Editorial Review

For breastfeeding moms on the go, the Avent Isis disposable breast pump is the perfect solution. This manual pump provides a comfortable and efficient way to pump without the need for a larger, battery-run breast pump. The disposable silicone "let-down" cushion has five petal-shaped massagers that flex in and out to imitate your baby's suckling. It's comfortable because you control the speed and pressure. The system comes with a travel cover, 20 bottle liners and labels, and 10 clips so you'll have everything for storing milk when you're out and about. It also has a newborn nipple so you can convert the pump to a bottle for feeding your baby. This pump is a great alternative to electric models. --Andrea Linsky

Product Description

The Avent Isis breast pump is fast, gentle, and quiet, making it perfect for use at work or at home. This manual pump features a soft silicone cushion with five "petal" massagers to stimulate the letdown of milk and to help reduce fatigue and discomfort. The unique silicone diaphragm creates a consistent vacuum to maintain suction and draw milk from the breast. And for added discretion, it works without batteries or loud motors. The Isis breast pump can be used with Avent disposable or reusable bottles.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Breast Pump, May 23, 2001

This review is from: Avent ISIS Breast Pump with Disposable Nurser (Baby Product)

When I had my first child, I knew that I wanted to breastfeed exclusively even though I had to return to work after six weeks. The Avent Isis breast pump made it possible for me to pump and store enough milk for my son while I was at work. I tried a Medela electric pump, since that was the one the nurses all suggested, but felt that it was slow and noisy. The Avent pump is manual so it makes no noise, but it is also much faster than any other pump I tried. When you first start to pump, it feels like there is not enough pressure, but as the suction builds there is more than enough, and you can control it by how far you squeeze the handle. Then just hold it down for several seconds while the milk keeps coming. You can do it with one hand. I'll be using mine again with the baby I'm expecting now.

I received this breast pump as a gift, and thought that I would never use it. It looked complicated, and I already had a small battery operated one, which I thought was great. That is, until I decided to try the Avent one. I didn't realize how uncomfortable the other one was until I tried the Avent pump. I ran out and bought another one, so that I could do both sides at once (I found that once one breast let down with the pump, the other would start to leak, so I pumped both sides at the same time. It took less time, and I didn't ruin all of my clean shirts!). I also found that the easiest way to clean all of the pieces is to get a small mesh lingerie laundry bag from the dollar store, and put all of the pieces in it. It's mesh, so everything comes clean, but it keep the smaller parts from getting lost in the dishwasher. Plus, all the pieces are together when you go to put it together the next time. I can grab the bag out of the dishwasher and assemble it while sitting on the couch, instead of dropping half the parts on the kitchen floor and having to sterilize them again. I used this pump with the Gerber storage bags. They fit onto the Avent bottles, and have a ziploc top to make it easier to throw them in the fridge or freezer. Then when you're ready to use the bags, just fold them over the top of the bottle like a regular liner.

5.0 out of 5 stars By far the best breast pump I've found..., December 5, 2001

As a mother of 4(3 of which have been breast fed)I have used quite a few different breast pumps.With my second and third children I used the Manual Ease Breast Pump by Medela,it was painful,not so easy to use,and didn't produce very much milk for the effort.So needless to say I didn't use it very much.I then recieved the Adjustable Speed Breast Pump Kit by Evenflo as a baby shower gift for my fourth child.Because of my past problems with breast pumps,I was not looking forward to,but hopeful that this time might be different.This pump turned out to also be somewhat painful but better than the last.After about 20 min. of use,it still did not produce very much milk.Not to mention the clean up with this one was enough to keep me from ever wanting to pump again.I was just about to give up on breast pumps all together when I saw an ad,and then read some reviews on the AVENT ISIS,so I thought I'd give it one last shot.After getting this pump home,it seemed to good to be true.The instructions were so easy.I used it,and the very first time I did I pumped not even 10 min. and had a 6oz. bottle for my baby.The "let down cushion" really lives up to it's name.It helps produce more milk quicker and more naturally than any other pump I've used.Traveling with this pump is also easy,it's very compact and strong(it has been droped many,let me stress many,times).The clean up of this pump is very easy,with only 6 parts to break down to clean(with most you have hoses and other small parts)this is by far the very best pump I have found...I just wish I would have found it 3 children ago.It has allowed my husband to feed and bond with our baby,and allowed me the peace of mind to know,if I should need to provide a bottle for our child,I can do it easily and comfortably.I recomend this pump to everyone.If you're like I was and about to give up on the whole "breast pump" thing...give this one a try, you WILL NOT be sorry you did!
