Product Description

Editorial Review

For mothers who are looking for a more affordable alternative to the higher end "professional" quality breast pumps, the Avent Via Isis is a convenient, inexpensive manual option that is clinically proven to be as effective as electric pumps. The pump naturally imitates a baby’s suckling to produce fast let-down, and includes five 6-ounce base containers and lids (pre-sterilized), two adaptors, two silicone newborn nipples, two nipple travel packs, and spare parts. The bases can be re-sterilized up to three times before disposing. The system is lightweight and portable. It may not be the ideal choice for mothers who are working full-time out of the house, but for those who need to pump a few times a day, it’s an easy-to-use, hygienic, efficient pump. Dishwasher safe. --Emilie Coulter

Product Description

The Avent Isis VIA Breast Pump Kit is a great way to make sure your milk stays healthy and hygienic. Simply pump directly into the 6 oz. bases and put the lid on. Bases are great for storage whether your at home or on the go. Use the Via bottle adaptor to turn the base into a handy bottle.

5.0 out of 5 stars WONDERFUL...Can't tell you how great., September 20, 2004

This is a great pump. It gives me no problems at all. I never got a breastpump with my first daughter...she only had me! LOL Well, this time around I decided it would be a good idea so I could go exercise at the gym or not alarm the old ladies at church. I have tried an electric one and a manual one made by Evenflo and both were painful and hardly expressed any milk. The first time I used this, I immediatly had over 3 oz. My daughter was only 2 months old when I purchased (I got a NIB on eBAY) it. The Via is nice because of the option of reusing or throwing away. I love the bottle nipples...they are just like, well, nipples. LOL I only use this about once a week, but so far no problems. I would think with the easiness of it, that it would be great for working moms. Cleaning is a cinch also. Visit the Avent website because they have options to receive brochures on the Avent product lines, etc. and you also receive samples. I got a whole VIA kit for free!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Manual Pump Available, April 12, 2004

I tried several pumps before buying this one. It's much easier to use, no tired arms, and it's more comfortable than most. You have to read the directions carefully regarding assembly and cleaning but it's not rocket science.

It came with instructions in multiple languages so I've even purchased it for friends overseas.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Suction, Great Pump, January 14, 2005

By 

Tara E. "Mommy to 3 boys: Cole, Hunter & Owen" (Raleigh, NC USA) - See all my reviews

Great Hand pump. Easy to use and pretty comfortable. Easy to clean and I love that the bottles as well as storage containers all fit directly onto the pump. I also had sqweekage issues but a little WD-40 and that went away. I have very large breasts and I had to hold the cup onto my breast while pumping with the other hand but as long as I held it there, I had great suction and it sucked well. I liked the suction on this better then my electric m Medela Advanced but it was nice to be able to do 2 breasts at once with that electric one. I did love this pump and I will surely use it next time as well.
