How to use Philips Avent Thermopads
Published on 2017-04-07
Cold use
Use the Philips Avent Thermopads cold to soothe sore or engorged breasts:
- Keep the Philips Avent Thermopad in the fridge or freezer for 24 hours to use it at maximum capacity.
- Use the Thermopad sleeve when you use the cold Thermopad.
Hot use
Use warm to stimulate milk flow before breastfeeding:
- Lightly dampen the Thermopad sleeve, as moist heat gives an extra comfortable feel and helps stimulation.
- Heat the Thermopad by emerging the pad in hot water (50°C/122°F) for 10 minutes.
- Do not boil the water and do not use the Thermopad in the microwave.
If you own the Essential Breast Care Set:
- Use the bra clip to help you remember which side to feed from.
- Use the washable pouch at your convenience.
