The AVENT ISIS Comfort Breast Shells are worn inside the bra to help you overcome some common problems you may encounter during breastfeeding.
To protect sore or cracked nipples and help relieve engorgement
• Attach the Ultrasoft Backing Cushions to the Ventilated Shells and slip them inside your bra. The soft cushions will mould comfortably to the shape of your breasts and the domed shells protect your sore or cracked nipples from chafing. The ventilation holes allow the air to circulate.
• The Ventilated Shells can also be used to help relieve engorgement. They exert a gentle pressure around the areola and induce a slow leaking of your milk. DO NOT feed this milk to your baby, as milk collected over a long period of time may become contaminated.

To collect breast milk for later use
• Sterilise the Breast Milk Saver Shells (no holes) and the silicone Backing Cushions in an AVENT Steam Steriliser (Electric or Microwave) or by boiling for at least 10 minutes.
• Attach the Ultrasoft Backing Cushions to the Breast Milk Saver Shells. While you are feeding or expressing from one side, slip an assembled Breast Milk Saver Shell inside your bra on the other side to collect any leaking milk. Only milk collected whilst feeding or expressing should be stored for later use.
• To empty the shell, carefully remove the silicone Backing Cushion and pour the breast milk into a sterilised bottle or pre-sterilised bottle bag. Place in a fridge or freezer as soon as possible after collection. The breast milk can be stored for up to 24 hours in the fridge or 3 months in the freezer.
• Wash all items thoroughly after use.
NB: It is recommended not to wear breast shells for longer than 40 minutes at a time as they may cause undue pressure on the milk ducts.
