Philips AVENT Ultra Comfort SCF332 / 31

Advantages: - long cord. It helps a lot if you are lying in bed with your baby while feeding, and the socket is far away (you don't want to “have batteries” at home). And I express one breast during each feed, while the baby sucks on the other - quiet. Does not frighten the child and does not wake up her husband at night - outwardly very pleasant to the eye. Yes, I also pay attention to this - for the gadget to like its appearance - the ability to use it with Avent containers. From the first pregnancy, there are 20 Avent plastic containers left. I use them - during the day I express in them and leave them in the refrigerator. Further, either in supplementary food, or in a bag for freezing. By the way, you can freeze in containers too. - easy to assemble / wash / disassemble - backlight (saves very much at night) I give the fattest plus to the massage petal nozzle and its diameter. My tight breasts (it's very hard to even squeeze by hand) are not taken by large funnels and breast pumps without such a nozzle. I can only drain with it.

Disadvantages: At the moment I have 5 breast pumps and only the Avent Ultra Comfort has no flaws.

Comment: From the very beginning, my baby sucked perfectly to the breast (as I thought), and sucked it without ceasing. The first two weeks I could not get out of bed (for days I lay “on the suction”, in the breaks on the op). The baby was either sucking or screaming. I fell asleep for 10-15 minutes, woke up and screamed. Sucked and screamed. At 2 weeks I went to the pediatrician in the hospital. It turned out that the child's weight became 50 grams. less than at discharge. Slight dehydration. They said supplementary food 20g. after every meal. In my head "is it really the end?" The next day I called the consultant for Guards. Wrong grip. The child chewed the nipple for 2 weeks. She also said supplementary food. Start feeding and pumping in parallel. I had a well-known electric breast pump, but it didn't suck a drop. And a manual Avent with which I could pump 10-15 ml from each breast. The hand was getting tired. And I realized that I can only filter thanks to the pad with a massage effect. I remove it, it does not suck. On the first day with Avent Ultra Comfort, I pumped 20 ml from each breast. At this point, the child was 6.5 weeks old and I supplemented him with a mixture of 60-90 ml 4-5 times a day. At this age, a portion of food is about 100-120 ml. It turns out, he may not have eaten milk at all. Four days later I could already express 40-60 ml from each breast after eating. A week later, there was a record - 120 from one. Usually I express 60-100 ml from one breast. I practice cluster pumping - when my son sucks one breast, I am the second Avent. Avent is gorgeous in this business - it allows you to use it lying down, thanks to the tilt of the bottle. In general, what I learned with my breast pumps: - My breasts can only be expressed with a massage pad - Standard 24 mm funnels are not suitable for my small nipples.Avent has a silicone pad diameter of 19.5 mm - perfect! Two-phase mode is a great thing! First, the breast is stimulated to produce milk. Then - decant! Avent Ultra Comfort is a lifesaver! With him, I switched to full GW. Now my baby is 8 weeks old and in the last 7 days I have never given formula!

Advantages: Powerful, functional, easy to disassemble, assemble and wash! Gentle, does not hurt the chest. Strain much more efficiently than manual strain! Powered by mains and batteries, button illumination. And of course the stimulation mode! Virtually silent! And this is very important because I pump usually when the baby is sleeping))

Disadvantages: Didn't find it!

Comment: Already with my second baby, I give preference to Avent, the quality, design and functionality are always at their best. I regret that I did not buy an electric breast pump with my first child, lactation was never established ... Now the situation is different!))) This miracle gadget is my most faithful and beloved assistant! Express quickly, no discomfort, you can express in a comfortable position! Manual came out about 80ml, and electronic 120-130, moreover, faster and not as laborious as manual) In general, I advise everyone! Yes, the price is not small, but it's worth it!

Advantages: I really liked the quality. Silicone nozzle petal, it is very soft. A bottle with a pacifier from 0 for a baby. Long cord, no need to bend over. Today I pumped while lying down, breastfeeding my baby with one breast. The cord was enough, it was very convenient and at 1 speed in 10 minutes I received 70 ml of milk. There are 3 speeds, as well as a stimulation mode. It is very easy to figure it out, which is very valuable for a mother of many children with a lack of time. Everything is very convenient. I saw a review that a lot of details need to be sterilized and collected. The bottle and breastpiece are each made up of separate parts, but not many. When I pump, I practically don't feel anything. Everything is very comfortable. Just as you understand, I pumped with the child, this did not interfere with the sleep process at all. Rather acted like white noise. Monotonous not loud sounds. There is also a backlight for each function on the case, it looks cool, the design is generally thought out for us girls. And of course we thought about a tired mother who decares at night, not turning on the light, fearing to wake up the household or taking a nap herself) Conclusion convenience and design, everything is thought out. I would say beauty is in simplicity)

Disadvantages: Of the shortcomings, the price, but for those who really need it, the price comes into the background. For some, for example, the baby is too lazy to take breast, eats only from a bottle, etc. It is very important for me when a personal-use technique such as this product, a hair clipper, a hair dryer, etc., especially one that has many parts, was included with a cover. For example, somewhere on the road, but just put it somewhere. Having recently purchased a children's hair clipper from the same company, we were glad that it has its own case. At this point, my observations about the minuses dried up.

Comment: #testing_the milk pump This is an indispensable thing for mommy. For me, it is not for every day, because we all know that the more you express, the more milk you will receive. This breast pump appeared in our family with the third child. Once, when the first baby appeared, I tried a manual breast pump from the pharmacy, I think the cheapest, nothing worked, I was exhausted and decided that a breast pump is a useless thing. If necessary, it was expressed manually, which was time-consuming and a small amount of milk of about 60 ml. Although I know that I have enough of it, children gain weight up to 6 months at a rate of 1.5 kg per month. I need it for me: 1 like a milk bank, just in case.2 when the child sleeps too much and the chest is full 3 well, this applies to the first, when you need to go somewhere. Get off. For me, this is usually a trip on paper or a trip to the doctor. I would also really like him earlier, in the maternity hospital, when lactation is not working out, the nipples in the blood are very affected. The rest is in + and -. The general feeling is how I used to live without him and thought , which is not very necessary. I have had 3.5 years of feeding experience, but I never had a chance to understand that the thing would have happened.

From birth, my son was fed with formula, because immediately after giving birth, I ended up in intensive care. I began to apply to the chest only at the end of 3 days. And we came home, being on mixed feeding. With the introduction of the breast pump, my hopes for a complete hepatitis B increased. I immediately unpacked the breast pump, sterilized it and started using it. Imagine my surprise when jets of milk sprayed out of my breast during preparation for pumping. But my happiness did not last long. The streams ran out, I tried all 3 pumping modes and got 20 ml of milk. At that moment I was very upset. For a moment, I even felt like a non-dairy mother who had no chance of HV. The husband came to the rescue in time with support, and then the visiting nurse. She advised expressing while breastfeeding and during hot flashes. The first option went off with a bang, but it was not convenient for me to give up everything during sudden tides. Likewise, both the nurse and the husband drew my attention to the fact that if a child feels good, sleeps calmly and "wets diapers" then he is not hungry at all. I also learned that the appearance of a breast pump does not guarantee the appearance of a large amount of milk - it takes time, desire and fruitful work. I continued to express during feedings and to collect the "milk supply". In addition, whenever possible, I offered my son a breast between feedings, drank "magic" lactation tea and tried to remain calm under any circumstances. For 2 weeks of using the breast pump, I had the courage to remove 1 supplement out of 5. My son still sleeps well and "wets" the diapers, which means he has enough food and it makes me happy. But I don't want to stop there, and the transition to full GW remains my cherished goal. In conclusion, I would like to note that this breast pump will perfectly cope with the task of collecting a "milk can". And it will help you do it easily and comfortably. And also, he can help in establishing GW, but in this case, an integrated approach is desirable.

Advantages: "Extracts" more milk than a manual one Good set (you don't need to buy anything additionally) Quiet in operation Works from batteries in the same way as from the mains Compact Easy to disassemble and wash

Disadvantages: Didn't find

Comment: 2 years ago I was already an active user of the product and was satisfied. Moreover, now I can not just test, but compare (there was a manual breast pump from Philips AVEN). The breast pump was delivered by courier (for a mother of a two-week-old baby, this is just a huge plus), the set includes a bottle (the quality is always high) with a minimum flow, two sets of breast pads (a trifle, but nice). I was pleasantly surprised by the mobility of the breast pump, which works not only from the mains, but also from ordinary finger batteries (for active mothers this is very important). The device copes with the functions assigned to it just 5+! I pumped 70-80 ml manually, electric at a minimum capacity of 120-130 ml. Moreover, the whole process takes about 15-20 minutes and does not cause discomfort. True, as the husband says: The sound is too monotonous (laugh) But for some reason the effect is obvious. For a week of use, the breast, if I may say so, "developed" and the baby became more comfortable and easier to get milk.So if you have a choice to buy or not to buy, then the answer is obvious! It's good, of course, when there is no need for additional stimulation and everything works out by itself, but if not, then the Philips AVENT single electric breast pump with massage petals will be a reliable assistant.

Advantages: Ease of use Minimum effort Quality pumping

Comment: Even during pregnancy with my second child, I thought about purchasing a breast pump, since I was planning HS and knew from the experience of the first child that it is difficult: the first month milk arrives unevenly, it’s a lot of it, and it’s not difficult to earn milk stagnation (lactostasis) ". With the first child I had a manual Avent, this helped to keep GW up to 6 months, but this time I want to feed longer and have fun, Irest in" Russian "without straining. In this case I chose the electronic model of the already familiar to me breast pump. With the birth of my second daughter, in the first week I was in for a "surprise" in the form of Lactostasis. Electric Avent gently and almost painlessly helped me get rid of stagnation, thanks to the modes: I started with droplets and ended with the most "hard" ones without feeling pain, which was important with a stone chest. On the second day, I came to my senses and the stagnation went away, I pumped out every hour, and given that the kit comes with a nipple to the bottle, I quickly managed to feed the baby with expressed milk. Also, thanks to the fast operation of the breast pump, I had the opportunity to go away on business, leaving the child with her husband and not feed the formula, namely breast milk. Over time, pumping began to take me 10 minutes from each breast, leafing through the news on the Internet) I am satisfied with the breast pump everything is 100%, and after completing the GW with my second daughter, I will easily think about the GW of the future third child)

Advantages: Compact Long lead Stimulation mode deserves special mention Petal pad Battery operated Quiet (sounds like a cat purring)

Disadvantages: Didn't find

Comment: I am completely delighted with the device! I think that any mother simply needs it in order to feel more mobile)))

Advantages: 1) The vacuum block is tightly screwed to the bottle, and precious drops do not need to be collected later on all over the table, sofa, laptop if you accidentally overturn or tilt the breast pump. Medela in this regard is sinning (hefty leaks right at the point where the thread of the bottle and the block is attached) and she knows about it - even in their instructions it is written that “do not tilt the breast pump more than 45 degrees”. 2) during pumping, the breast remains dry - the very petal soft nozzle prevents the pouring of drops from the funnel to your stomach. To be honest, I have already allocated a separate towel for my belly, because Medela got me in this regard! 3) The compressor block can be operated both from the mains and from four AA batteries, which makes it almost mobile. Almost - because you still can't drag it somewhere out of the house - the assembled Avent weighs 541g without batteries and takes up a rather large volume in a mother's already packed bag. Medela will give a head start here - it weighs only 143g 4) Three modes with different strength and duration of suction. I tried all three - all are comfortable, it doesn't hurt. 5) Works almost silently - washing the dishwasher is even louder. Doesn't wake up a small one)) 6) The set also includes a bottle with a branded Avent petal nipple, two membranes and a rather long power cord, which also speaks of the manufacturer's prudence ☝

Disadvantages: 1. When assembling, it immediately caught my eye: Avent has too many parts, and they are bulky (the vacuum plastic block fits into the sterilizer, taking up a good part of it on the "shelf").Until you sort it out, wash it, sterilize it, you will go crazy. Medells simplified the design to the point of impossibility - I collect it by touch in the dark with one sleepy eye in 10 seconds

Comment: Yes, I am aware that I am practically comparing a broom and a vacuum cleaner, but since the main factor of choice is often the price, here everyone makes a decision for himself.

Advantages: ➖convenient ➖minimum noise during operation ➖ complete set, no need to buy anything ➖ brand = quality ➖ stimulation mode

Disadvantages: ➖ price (not everyone will allow himself such a luxury) ➖ weak vacuum (personally for my chest)

Comment: I recommend this product. Verified brand! Since the electric did not pump me completely, the manual breast pump from this company is just as good !!!!

Advantages: It is painless to express. There are 2 modes - pumping and stimulation. Very comfortably.

Disadvantages: Not detected

Comment: Recommend.
