The Avent Isis Breast Pump is THE pump to purchase just before your baby comes, or anytime afterwards when you feel you would and need to miss a feeding.  This pump is fast, gentle and quiet.  Avent only makes a manual breast pump, but it works better and quieter and is more comfortable for the mother using it than electric models made by other companies. 

The secret is the combination of its soft cushion "petals" and the silicone diaphragm which work together to mimic breastfeeding.  The soft "petals" in the cushion massage the breast while pumping to stimulate a natural let-down reflex.  The silicone diaphragm creates a vacuum like your baby naturally does while breastfeeding. 

MEDELA BREAST PUMPS:

The Harmony (left) Feels more like your baby than any other manual pump. The only manual pump with breakthrough Natural Expression™ pumping for maximum milk flow. First researched and developed for hospital breastpumps, Natural Expression is an advanced pumping pattern that mimics your baby’s nursing rhythm by pumping in two distinct modes:

Let-down Mode—Simulates your baby’s initial rapid suckling to initiate faster milk flow or “let-down.”

Expression Mode—Simulates your baby’s slower, deeper suckling for maximum milk flow in less time.

The Mini Electric (right) is a wonderful breast pump because you can use it manually, or add batteries and use it anywhere, any time, or you can plug it into the wall.  It is a bit noisy, but our customers who have it love it!!
