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

Product Information

The success of the Philips AVENT manual breast pumps and feedback gathered from mums led to the development of this award winning electronic version in 2004.

This breast pump enabled me to express enough milk to regularly supplement and replace many breastfeeds with EBM, giving me the freedom to go out as well as give both my babies extra top-up feeds. MumStuff has been trading online since March 2005 and in that time we have helped thousands and thousands of women throughout their pregnancy, labour, birth and subsequent motherhood. The fact that this is a closed system with the milk unable to get into the suction tubing is a big positive for me, as being able to pass it on to my family who may have children after me makes it much more cost-effective.

Compared to a hard plastic flange that’s a feature of other pumps, the silicone cushion insert in the Philips Avent Electric Pump was quite comfortable.

This Rechargeable Breast-Pump features 8 levels of stimulation and 16 levels of expression for a personalized experience. When spending a large sum of money on an electric breast pump, this warranty is very much appreciated. The closed system of the Avent Philips single breast pump guarantees hygienic expressing of your breast milk. The first time I used the Avent Electric breast pump, I attached the tubing in the wrong place (the illustration could have been clearer and I didn’t notice this in my newborn haze).If you’re switching between breast and bottle, it helps to make the experience feel as natural as possible for your baby. Avent, it is the guarantee of high quality products, created to answer to your needs and the needs of your baby. If you are currently using a model that requires you to lean forwards then it’s definitely worth considering the Philips Avent. The Philips Avent Single electric breast pump has a compact and lightweight design and features three pumping settings: a soft massage cushion with a warm feel and a bottle with a teat for a natural latch-on.

The soft massage cushion in a petal design creates a warm feeling on the skin and gently stimulates the milk flow. This is something to note if you had planned to use glass bottles as a more eco-friendly option, but once you’ve expressed into the included plastic bottle then you can of course decant into a glass one for storage and feeding. It isn’t necessary to reach the top level if you find this uncomfortable, although you may want to for a more productive pumping session. This is not so much of a problem at home (although you will need to turn the TV up), but it you were to use it at work or on holiday it would not be very discreet.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. The breast pump can be operated by mains power, by battery pack or manually making it very flexible for different locations.
