This breast pump is perfect for mums who are looking to purchase a pump that is easy to travel with as this is compact and rechargeable. That you will need more milk storage options, as it would have been good to be prepared by purchasing these ahead of beginning to express. Feel more confident about breastfeeding by learning all the essentials — from how to prepare right through to handling bumps in the road. I washed the breast pump on the top rack of my dishwasher which is one of the recommended options, but you can also sterilise in boiling water after washing by hand. The Philips Avent Comfort Single Electric Breast Pump has been designed with this in mind, so you can sit comfortably with no need to lean forward and let our the massage cushion gently stimulate your milk flow.In case you are not able to receive your parcel when we arrive, we leave you a note to inform you when we'll be back to deliver a second time. The pumping action is controlled by a silicone diaphragm stated to provide a 100% guaranteed vacuum. Now you’ve tested it, what would you have wanted to know before purchasing the Philips Avent Electric Breast Pump? Before use, the parts that will be coming into contact with breast milk need to cleaned, so you need to disassemble it for washing.

It is obvious when milk first starts to flow as there is some in the bottle, but after that, it is difficult to see if there is still milk coming into the pump, or dripping into the bottle so I have to keep tilting it to check. I genuinely would still recommend this to friends, family and other mums to be an essential piece of equipment!If you’re switching between breast and bottle, it helps to make the experience feel as natural as possible for your baby. The gentle stimulation mode worked really well to get my milk flowing and I managed to express a good amount quite quickly. As it is rechargeable I would 100% recommend this to the likes of working mums that need to express and on-the-go mums - it holds its battery well and I find that so convenient for trips or days out - not worrying about carrying extra baggage on top of the things we mamas have to carry day today! The power on the pump stays the same whether you are using it plugged in or cordless which is a huge benefit as I have used pumps where the suctions is much less when you use it out and about and not plugged in.
