Philips Avent Single Premium Electric Breast Pump for Quicker and Personalised Milk Expression, Rechargeable Battery, Timer Display, SCF396/11

Product Information

The very quiet Avent Philips Electric Breast Pump Ultra Comfort ensures a discrete and effective way of expressing breast milk at any time and at any place.

Breastfeeding difficulties, breastfeeding duration, maternal body mass index, and breast anatomy: are they related? The pump is powerful and you can adjust the settings to suit you and your own flow so this makes pumping sessions quicker and more efficient. This pump is best for someone who needs to regularly express and is willing to spend more money so that the process is as efficient as possible e. She found the Avent offered the most comfortable shields she’d come across, whilst fellow parent tester Rayna described it as having a “perfect-fit breast shield”. I felt the different settings on this breast pump gave a good range of stimulation and expression levels to experiment with and I was able to reach one I was comfortable with in each session.

There are only a few individual parts that are particularly easy to clean and can be reassembled quickly. Although it is louder than a hand pump, the sound is more relaxing than a squeaky hand pump as well as not being too loud or overpowering. After a few manual pumps to select your rhythm you push a button on the motor unit and then the electronic pump takes over. The natural feel and good flow rate meant I could be sure of the amount of milk I could get each use, taking the stress out of pumping. The Philips Avent electric breast pump keeps milk flow at an optimum and gently adapts to your nipple size and shape.

The shield is one-size-fits-all, as the flexible nature of the silicone fits around the breast in the correct position. I have used battery-operated breast pumps In the past and have had to change the batteries very frequently so I think this breast pump is a much better design of being rechargeable. The closed system of the Avent Philips single breast pump guarantees hygienic expressing of your breast milk. I have previously used the Medela Swing breast pump, which as mentioned, comes with fewer parts for assembly and cleaning.It could also be useful to include a little bag to be able to transport the pump more easily and discretely when taking it to work or elsewhere. The pumping action is controlled by a silicone diaphragm stated to provide a 100% guaranteed vacuum.
