avent electric breast pump

Advantages: easy and gentle to use
Disadvantages: none

...been out and bought the avent pump with an £89.00 price tag. This I thought was expensive but was in hind site well worth it. Its easy to use and not harmful to the nipple like some. I have used it for 3 months and do not know what I would of done without it, it definately played a part in me breast feeding for longer. Be careful buying cheaper models as you really do pay for what you get and that is really important as once you get sore it is hard ...

Review of Avent ISIS iQ UNO

This made long-term expressing possible for me

Advantages: fantastic pump, comfortable, not noisy, well-built, interchangable with all other Avent products, amazing customer service
Disadvantages: Not at all cheap, heavier than other pumps

...Lactaline. I far prefer the Avent electric pump. It's efficent, and not too noisy to use. You can use it singly or doubly with very little effort to change between them. The pumps are fitted with plastic cushions that make it far more comfortable to use than the Ameda. To use it, you can entirely chose how intense and how fast you want the pumping action to be. The handle on the main bottle has a lever, and you move this up and down at the desired ...
...One advantage of the Avent system is that all the bottles, pumps, teats etc all fit each other. We had some Avent bottles anyway, and they could be used seamlessly. In my case, the "brain" as Avent calls the base unit, malfunctioned after a fortnight. I rang Avent, and they replaced the whole unit by express delivery. It arrived the next day, and the customer support people were extremely helpful and efficent. The bottles, pumps, and base unit are ...

Review of Avent ISIS iQ DUO

Great for breastmilk, weaning and beyond!

Advantages: reuseable and not too expensive
Disadvantages: it's sometimes hard to put the lid on.

...is an adapter for the Avent manual breast pump. I found this brilleint because I could put the pot directly onto the pump and express right into it. You can also attach a normal bottle top to the adapter and feed your baby straight from the container without having to swap things around. I found this very useful because on a few occasions I have poured some milk into an actual bottle and spilt aload of it everywhere. I also used them as weaning pots ...
...whilst trying to turn the lid and in this process I'm bending the plastic out of shape which makes it resist turning. Over all these cups are very versatile and handy to have around and they are even better if you have the Avent breast pump and bottles. ...

Review of Avent ISIS VIA Breast Pump

Avent Breast Pads

Advantages: Saves money over disposables
Disadvantages: Bulky

...bought a pack of 6 Avent pads at Boots for £4.99. They are made of a soft material with a waterproof backing & have a lacy side which aswell as looking a bit more feminine serves the purpose of 'gripping' the inside of your bra to make them more secure. They come with a small net in which to wash them so that they don't get lost among your laundry (vital if you don't want one whizzing out your sleeve in public when you take your freshly washed cardigan ...
...there's no telling how much money I've saved. Since they are not tapered at the edges, nor do they have indentations for your nipples, they are bulkier than disposables, so invest in a padded nursing bra, otherwise they'll be seen from space! They do soften & subsequently mould easier after washing the first time. I always wash mine in non bio detergent when washing baby's clothes, just to be sure that they don't cause any irritation to my skin. ...

Review of Avent Washable Breast Pads

No milky marks

Advantages: Prevent leaks
Disadvantages: Quite expensive

...an hour or so. The Avent breast pads are quite expensive-£3.99 for a box of 40, which is the only size they do. I have found that as I am on the smaller size in the breast department, I find that the breast pads are a good size, though if you are larger you may find them a bit small. There is also a handy sticker on the side that goes against your bra, to keep it in place. A god thing about Avent is the fact that they normally package the pads in ...
