This is the feedback thread for the 150 Mumsnetters who are trying the Philips Avent Natural Manual Breast Pump.

Here's what Philips AVENT say, "When you are comfortable and relaxed, your milk flows more easily. That's why we created our most comfortable breast pump yet: Sit comfortably with no need to lean forwards and let our soft massage cushion gently stimulate your milk flow. The breast pump has a unique design, so your milk flows directly from your breast into the bottle, even when you are sitting up straight. The breast pump has a compact design, which makes it easy to position. Its ergonomically-shaped handle offers a comfortable hold and full control when expressing milk. Being small and lightweight means it is easy to store and transport, making pumping on-the-go more discreet."

Q1. Please detail how would you describe the breast pump to friends/family if it came up in conversation?

Compact manual single breast pump

Q2. How comfortable did you find the breast pump to use?

Very comfortable in the boob but the handle was quite small so when usin for a while my hand was a bit strained

Q3. How easy did you find the breast pump to use?

Really easy. Parts fit together easily and simply.

Q4. If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Philips Avent Natural Manual Breast Pump to friends and/or family?

Yes if they wanted a manual. Depends what they needed a pump for though as it wouldn't be a substitute for an electronic one for people who express a lot. I use mine for expressing milk for occasional bottle use (attempted- lo isn't keen!) or for cooking for my baby so I don't need huge amounts.

Q5. Will you continue to use your Philips Avent Natural Manual Breast Pump? If so, why? If not, why not
Yes absolutely.

Q1 a manual breast pump operated by hand which pumps directly into a bottle. Small compact and light.

Q2 unfortunately not very. I think this would work best for smaller breasts than mine and think anything above a d cup might struggle... its a shame as I liked the feel of the comfort flange but I suppose they are made for average sized breasts rather than very large or small.

Q3 the pump itself is very easy to use.

Q4 as above this would depend on the breast size of the person asking.

Q5. Sadly not. I have passed it on to another mum to try. I wish this came with different sized flanges or at least the option to buy them.

just to reassure people with large hands a and large breasts, I hAve both and this pump worked really well for me.

I think it is very individual which pump works for each woman, and as there is a high failure rate, I would love more information about the problems with using second hand pumps.

Not everyone Can afford to try three or four if they cost 20 + quid new.
