 GO AHEAD AND BUY THIS NOW!May 14, 2009
By K. Ritchie
I am a full time working mom and this is my third time around with the Avent manual breast pump, and I could not be happier! During the past 4 years I have tried several (and researched several more) manual and electric pumps with the hopes of breasfeeding each child for at least 1 year each. I can honestly say that this pump is far superior to anything else out there. I also want to express to anyone who is considering breasfeeding and has not done it in the past that, along with a stellar pump, you are going to need a stellar support system and some tips. When you are in the hospital for the birth of your child, DO NOT let anyone tell you that your milk has not come in and give your baby a bottle; this has happened to a lot of people I know and this theory is completely false! Also, I have noticed that some women say that breasfeeding hurts. In this situation, proper latching on is key. If your child is having a hard time, don't give up--it absolutely gets easier. Talk to a lactation consultant in the hospital or anywhere else and you will get the help you need. To keep the pain away in the first week or two, continuously use pure lanolin provided by the hospital (or get some at any superstore). I have read in some reviews (of different/previous models of pumps) that pumping hurts; again, this is where the lanolin helps. Consider the fact that when your baby is nursing, his/her mouth is wet--your nipples need to be moisturized with the lanolin before you pump to avoid discomfort. Another tip is, if you are going to work and intend to pump, start building a supply of milk in the freezer a couple of weeks before you leave the home. The best way to do this is to pump one breast while the baby nurses on the other. It is possible to get 4-8 ounces (or more if you like) a day in reserve. I have found that this also helps keep my supply up when I am back at work. Lastly, it really is important to pump at work as often as you can. I know it is "inconvenient," but your results will be so much more successful; I know results vary for everyone, but I am able to express about 18 ounces a day by pumping 3 times per day. And we aren't nursing our kids for the sake of convenience, but to truly nourish our children. The time passes so quickly and I guarantee that you will not regret your efforts. Good luck and best wishes to you and your family! I know that you will love this pump.

 Sucks itself inNov 01, 2009
By Em C.
This was the biggest disappointment. I used a friends electric pump (don't remember what brand it was) and a piece broke so I decided that buying a manual pump was fine since I only pumped to have some milk on hand for a babysitter if we went on a date or left the baby with his grandparents for any amount of time. Well. After about a month of rare use the star shaped piece that creates the vacuum started getting sucked down into the bottle. There was too much suction for it. It was so ridiculously frustrating to have to stop pumping all the time to unscrew the pump part off, fish in the milk for the piece, snap the top clip part off to reinsert it in place, fidget with the pump handle to get it back in place, pop the cap on, screw it back on, pump very carefully, and BAM- the piece is sucked back into the bottle; repeat. There is no way I could EVER recommend this product.

The BEST manual pump out there.Feb 28, 2009
By B. Troyer
I used this breast pump for 2 of my babies and it works great. I went back to work in December and pumped 2 times a day and it worked great. I switched to a double electric pump and my milk supply started to decrease. I switched right back to the Avent manual and the milk was expressed quickly and my supply bounced right back. I LOVE this product so much I bought two, so I could pump both breasts at the same time at work! I've been using it for at least 3 months now and won't go electric again. It can be a little tiring to manual pump 2 times a day, but my new little guy is worth it!

 Good Pump, but doesn't fit many womenMay 26, 2010
By Katherine Gietzen
The Avent Isis breast pump works really well, if it fits you. Breasts come in many different sizes, and as few as 10% of women fit this size, approximately 25mm, well enough to get adequate milk transfer. Also, the silicone insert (for let-down stimulation) on the flange may cause irritation and pulling on the breast, as well as reduces the size of the breast flange further.
The best option is to get a pump where you can change the flange custom fit to your breasts, which could mean a different size for each breast. The Medela Harmony hand pump allows you to do this, with many sizes of replacement breast flanges available, and is similarly priced.

 I hated thisDec 16, 2009
By Elizabeth
I gave this three stars because it might work well for some people, but I hated it. Granted, I was a first-time mom, still figuring out breast feeding, but after trying an electric pump, I don't know why anyone would use this. It squeaked a lot, and the rubber thing that goes over the cup would get milk behind it, and, generally, I just couldn't get it to work well. There might have been some trick that I was missing, but as a new mom, the last thing I needed was sitting and pumping back and forth with a squeaky pump on sore nipples. I thought that breast pumps just didn't work well, but as soon as I tried an electric pump, I realized that it was possible to pump milk easily. Thus, maybe for experienced moms this is a good fit, but if you are a new mom and can afford it at all, I suggest just going with an electric pump.
