Avent Isis Manual Breast Pump Review

When my first son was born, he would not nurse.  I wanted the best nutrients for him, so I decided to pump for the first couple of weeks, so I got an Avent Hand Pump.  I realized right away that it was a good product for occasional use, but not for everyday, all day use.  It took too long, my hand would ache, it didn't seem to be as effective (couldn't pump much milk), and it leaked.  It would leak at the top, so I would have to stuff a burp cloth under it so that I wouldn't have to constantly change my shirt.  Pretty annoying!  I ended up renting a pump from my local lactation specialist, which worked so much better.  I still held on to this pump, though because it really was good for every now and then use.  It is excellent in helping relieve engorgement.  It is also good when traveling - when I didn't want to stop as often, so I would pump (while my hubby drove of course) and feed my baby a bottle.
