Editorial Review
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. --Andrea Linsky

Customer Reviews

AMAZING for a manual pump
I bought this at a cousin's rec as well as the wonderful reviews. I have to say I LOVE IT! I was a Medela user for (solely) pumping for my son for six months. When my daughter was born I wanted something different for travel than by big Medela In-Style. So...I tried it. I am a mass producer so was a little concerned about how much could this help? It's truly amazing! It works BETTER than the medela.

Tips for use....
1. When using, be sure the plastic disc is secure in the neck and the pliable plastic/rubber disk is securely on the pump head.
2. I have found it easier if I lean into the pump when I start to pump and create a good suction.
3. When it doesn't start right suctioning right away, I re-latch the pump, lean into it and check the little white disk and the rubber disk on the large head.

Great product and I used it 5-7 times a day for almost a week and am now down to 2-3 times a day for two to three weeks.

great pump!
This little pump is super efficient and easy to use. I like it a lot better than the big fancy medala electric pump we have. I highly recommend this product!

Just okay...
As a breastfeeding Mom (for the third time!) I needed a pump to use occassionally for outings and to build up my supply for later use. I bought the Avent Hand Pump because of all the good reviews and because I rarely, if ever will be bottle feeding my baby.

First and foremost, the silicone petal pad doesn't work for me. I have to take it off. The "horn" part of the pump is NOT size universal. So if you're not sure if it'll fit, chances are it won't. Not all nipples are created equal!!! I did find out that putting some lanolin on the pump itself before pumping makes it easier. Secondly, it's nearly impossible to nurse and to pump at the same time. Third, it's noisy... this means that for you girls out there that are sensitive about let down (meaning you have to forget you are pumping to pump efficiently) it won't work as well as you want it to.

I have no doubt I have a good milk supply. It takes me an hour to pump 4 ounces. A bit dissapointing. Not to mention when you're a new Mommy, time is precious!!

The top cover comes off occassionally and the avent bottles leak-

In the end, my baby wouldn't take the avent bottles. Wouldn't even latch on. SO don't use this pump for the sole reason that you believe Avent is the way to go- ultimately the baby is boss. This is my second breastfed baby that wouldn't take these bottles- although my daughter did latch on for five seconds long enough to gag on the milk because she couldn't control the flow.

I'm not impressed.

No, I wouldn't purchase again.
No, I don't reccommend.
No!!!

I feel cheated and wish I would of researched pumps a bit longer before spending what I did on this one. Let's face it, it's overpriced.
