Breast Milk Breast milk is one of the most precious gifts you can give your baby. That’s why Philips AVENT has created a complete range of breast pumps and accessories designed to aid and extend breastfeeding, making it easier for you to deliver all the long-term benefits of breast milk while enjoying many flexible feeding choices. Designed for comfort and success It all began with the ISIS Manual Breast Pump, the most revolutionary breast pump in the world, and the first to naturally stimulate milk flow more like breastfeeding. Not only is it acclaimed by women and health professionals for its unique design, the ISIS Manual Breast Pump is clinically proven to be as effective as a hospital-grade electric pump - but rated significantly more comfortable and pleasant to use. Philips AVENT ISIS Breast Pump The Philips AVENT ISIS Breast Pump has been universally acclaimed by women and health professionals for a revolutionary natural design that makes it gentler and more effective than any other pump available. It's the perfect choice for mums that want to express quickly and quietly, without the need for motors or batteries. 100% reliable vacuum The ISIS Manual Breast Pump is a breakthrough in breast pump design. Its silicone diaphragm provides 100% reliable vacuum, whilst the Let-down Massage Cushion naturally imitates your baby’s suckling action to provide fast milk flow – silently, comfortably and gently. The pump is easy to assemble, discreet to use and all parts are dishwasher safe.

How the Let-down Massage Cushion works The ISIS Manual Breast Pump uses the patented Let-down Massage Cushion found in all Philips AVENT Breast Pumps. This soft silicone cushion, with five petal sections, gently massages the area around the nipple while you pump, stimulating the Let-down reflex. By applying light pressure on the handle located right at your fingertips, it’s easy to make adjustments to the suction level at any time. The result is more milk, collected faster, and more comfortably, than with any other manual breast pump. Clinically proven An independent clinical study conducted by leading British pediatricians and infant nutrition specialists compared the performance of the Philips AVENT ISIS Manual Breast Pump and a hospital-grade electric pump. Published by Pediatrics (June 2001), the randomized study proved that mothers using this breast pump expressed the same amount of milk in the same amount of time as with a hospital-grade electric pump.

Helping mothers breastfeed longer Doctors recommend that breast milk is the best nutrition for babies during the first year, combined with solid food after the first 6 months. Your milk is specially adapted to your baby’s needs and contains antibodies which help protect your baby against infection and allergies. Your ISIS Manual Breast Pump will help you breastfeed longer. You can express and store your milk so that – whether you are out for a few hours, taking a well deserved rest, or back at work – your baby can still enjoy the benefits of your breast milk, even if you can’t be there to give it yourself. Quicker, Gentler and Quieter As the pump is so silent and discreet you can take it with you anywhere, allowing you to express milk at your own convenience and maintain your milk supply. The ISIS Manual Breast Pump works quickly, gently and quietly without the need for motors or batteries.The secret is the combination of the unique patented petal massage cushion and silicone diaphragm which work together to imitate the way your baby breastfeeds. The result is more milk, faster and more naturally than with any other pump. In recent clinical trials, it was proved as effective as hospital electric and battery pumps and was much preferred by mothers overall. It was also preferred in terms of ease of use, amount of suction and comfort.

Milk containers to store your milk The award-winning ISIS Manual Breast Pump allows you to express your milk directly into Philips AVENT Feeding Bottles or VIA pre-sterilised Cups for storage in the fridge or freezer. That way, your baby can still enjoy the benefits even if you are not there to give the feed yourself. Since the AVENT Bottle and Airflex Teat are specially designed to mimic breastfeeding, your baby will switch easily between breast and bottle. This allows mothers to continue providing breast milk to baby even when they return to work.

Handy as can be...
I got this set just before I gave birth and my partner laughed and said I would never use it. Boy, was he wrong. My baby had a really strong suck which equalled really really sore nipples. Enter this pump. I have been constantly using it for over three months now and I have always managed to express more than 18 ounces in one go... in about an hour and half. It lets you control your rhythm and expressing, which means less sore nipples and faster milk supply. I have been able to even catch a movie while my mom looked after the baby. Also when I am out and about with the baby I really do not care to have to run around to find a place I can breast feed baby, and also find the whole process quite awkward. Expressing before I go out means I can relax, and bottle feed her the expressed milk wherever I am, including in trains and buses.

I used the Medela Electric pump in hospital once, and it took over 2 hours to express just 8 ounces and hurt like the very dickens. Therefore I recommend this one to anyone wholeheartedly. Its one investment you won't regret and the price is so reasonable. The bottles come in pretty handy too. Once you move on to the bigger 9 oz bottles, you can use these to freeze milk. Great buy all around.

Very good product
I was given this product by a friend and never thought i would need to use it. However my mum went into hospital and i needed to express milk so my partner could look after my daughter. After some initial trial and error i soon got the hang of it and was expressing 6oz every morning in 5 minutes flat.

This is easy to asemble and clean and can be packed away in a small box. It also come with lots of spares in case you happen to loose any of the smaller parts.

Great
I've only ever used this breast pump, so I can't compare it to others. However, saying that, I have breast fed two babies for about 6 months each and have expressed both times using this pump. I was easily able to express 15-18 ounces in not very long, and I am quite large in the breast department and have not had any problems there either. As for a part of the pump breaking, I never experienced this, but I did replace the small plastic/rubber thing before I thought it looked worn. I have recommended this pump, and I would again. I think that as my babies received expressed milk in a bottle it made the transition to formula easier for them, when I had to return to work, as they'd been using a bottle not everything was new for them, it also meant that their dad got those lovely cuddles.
