I had my first baby four weeks ago and as I always intended to breast feed, I had already purchased the Avent electric breast pump by Philips. Now, I must admit, the only reason I went for the Avent over any other brands is because I bought it on sale at TK Maxx for the fabulous price of only £10 - it's normally £90! I did however know that I wanted an electric breast pump over a manual one, as the thought of having to manually pump out the milk sounded less than appealing and I'd been told by fellow mummies that it was pretty time consuming, not to mention hand-achingly bad! So, a few days after I brought my lovely new daughter home, I tried out ...  Read the complete review

I have breast fed my first daughter until 14mths,now 2.5 and I am breastfeeding the 2nd lucy born in june.I used the Avent pump,and found it very good. It comes with a motor section,A funnel(sorry couldnt think of a better word!)that fits on the breast,2 plugs that fit around the nipples and a 4oz bottle.It all comes apart and is very easy to clean but of course you dont clean the motor! Its very easy to put together and to use,just put the motor attachment to the funnel put a nipple plug in, put it to breast and turn it on.Hey presto!There is a button you press to simulate the sucking action and also you can turn the strengh up too. Some people find it ...  Read the complete review

I thought this breast pump was really, really good. I shopped around for what I thought would be the best for me, and this came out on top. I paid £91.95 for it from Boots. I decided to buy a breast pump as my baby son constantly wanted to feed, and when you have a house to run, a five year old to look after, and very little sleep, the last thing you want to be doing is sitting down with a baby attached to all day. So, I bought this pump so my husband could share the feeding. This breast pump is very easy to use and has a memory that learns how you pump and mimics your natural pumping rhythm. You pump using the handle at the rhythm you ...  Read the complete review

I bought this when I was pregnant however, was very reluctant in putting out soo much money and not knowing if I would even be able to breastfeed, however, I found this on sale on Amazon in a breastfeeding set, with this, a microwave steriliser and loads of bottles and accessories for £100. On day one at home my little one had got her latch a bit wrong but was vigorously sucking which caused me extreme pain, which meant that I was in tears while feeding her. When the midwift came in the morning she suggested trying to express and bottle feed for a while to allow me to heal. This pump came as a life saver out of the box as hand expression is extremely difficult ...  Read the complete review

When my first son was born he was in intensive care for 2 weeks and as I was breastfeeding the neo-natal had to freeze my milk. They had 2 breast pumps in the room and they were electric. They had several suction speeds and were EXCELLENT!. When I had my second son I thought I would by one so that I could go out for the odd night!. I chose the Advent pump because I like Advent products. Very slow and labourious. However, friends had used one before and loved it, so maybe I was spoilt by the neo-natal pump?. It was like a Fiesta compared to a Ferrari. ...  Read the complete review
