Avent Isis Manual Breast Pump Review

The Avent Manual Pump is a great manual pump.  SO nice to not require a power outlet!  It is easy to use with one hand and expresses milk well.  I never used anything else.  The star valves tend to wear out... but just call Avent (number on their website) and they send you replacements for free!  I used this for two children, pumping 3-4 times a day, 5 days a week when i went back to work when they were around 3 months.  It always worked well.  The bottles are also convenient and I never had any problems with leaks.  I also took this on several trips for work, conferences and such.  It was so  lightweight and easy to carry, plus I could use it anywhere and not worry about an outlet.  No one even knew I was doing it!  It helped me to be able to breastfeed my oldest for 18 mos and my youngest for 16.  I definitely recommend it to anyone thinking about a pump.  Had access to a free Pump-In-Style from Medela, but this was so much better!
