Avent provides new mothers with all the necessary items that a breast pump manufacturer should have. You can get everything from a single electronic breast pump to a double one, portable kits to at-home use kits. But one thing they do better than anyone is realize that not all mothers want to give their breast milk to their child in a permanent bottle. For differing personal reasons, some moms would prefer to give their newborn their breast milk in a bottle with a disposable liner. Avent breast pumps are the only ones that allow for this type of storage when you are on the go.
Even if you don't use them, you have probably seen the disposable liners that are on the baby isle. They usually come in a rather large pack of at least 50. These are generally for mothers who wish to use formula for their child's food instead of breast milk. You would simply wrap the liner around the neck of the bottle, insert formula, close it with the cap and nipple and feed to your child.
The advantage of such a liner is that you can eliminate air from the bottle, unlike with a traditional bottle. This means less air gets into the baby's system, so you have to burp them less. They will also eat more this way without having to stop multiple times for burping.
The ISIS Avent breast pump with disposable liners allows breast feeding mothers to use these liners by pumping the milk gently into a disposable liner instead of a traditional bottle. With so little air inside the lined bottle, it is as close to mommy's breast as the child can get. Breast fed children do not have to generally burp as much as bottle fed ones, and these liners try to mimic that effect.
Of course, there are also the regular Avent breast pump models that also allow you to pump the milk into the old fashioned bottles. These come with breast cups that are especially designed to feel like your baby. This helps you produce more milk with a better flow. Avent has a large line of manual pumps for mothers who don’t need or want an electric pump. This means that you get to control how slow or fast you pump. All parts come pre-sterilized including bottles and tops.
The portable electronic Avent breast pump comes in a carry-all bag that you are probably familiar with if you have ever been around breast feeding mommies. Most of the models come with something they call 'electric memory.' This handy feature allows you to find the most comfortable settings (in terms of speed of pumping and other things) and have the machine memorize them for you.
This means that instead of manually adjusting the settings every time you use your Avent breast pump, the pump will set automatically for you. Of course, you can still adjust if you want a different speed but the ability for the machine to 'learn' what you like is unique and convenient.
Avent breast pumps are notoriously quiet so that you can have privacy in any public bathroom. The kits also come with gel packs that can be frozen ahead of time to keep your pumped milk fresh until you can get home and give it to baby. |
