Electric breast pump Avent Philips AVENT SCF391 Advance, capacity 120 ml, AC 100–240V

Philips AVENT SCF391 Advance is an electric breast pump designed for efficient expressing and collection of breast milk at home. The single electronic pump is supplied with a 120 ml bottle and operates from AC mains (100–240 V). Natural Motion technology combines a stimulation phase and an expression phase to help initiate milk flow and maintain effective suction while the soft silicone cushion adapts to the shape of the nipple for a comfortable fit. The device features multiple stimulation and expression levels, a memory function, a pause/play control and a quiet corded motor suitable for discreet home use. The closed expression system prevents milk from entering tubing and reduces cleaning effort.

Advantages

The pump’s Natural Motion technology is developed to encourage quicker milk flow by switching smoothly from stimulation to expression modes and applying targeted suction and nipple stimulation. A one-size adaptive silicone cushion conforms to most nipple shapes and sizes, supporting comfort during use and reducing pressure points. The design allows upright sitting while expressing, eliminating the need to lean forward. Controls include 8 stimulation and 16 expression levels, a memory function that recalls the last settings, and a pause/play button for easy interruptions. Minimal parts and a closed system simplify cleaning and reassembly.

Suitable for

• Regular home expressing to support breastfeeding and milk storage

How to use

Assemble the pump components according to the user manual, ensuring the silicone cushion is centred over the nipple. Connect the unit to a suitable AC outlet (100–240 V). Start with a stimulation level to initiate milk flow, then switch to an expression level once milk begins to flow. Adjust stimulation and expression intensities to your comfort and milk output. Use the pause/play button to stop briefly if needed. After expressing, detach the bottle and store milk in appropriate containers or feed directly using compatible teats. Clean all removable parts that come into contact with milk following the manufacturer’s cleaning instructions.

Usage recommendations

Begin each session with the stimulation mode and gradually increase expression levels until you reach a comfortable and effective setting. Sit in an upright, relaxed position to support comfortable expressing and ensure the silicone cushion is centred to avoid discomfort. Follow cleaning and storage guidelines to maintain hygiene and performance.
