Isis Breast Pump - Review and Parts
The Avent Isis breast pump is a
manual pump offered by Philip’s, a manufacturer of many products for mothers and
babies. This manual pump extracts milk from a single breast at a time. It comes
with easy-to-assemble parts, including the breast flange with let-down massage
cushion for your comfort, milk collection containers, and a hand pump that
creates a soft vacuum suctioning. The Philip’s Avent pumps have been shown to
collect more milk than other manual pumps, and to do it in less time.
How do you know if this pump is
right for you? First, you have to determine if a manual pump is your style. If
you plan on pumping only occasionally, then it is probably the right choice.
Mothers who pump only when they must leave the infant with a babysitter will
benefit from a manual breast pump for many reasons:
• Ease of use
• Affordability
• Convenience
However, if you must pump at least
once a day, this may not be right for you. Avent offers electronic pumps, as do
many other companies.
If a manual pump is right for you,
then you’ll want to research the Isis model more specifically. The most trusted
method is by looking at consumer reviews. These reviews, made by mothers just
like you, can help you decide which product to choose. If a mother explains that
a pump caused discomfort or failed to collect a decent amount of milk, then you
may want to stay away from it. If, however, many users were satisfied with the
pump, odds are it’s a good choice.
Here’s what other users had to say about the Avent Isis breast pump:
• "This is a great little pump. It is affordable, which is one of the features
that makes it is great (having a baby, especially the 1st one, is expensive
enough). You can use the Avent bottles and magic cups interchangably for milk
storage, so there are fewer things you have to wash. This is awesome because
there isn't much time for working around the house with a new baby. This pump
also stores quite well in the Avent microwave steam sterilizer. After
sterilizing it, I just leave it in the sterilizer.”
• The Avent Isis breast pump is a
great portable system. 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. This pump is easy to take apart and clean and comes with a stand,
travel cover, sealing disc, spare diaphragm, and two valves. It also has a
newborn nipple so you can use the 4-ounce bottle to feed your baby”. –www.amazon.com
