Expressing at work - any one know of a hand pump that doesn't creak!

[MillyH]

Hi, back to work today. Expressing at lunchtime worked very well except for the loud creaking produced by my (old) Avent Isis breast pump. It's weird, some sessions it is quiet as a mouse but others it seems to be like the church door in a hammer horror movie. I can lock the office door, but I actually heard people in the corridor talking about "where is that creaking noise is coming from". Sorry I am just not big and brave enough to annouce my cow-like activities to the whole office.

Can anyone reccomend a non-creaky pump? Or a way of stopping an Avent model creaking - or is it just my old model that's the problem?
Thx.

dont press the handle fully down.....

I always used a battery powered hand held one but presumably that's even noisier. You can ask for a room to do it in if you want to, ask HR, privately about it. No one has to know.

Thanks - I'll give the Medela a go. Have decided in the past that I am just not an electric pump girl. Somehow just can't relax when attached one of those things.
