Having no idea which pump would ... Read the complete review

Although I had prepared myself for the fact I might not be able to breastfeed when my twins were born, it was a bit of a panic when I realised they would not latch on yet I still wanted to express milk but had not bought a breast pump. Because we were in hospital for 5 days I couldn't just pop out to the shops and get one so my mum was ... Read the complete review

I bought this while I was pregnant. I chose a manual pump as I only wanted to express milk ocasionally. It cost me £35 in Boots and came with 5 VIA storage cups and 2 teats. I bought a manual pump as I only wanted to express milk occasionally when I left my daughter with my mum or if I was going somewhere it may not be convenient to ... Read the complete review

When I had my first daughter I wasn't able to breastfeed so with my second I was determined that's what I was going to do. I was also concious that I wouldn't have the confidence to feed her in public and so started to look for a breast pump. I knew from previous experience that I wanted an electric one but when I read reviews I found ... Read the complete review

I bought his pump as I was having difficulty getting my daughter to latch on correctly. I had previously used the electronic version which I found to be no better or no worse than the manual one. The pump is very simple to assemble and to take apart, which makes cleaning & sterilising the product very easy. It also screws ... Read the complete review

The main reason for getting one of these breast pumps was that the other half would be able to take an active part of baby feeding especially at night or if I'm out for the evening as I wanted to delay using milk formula for as long as possible and a pump allows me to express milk into one of the two bottles provided with the pump. The ... Read the complete review

I didn't even know what a breast pump was until I had my first baby. I think if I had been told about such a thing I would have probably found the whole concept hilarious but now I have been through the whole baby thing, my views are now very different. When pregnant with my first little girl, I was completely fascinated by the whole ... Read the complete review

The Avent Isis Breast Pump is a product that I used when I had my first two children, as I was breastfeeding exclusively at that time. When my first child was born, nearly 10 years ago, this product was advertised in every baby magazine going, and I wondered what all the hype was about. As I planned to breastfeed, the ads and articles in ... Read the complete review

This was the first breast pump that I used when I wanted to breastbreed my child, and although I couldn't do it naturally, I found using this product great for giving my daughter natural milk. Because I was planning on breastfeeding, I didn't buy a breast pump before I gave birth, so in the first couple of giving after she was born, it ... Read the complete review

When I first purchased this product I was pregnant and was not planning on breastfeeding for long. I didn't want to pay too much for a product i didn't plan to use very much, so this was a great option for me only costing me £23.99 from boots. I was also already using avent bottle and sterilizer so it made sense to stick with the same ... Read the complete review

I bought this on a budget following extreme review reading, prior to giving birth. This was the main reason I bought the Avent bottles and steriliser (so everything would match) I wanted a breast pump because although I planned on breastfeeding, I was returning to work at 3.5 months and needed her to be able to drink from a bottle, and ...

After a week of breastfeeding, I was finding it very exhausting and although I felt like giving up I was determined to give my baby my breast milk for the first few months at least. The most difficult thing that I found with breastfeeding is the fact that I didn't know how much milk my little girl was getting and I was never ... Read the complete review

I bought this breast pump after looking at a few reviews for different types. I knew I wanted a manual type because it was cheaper. The Avent Isis got great reviews and included in the price were storage jars and lids. The pump itself is easy to assemble and to use. It is very gentle with a silicone shield to cup your breast and ... Read the complete review

I am exclusively breastfeeding my little girl but I have been expressing my milk for about two weeks now so I am able to give her a bottle once a day in the hope that she will get used to it and I can go out for a friends 40th birthday in two weeks time.

I started expressing milk for my twin girls in hospital using an electric pump. We wanted to supplement normal breastfeeding, and also the younger twin had problems latching on because she was so small, so she had begun bottle-feeding by the time she left hospital anyway. We decided to go for a hand pump rather than an ... Read the complete review

I started experessing my milk before I was advised to by the Health visitor due to having a hungry baby who required beast and bottle from day 1! I decided I would invest in a pump to encorage more milk and to enable me to give my baby a bottle feed before bed as he was usually to tired to feed meaning he would wake more often during the ...

I bought the Avent Isis Breast Pump when I was pregnant with my first son.

Avent Isis Breast Pump With my first daughter I planned to breastfeed her, but didn't really research breast pumps, as they all say breastfeeding is the natural thing to do, so I assumed it would be easy...as you do.

My little one "had a nipple confusion". I ended up having to express the milk and bottle-feed her using Avent manual pump. I am expressing 5 -7 times per day and am now an expert. For: - The silicone cushion does provide extra comfort. - It is gentler for the boob than an electric one. - It is quiet - ... Read the complete review

Like most breastfeeding mums, I wanted to be able to firstly let my husband be involved with the feeding, and secondly to give myself a little break! My sister lent me an electric one that promptly broke, and because I didn't want to spend £100 on a new one of those went for the Avent Isis manual. I found once I got the hang of it, ...
