The Manual Breast Pump is designed for comfort. There is nothing better you can give your baby than the health-enhancing benefits of breast milk. Philips AVENT's range of breast pumps and accessories have been designed to help you do so for as long as you like, as easily as possible. The revolutionary design of AVENT pumps has been acclaimed by mothers and health professionals worldwide. Unique Active Massage Cushion for Optimum Comfort The Philips AVENT Manual Breast Pump is the easiest-to-use breast pump as recommended by UK Mums (see below). It was the first ever designed pump to stimulate milk flow in a way that closely mimics the suckling action of a baby. There is simply no gentler, faster or more natural way to express milk. This manual breast pump has not only been clinically proven to be as effective as a hospital-grade electric pump, it was also rated significantly more comfortable and pleasant to use. Being stressed or in a hurry can make it more difficult to release your milk and can also affect your milk supply. So feeling comfortable and relaxed really helps. The AVENT manual breast pump has been designed to increase your comfort when you are pumping. Clinically Proven Results (details below) The gentle-draw vacuum that mimics a baby's natural suckling action gets more milk than a hospital grade double electric pump. An independent clinical trial conducted by leading British paediatricians and infant nutrition specialists compared the performance of the Philips AVENT Manual Breast Pump and a hospital-grade electric pump. Published by Pediatrics (the official journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics) in June 2001, the randomised trial proved that mothers using the Philips AVENT Manual Breast Pump expressed more milk than those using a hospital-grade electric breast pump.
