I knew when I first found out that I was pregnant that I wanted to breastfeed my baby. A little naively that was about as much thought as I put into it until I was 7 months pregnant. I had kept asking my partner when we were going to get round to buying everything that we needed as I had only got a few items of clothing up to that point. I wanted to invest in a breast pump as I wanted other people to be able to feed my son but really didn't want to give him formula. When we finally went out on a huge shopping trip to say we were overwhelmed was an understatement. I had a list of everything I had decided we needed and on this list was a breast pump. We stood ...  Read the complete review

Breast feeding is a very personal thing. Anything about bringing your children into the world is, but this is one of those areas that for any woman who has breastfed, has its ups and downs. For me, my intential thought when I first became pregnant was I wanted to breastfeed.Being quite a practial person I realised after doing alittle research, but more importantly knowing that things dont always go to plan, I knew I may be able to or not. Luckily, with both of my children I was lucky enough to breastfeed both for 15-16 months each. My first experience with my son was a revelation. They tell you how important it is to breastfeed, it gives your baby the best ...  Read the complete review

Tommee Tippee closer to nature manual breast pump When I first found out that I was pregnant it is very easy to be overwhelmed by all the choices and decisions you have to make months before you even meet your little bundle of joy. What pram to buy, which cot you should get, what essentials you really will need, etc, etc. The only thing that I was certain of right from the very beginning was that I wanted to (if all went to plan) was to breast feed. Naively I thought that breast feeding meant that I didn't have to give much thought into bottles or any other accessories - how very wrong I was. Initially, I didn't give any thought into ...  Read the complete review

Before my son was born I was unsure if breastfeeding would be for me so just incase I bought a set of Tommee Tippee bottles, a sterilizer and a tin of formula milk. Well once he was born he did take a couple of days to really get to grips with breast feeding, but once he'd figured it out he loved it and we never looked back. But that left me with a bit of a conundrum, what to do with the bottles and sterilizer as it seemed like such a waste of money not to use them. My husband said he would like to be able to do some of the feeds and it would be nice for me to have help with the night feeds so maybe I should think about expressing. I thought it was a good idea ...  Read the complete review

I brought this a few days after giving birth to our daughter, which was 3 years ago and I have noticed that in that in the past 3 years the price hasnt changed much at all. We had our daughter a week before christmas and with many family gatherings and different people to visit, a breast pump was very handy for us. I brought it in our local boots store at £19.99 (alot cheaper than some breast pumps they had on the shelves at the time and being a brand name I thought it was a very good price for what you got). Although the box was very small I was suprised with the amount of things you got in there. It came with the breast pump, 2 bottles plus teats ...  Read the complete review
