In this technological age, everything has become new and improved from the first, most basic design. And so it is with breast pumps. Even the basic manual breast pump has developed into the first manual that naturally stimulates milk flow that is much like breastfeeding – the avent isis manual breast pump. Its unique design has been applauded by not only women, but health professionals, as well. It was proven to be as effective as a hospital-grade electric breast pump in clinical trials conducted by the Institute of Child Health in London, UK. Pediatricians and infant nutrition specialists found that the avent isis pumped the same amount of breast milk as the hospital-grade electric breast pump in the same amount of time. Although this may sound unbelievable, it was probably due to the fact that the avent isis breast pump could pump much more comfortably than the hospital-grade electric.

All of the philips avent breast pumps have the same patented Let-down Massage Cushion. These cushions are made of a soft silicone, and they have five petal sections that stimulate the let-down reflex with their gentle massage. With light pressure on the fingertip handle, you can easily adjust the level of suction at any time to mimic your baby’s suckling pattern. This results in more milk in less time, and more comfortably.

Technology at philips avent has taken the manual breast pump, plugged it in and has given it a memory. The avent isis now has an iQ, which offers you a greater choice in faster, more effortless expressing. This electric breast pump gives you control over speed, vacuum and rhythm. Once you’ve dialed in the combination of the speed, vacuum and rhythm that’s most like your baby, the iQ learns and remembers each setting and continues at your personal pumping rhythm. Once you’ve found that rhythm, just squeeze the handle and press the control button – the pump will automatically continue. You can choose either the Single or the Twin Electronic Breast Pump. These electric breast pumps can run on battery power, too.

Sometimes when technology improves things, things can become way too complicated. But not with any avent isis breast pump. Although they’re technologically improved, they’re still simple, convenient and easy to use.
