Avent Breast Pump - Reviews and Replacement Parts
Avent is a division of Philip’s, which provides a lot of different medical and
home-use products. The Avent line has four breast pump products:
• Manual Breast Pump – This pump is
operated by hand. It comes with a patented let-down massage cushion, which is
designed to comfort the breast during pump use. This massage cushion is in the
flange, which connects directly to the nipple. The suction is created by a
gentle vacuum when you pump the lever, and this mimics a baby’s suckling.
• On-the-Go Manual Breast Pump Set –
This is the same as the Manual Breast Pump, although it comes with a convenient
tote bag. It also comes with cooling elements and collection bottles to store
and preserve pumped milk.
• Single Electronic Breast Pump –
This pump can extract milk from one breast at a time using an electronic pump;
no manual work needed. It comes with an electronic pump that runs on battery
power or when plugged into a wall socket. It can also be used as a manual pump,
if needed. Like the Manual Breast Pump, it has a let-down massage cushion and
gentle vacuum suction.
• Twin Electronic Breast Pump – This
electric breast pump works similarly to the Single Pump, however it extracts
milk from both breasts at once. After purchasing this product, you will receive
the pump with let-down massage cushions, a bottle stand, a manual pump (in case
of power outages), milk containers, a cooling pack, and an insulated carrier for
on-the-go pumping.
All Avent breast pumps have been
clinically tested. Results show that the Avent pumps collect more milk than many
hospital-grade pumps, and they do it quicker than other products.
Now that you know about the
different products, you may be wondering how to tell which product is for you.
Try to determine your pumping needs. If you are an occasional pumper, a manual
pump could work for you. If you need to pump daily, and electronic pump would be
best. Think about your needs and you’ll be able to figure out which product to
buy.
You may also be wondering if the
Avent pumps are the best choice. One of the best ways to figure this out is to
read consumer reviews. Many shoppers do this when buying a car or other
machinery, so why not do it for your breast pump? You’ll get input from other
mothers who know what you need from a pump.
