Pros

Easy to take on the go, Affordable, The system comes with bottles

DEC

2007

I bought the breast pump after I gave birth to my first child. I looked at the other systems available but they were way out of budget for me. The most reasonable and cost efficient thing I found was the Avent handheld pump. Although it may be tedious to do the pumping on your own, but at least you can take it with you and it's a small package. It comes with a nice, discreet carrying case that helps keep the milk cold and bottles that you can store your milk. It also has some spare parts. The only thing that I didn't like about the pump is that after a while after using it, you can't press the handle all the way anymore. There is a small, white, round plastic piece that is smooth on one side and star like on the other. If you press the handle all the way, that piece sometimes come through the hole and you would have to stop and fix that piece by taking apart the pump. So to stop that, I'd press the handle half way to 3/4 of the way, meaning that I am taking a little longer to pump. but it's tolerable. I am using the pump for my second child. At least the product lasts.
