I just had a baby 3 weeks ago but still i think my milk production isnt that great coz when i nurse him after 30-35 min of nursing he falls asleep then gets back up after 5 min crying and this happens every time!! so i thought i should use a pump and try to feed him that way coz my concern is that he gets my milk and not the formula! i bought the avent manual pump, but after pumping for about 10 min i only get a few drops. Am i using it wrong coz the suction is fine and i followed directions too but isnt it strange that i get only few DROPS! i heard from everyone that its the best pump out there. anypne else used the aven manual one ..also should i try an electric pump if so which brand is best something that worked for you guyz. please help out i am very very struessed out!! thankyou

im 30weeks pregnant and am wondering if i can use evenflo bottles even though i have an avent breast pump…?
i was looking forward to simply using avent bottles but since this BPA warning on the news i want to be aware now before my son is born
thank you in advance

I gave away the bottles that fit with my breast pump. A friend has offered to let me have some of the avent brand bottles if they will work though. Does anybody know if they will work?

I’m not sure which one I should purchase?
Either the Medela Harmony or the Avent Isis..
Which is the best between the 2?

What is the cost of the Avent Isis Manual Breast Pump with 2 Bottles in the USA? I live in Canada and it costs here. I’m just wondering what price I should stop bidding at, so it’s equal to the American price.

Thanks.

Can you only attach the one 4 oz. bottle that comes with it? Or do you think I should just buy bottles that are a little more affordable and use the Avent bottle to pump into and then store my breast milk? I don’t plan on pumping and feeding my baby that milk right away; I like the idea of having extra on hand at all times. And what works best for you to freeze it in?

I have been using my pump on a regular basis for about two weeks and it seems like it is already losing suction

Is the avent breast pump any good?

I have bought some avent bottles but I want to breast feed. What is the process??? Do you attach a bottle to the pump or do you attach little storage cups? I’m completely clueless and due in a month, ta

I just thought pumping my milk into the bottle and then transfer to the bag and then transfer back to the bottle seems like a pain. Is it ok to pump directly into the bottle and just freeze it? I have the Avent ISIS manual pump.

The customer services line is closed now until monday and I can’t find anything on the web to order spare parts.

It seems the pump cover (c) has gone missing in transit from hospital to home :(

Thanks
Laura the cover is the dome that goes over the pump mechanism/ handle, you can’t use the pump without it.
