Avent Isis Breast Pump - Might Wait??

[CatherineL]

Hi! I bought the same pump but the electric model. It's a great pump, but honestly I wouldn't have bothered if I knew what I know now. I too am like Tiff and don't seem to get great volumes with the pump, but the last week I have discovered hand expressing! I've been posting this all over the place today because I'm so excited about it. I seriously get so much more volume from hand expressing, almost 2 whole feeds and in a minimal amount of time. It may not suit everyone, but I've ditched the electric pump because personally I have found hand expressing so much more effective and doesn't irritate my nipples like the pump does. Best of luck with BF'ing anyway...

I LOVED it, I didn't buy it until a few weeks later, and now my sister is using it too!
