does that sound for piece of mind? Before you begin using your new Avent Pump, you must sterilize the milk containers. Boil some water on the stove in a large pot, and put the bottles, caps, nipples, and all other parts in the water for at least 5 minutes of boiling to kill any and all bacteria and viruses. After youre done, its best to let it all either air dry or to wipe everything clean with a CLEAN, NEW cloth or towel. Once all the parts are clean, youre now ready to begin pumping. Remember, its critical that you find a RELAXING, CALM place to pump. If youre anxious, the milk wont come, and youll be frustrated quickly. The Avent Isis Pump makes it very easy for you to feel like the process is as natural as possible. It has a let-down pad, as well as control over speed and pressure, which mimic the suction of an infant. There are no complicated attachments to be made. Just follow the simple instructions included and you will be done pumping in anywhere between ten and thirty minutes. You dont have to keep the milk refrigerated unless you are planning on storing it for more than ten hours. When refrigerated, the milk can last up to eight days before it spoils. If you put the milk in a freezer, the milk can last for months. Its a good idea to keep some in there for emergencies or when you arent around to pump. It can usually thaw in about 24 hours in a refrigerator. Never thaw breast milk on the stove or in the microwave. It could dangerously change its properties. You can quickly thaw it by running it under hot water and shaking the container to make sure that the heat is evenly distributed. Also, you should never refreeze milk that has been thawed. There are specially-designed storage bags known as CSF " collect, store, and freeze bags that are made for breast milk. Obviously, theyre the best choice to store your breast milk. Theyre made from a sterilized plastic that prevents the milk from sticking to the sides of the bags, and keeps the milk in the best shape possible for later use. Using your Avent Pump or Avent Duo Isis Pump takes time to get used to, and it takes time to dial in the settings so theyre right for you, so dont get discouraged too quickly. Thankfully, modern science and breast pumps like the Avent Breast Pump line make it easy for mothers to breastfeed their children and not to rely on formula. You can now be free, feed on demand, and even build up a milk supply in case of trouble!
