What is a good breast pump. Is the avent one ok?

I like the medela pump-in-style although, with my first baby, I used one from Bailey. It worked OK, but it was really noisy and when you tried to do both breasts at once the suction was uneven. The medela is much better.
It's not one of those hospital-grade pumps, but it's also about 10% of the cost (to buy).

A good breast pump is one that can be easily taken apart and put back together with no problem. Their are a few on the market that are and work wonderful. The one that I used on my children was Gerber (Electric) It was very comfortable, quite and worked great. I sure that the Avent one is just as good. Good Luck.

I have used the pump in style and a rental from the hospital. I can definitely say that the hospital rental was worth the extra money for me. It has a stronger sucking action, which helps the milk come down faster. I used to pump in style with my second, but it did not efficiently empty my breasts. Now, with my third, I am back to the hospital rental. I can easily pump in 10-15 minutes.

i use the avent isis manual pump. so far so good.
its comfortable for me and convenient. i can pump one breast while the baby nurses from the other. it was inexspensive too. it only cost around 50 dollars. i was comtemplating renting one from the hospital but i heard it was hard to manage an electronic one. so i opted for the avent one. its easy and i enjoy it. hope this is helpful information.

I had an avent one which was fine, but to be honest i got really fed up using it- it takes ages. I would splash out on an electric one next time definately. a little hand held is great for those engorged days, but if you are trying to express for storage, go electric!

The Advent pump is okay, but I think whatever one you feel is the most comfortable for you. I recommend using a Gerber manual pump and it works just fine and is really comfortable.
