I only used the breast pump at home, but if you did need to express at work or out and about, then this pump is easy to transport. Based on milk flow initiation time (time to Milk Ejection Reflex - MER) results from clinical trial with 20 participants (Netherlands, 2019) compared to time to MER results for other Philips predecessor pump techology from Feasibility study with 9 participants (Netherlands, 2018). The pump can be easily adjusted from stimulation mode to milking mode, and it uses the right amount of stimulation of the nipple and suction to increase the milk flow. This pump would also be great for somebody who doesn't respond to a manual pump but can't afford the expensive double pumps.

The soft massage cushion with iconic petal design mimics baby’s suckling motion to help you stimulate milk let-down. depending on the timing of use (for instance if I pumped too soon after a feed) a good volume wasn’t always guaranteed, but with enough practice, I learned the times when pumping is likely to be most productive for me. The first time I used the Avent Electric breast pump, I attached the tubing in the wrong place (the illustration could have been clearer and I didn’t notice this in my newborn haze). Testing the Philips Avent Comfort Single Electric Breast Pump Would you recommend this to other mums? The natural feel and good flow rate meant I could be sure of the amount of milk I could get each use, taking the stress out of pumping.Abby: I feel maybe different-sized cushion attachments would benefit some mums, although it is super handy to not have to root through size cushions to benefit the breast, it may be handy to others to have options - just in case the "one size fits all" wasn't applicable to them. Now you’ve tested it, what would you have wanted to know before purchasing the Philips Avent Electric Breast Pump? The breast pump consists of a motor unit connected to a plastic funnel with a cushion on it which massages and stimulates the breasts by mimicking the baby’s suckling motion.

We do this through evidence-based products and service innovations that parents and their babies can rely upon. All the levels are easy to see on the main motor unit, which is simple to use with only a few buttons.To prevent them being knocked around during the wash cycle I popped the smaller parts into a mesh laundry bag to keep them together. The massaging cushions and rhythm worked particularly well on the one breast that seemed harder to feed from naturally. It is super easy to understand how it works and where all the pieces attach to when it's been dismantled too.

The cushioned teat is designed to gently mimic your baby's suckling to help stimulate let-down, with a soft, velvety texture that gives the skin a warm feeling for comfortable, gentle stimulation of your milk flow.

The very quiet Avent Philips Electric Breast Pump Ultra Comfort ensures a discrete and effective way of expressing breast milk at any time and at any place.

I washed the breast pump on the top rack of my dishwasher which is one of the recommended options, but you can also sterilise in boiling water after washing by hand. Perhaps a larger bottle or even a discount on a larger bottle included in the pack would have been appreciated. With the Avent you express straight into the supplied bottle, but if you then want to freeze the milk, you’d need to transfer to a different container. Based on December 2019 GemSeek online satisfaction survey conducted among more than 8,000 female users of childcare brands and products. I don’t think anything stands out about this product and other pumps have more attractive and helpful features.

I have used battery-operated breast pumps In the past and have had to change the batteries very frequently so I think this breast pump is a much better design of being rechargeable. The breast pump can be operated by mains power, by battery pack or manually making it very flexible for different locations. The unique design of the breast pump allows you to express breast milk in a comfortable sitting position. I found the LED display highlighting the time spent pumping to be an especially useful feature, as in a sleepless fog it can be hard to keep track of timings for every pumping session.
