Avent Isis Back To Work Breast Pump Set 410

Pros: gel ice packs, insulated travel bag, relatively easy to clean
Cons: Isis pump didn't work well, baby didn't like bottles, breast pads were ineffective

When I was pregnant, I assumed I’d go back to work, even if only on a part-time basis. Since I knew I wanted to breastfeed my daughter until she was at least one, I added the Isis Back to Work Breast Pump Set to my ...

Pros: I was able to pump breast milk to store for my daughter.
Cons: The pump kept getting overloaded.

My daughter Megan was born in August of 2002. I was planning on taking 12 weeks of unpaid maternity leave. I was planning on returning to work in November. So I knew that I would have to do some pumping, so she could have breast milk while I was away....

Pros: Fairly Inexpensive, Works Great, EXCELLENT Customer Service
Cons: Have to boil parts often to keep good suction

I was recently in the market for breastpumps. Hands down everyone will agree the Medela Pump In Style is what they recommend, but after I saw the hefty price tag, I started looking at manual pumps. The Avent Isis was recommended to me...

Pros: Good Suction - No Batteries or Electrical Outlets Required
Cons: 9 pieces to the Pump, itself. Not a big deal once your use to it.

To breastfeed or to not - that was the question. After reading about all the benefits a child gets from breast milk, I decided that my infant would be breastfed.

When I came home from the hospital, the first little while was really tough but...

Pros: Affordable, no electric parts, ease of use, EXTREMELY helpful customer service.
Cons: Assembly and use take practice. Also - not compatible with standard bottles without 'conversion parts'.

I first bought this pump knowing that I was going to breastfeed and return to work, but unsure as to how much I wanted or would be able to pump. I will say straight away that I credit this pump with my success at breastfeeding - we are no longer...

Pros: Inexpensive, doesn't need an outlet
Cons: Took a lot of practice! Directions not so clear

I received the Avent Isis Back to Work set as a gift. I like how it includes several bottles and breastfeeding- friendly nipples. Taking the pump apart for cleaning and putting it back together wasn't hard to learn. (Except the directions weren't very...

Pros: Tiny pump, big results!
Cons: Not heavy-duty

Like all breastfeeding moms, we struggle with going back to work. Well, all moms hate going back to ...

Pros: No Pain! Durable case and parts. Inexpensive and Portable
Cons: Takes a few tries to put together. Angle wrong for pumping

I found pumping painful and frustrating, but I also wanted to be able to leave my baby for more than an hour or two. Finally, someone loaned the Isis pump to me, and I went out to buy it that week.

The suction cup is soft plastic, molded with...

Pros: Quiet, Discreet, easy to clean and store, attractive bag.
Cons: Takes practice, Can be hard to put together at first.

I bought this pump while I was still on leave. Like the other reviews say it can be complicated at first to put together. It is essential to the performance of the pump that the star valve is not only facing up in to the funnel but also one of the longer ...

Pros: Extremely portable, convenient, easy to clean
Cons: Your hands -will- get sore, stimulator falls off easily breaking seal.

I've used this Avent Isis set for the last three months, in conjunction with a more powerful electric pump, and would recommend it overall with a few caveats.

On the bad side:
This pumping set is one of the most highly recommended and...

Pros: Easy to use and assemble. Comfortable and small.
Cons: Difficult to clean and stayed backed up.

I received this pump because I felt it would be a great pump for when I had to back to school (when my daughter was three months old). About six weeks before the date, I began "practicing" and starting my supply of frozen milk. I had no problem ...

Pros: Discreet, effective, Can pump anywhere, pumps as much as an electric pump
Cons: Avent bottles leak if the caps are too tight

In December 2004, my little boy was born. As much as I wanted to be a stay-at-home-mom, the cost of living in our home state, Hawaii, just wouldn't allow it. So I knew I had to return to my job once my three months of maternity leave was up. I also ...

Pros: Easy to use, quality pump
Cons: Cost

I purchased this pump as soon as I learned I was pregnant, because I knew I would have to return to work after my son was born.
I loved this pump - I was a bit worried at first, seeing all the pieces and the instructions seemed a bit complex, but...

Pros: Small - Nice carrying bag - Gel packs - Comfort petals - Inexpensive
Cons: Squeaky - Parts Wear Relatively Quickly - Repetitive Motion Aggravating to Wrist - Poor Suction

I bought the Avent Isis thinking I was going to be working part time from home and it would be a supplemental pump to supply babysitters when I wanted some time away from the house. I didn't think I'd need a heavy duty electric pump. I had heard that ...

Pros: Easy to use and clean, comfortable to use.
Cons: Many small parts.

We bought this pump for use with our first child. Included in the package were: The ISIS Breast Pump with Sterile Travel Cover Microfiber Insulated Shoulder Bag 2 Milk Storage Bottles with Sealing Discs (4oz) 2 Milk Storage Bottles with Sealing ...
