Does anyone know where I can get parts for the above, I only got it when ds2 was born 14 weeks ago and now I am starting to want to give him a few bottles I want to use it, unfortunatly, it has a few bits that can't go in a microwave steraliser, and dp has thrown them out as I left them on the side (prat).
I have looked for maws website but can't seem to find it. Thanks if anyone can help!

what parts do you need?

Sorry, it's the only type of pump I've never tried. Is it new? How interesting. How does it work?

boots are seeling the whole pump system for £12.50 at the moment....maybe it would be cheaper to got one like that? It all depends on what parts you need? Have you tried ringing maws helpline?

Thats the one I got from boots! I need the parts that can't be steralised in the mocrowave. To be honest I have only used it once and it hurt a bit, but after buying 3 medela (think thats what they were called) electric ones and taking them back as they all broke I gave up on the electric and got this one from boots.
I would phone maws helpline if I could find the blasted number or website

Spikeycat, I just looked the system up on the net - it's the same as the Boots own brand, isn't it. If you say it hurt, I agree - it's also horribly fiddly, isn't it - personally if you're having problems I'd just go for the Avent, which is a bit pricier but gentler.

OK, I'll bog off and mind my own business now.

I agree with motherinferior about going for an Avent Isis if it would be affordable for you to do so. I would imagine even one of the Medela hand pumps would be preferable to the Maws. Maws was the first one I tried and it nearly put an end to me expressing! I found it painful and unnatural, certainly in comparison to the Avent. I had a google for their (Maws) contact details too, to no avail.
