Introducing the Philips AVENT Comfort Single Electric Breast Pump – Your essential breastfeeding companion.

Breast milk is without a doubt the best for your baby’s start in life. But every mother is different and you may need some assistance to ensure you are able to breast feed for longer. Philips AVENT understand this and have developed a range of products to support you in your feeding journey.

Getting a breast pump as part of preparation for baby is the first step. A breast pump can help you establish supply but also allows you to share the feeding experience with loved ones.

Finding the best breast pump for you is easy with the help of the Philips AVENT Comfort Breast pump range.

Philips Avent Comfort single electric breast pump … 

When you’re comfortable and relaxed, your milk flows more easily.* That is why Philips Avent has created their most comfortable breast pump yet for easy expressing at a touch of a button. Now you can sit comfortably while expressing with no need to lean forward, while the soft massage cushion gently stimulates your milk flow giving you and your baby the most comfortable and natural feeding experience. So, whether you’re breastfeeding, bottle feeding or both, the new Comfort range from Philips Avent is designed with you in mind.

Unique, natural expressing position

The Comfort breast pump is the only pump that allows mothers to express in a comfortable position instead of leaning forward, which often leads to discomfort and back pain. Sitting up straight will allow the milk to flow directly from the breast into the container. This improved expressing position helps mothers feel more comfortable and as a result, express more milk naturally.

Clinically proven to be effective

The Comfort breast pump features our clinically proven massage cushion with soft petals that gently compress the breast to stimulate milk flow.  The innovative cushion has a distinctive, velvety texture that feels warm on the breast, further helping mothers to relax whilst expressing. The removable cushion also prevents milk pooling, aiding hygiene and eliminating the risk of lost milk.

Simple Settings

To stimulate the let-down reflex, mothers can start in a gentle stimulation mode then they can choose from 3 expression settings, depending on their preference for suction intensity.

Easy to combine breast and bottle feeding

Combining breast and bottle has never been easier with the new Natural bottles and Comfort breast pump range. The Natural bottle and Comfort breast pump integrate fully, so mothers can pump, store and feed with the same Natural feeding bottle-without the need to transfer milk.

Philips AVENT – Supporting you every step of the way.

*More comfort: 82% of 64 UK breastfeeding mothers agreed that this breast pump was more comfortable than their current pump (main market brands). Home placement test carried out in the UK in 2011 with 73 first time mothers – 94% of mums strongly agree that being comfortable while expressing is important for good milk flow. More milk naturally; independent research has shown that there is a link between stress levels and milk production. Burton PM, Kennedy K Ahluwalia J, Nicholl R, Lucas A, Fewtrell M.

  • Makes Expressing Simple

    The Philips AVENT Comfort Single Electric Breast Pump made expressing milk very simple. The product is very easy to set up, pack away and clean. The controls assist in making sure that you produce as much milk as possible while not being rough on you. The manual breast pump I was using became quite tiring to use. I would defiantly recommend this electric product to any breast feeding mother.

  • Love this

    I used this breast pump when my daughter was a smaller bub. It was fantastic, nice and gentle. It helped get a good supply plus extra to keep in the freezer. I loved all of the different settlings and the ability to put the bottle straight onto a connection to feed directly to my baby. I highly recommend all avent products to all new mums. This was the better of three different breast pumps that I tried.

  • Great pump

    I purchased the avent manual breast pump which I found to be not so great. I learnt the hard way after trying to express and not working. I almost gave up but we decided to purchase the electric pump. The best thing I did. This way my baby could get the best milk. I no longer use it. But wil definitely use it if we have another baby.

  • Love it!!!

    This is the First time I'm using the pump and I'm very impressed! The most noticeable change with this pump for me was the way the pump works while you can sit back in a chair..It is so nice to be able to be relaxed while you pump! I always dreaded pumping as I knew it would mean hunching forward over the pump so that milk would flow into the bottle..

    This increased comfort feels like such a luxury! And I think it contributed to the amount of milk I was able to collect! As I said already…very impressed so far!

  • Growing on me

    I have to say that i love this breast pump. i've not used another brand prior to this one though, so can't comment on a comparison. This is rather easy to use. IT is easy to pull apart and clean. The gentle sucking action gets you started, then you simply choose the "strength" based on your flow. The plastic does yellow after a while however.

  • Yellows with time

    Further to my first review on this pump, I have attached a picture of the yellowing of the plastic parts of the pump with time. This is despite cleaning thoroughly and storing properly. Of course it does not affect the usage at all (I hope). Still a very versatile pump, not too big either so could use it at work if necessary. This is the only pump I have used so can't compare whether it is more or less effortless than other brands.

  • Great little breastpump

    I was unfortunately not chosen to review this breast pump, but I have purchased one anyway, so will give my 2 cents here. The pump is very easy to assemble. Initially I had trouble getting used to the pump, but now it is so easy to use. You simply use one function to create the flow, then depending on how full you are, you can use the other functions to empty faster. The only problem that i have is that after storage for a short period, the clear plastic parts have become yellow tinged. Even after cleaning and storing properly.

    I really liked this breast pump when I had to express to leave my son for a few hours. I found the one pump though a little frustrating and prefer my current double breast pump just because it is different.

  • Adequate but prefer other brand

    I tried this advent breast pump and whilst it was easy to use I did have trouble getting enough milk out, I switched to a different brand that was able to suction it out more easily. I would recommend it though as an alternative for other mothers to try. Every woman is different so it may suit them better than it did me.

  • One month in and still happy!

    I've now been using the Philips Avent Comfort Single Electric Breast Pump for just over a month. It's been an absolute life saver given the strict pumping regime I've been on to get some weight on my now 9 week old bub. It's so much simpler to do having a hand free. I just have to ensure my nipple is correctly positioned at all time for maxim output. Overall, it's easy to use and does the job efficiently. I'm so glad I had the opportunity to check it out and have no hesitation in recommending it to other mums!

    What a amazing pump after having many children and using lots of different pumps this one stands out by far.

    So easy to set up and just as easy to take apart and clean.

    I did not feel like a cow being milked as it was so quiet and was so gentle to use

    Loved the fact I could express straight to a bottle for feeding.

  • Happiness in a magical package!

    Doing my final review today. I am so grateful for the opportunity to review this pump! Last Thursday my dentist free lifestyle (apart from annual checkup and clean) came to an end when my delightful wisdom tooth reared its ugly head... Right through my gum and into my cheek! Knowing that I'm going to have to have it removed (unsure if in the chair or hospital) I know this will mean time away from bubs. Thankfully this little magic machine is here! Pumping away with ease to make sure I have enough milk. I'm off to the dentist for the verdict today. Again, I'm so happy with this pump and how easy it is making pumping for me and bubs. Cleaning is a breeze too... Which is great because I hate washing up!! Thanks again for the opportunity Mouths of Mums; and thanks Avent for creating a fantastic product!

  • So comfortable you could fall asleep

    Unfortunately my daughter didn't take to the breast so I was dreading using a pump of any kind. But after having a good look at a few different models I chose this one. The soft cushioned cups are like massaging pillows that do all the work for you! That was great! And I could put the milk straight into her avent bottles, then the fridge, sounds too easy doesn't it? As a single mum it made life so so much easier.

    Thanks Avent/ Phillips

If every school week is more like an episode of Survivor at your place, don’t worry, you’re not alone! The struggle to stay on top of the school week mayhem is real – so we’ve put together a bunch of clever ideas to give you back some precious time (and sanity).

There’s nothing difficult about these tips, just solid advice and ideas from a mum who’s been in the school trenches for over a decade.

1. Teach The Kids To Make Some Simple Breakfasts

Healthy Breakfast Cookies
Four Ingredient Healthy Breakfast Cookies

 

Hang on, this is about breakfast, why are we showing you a picture of mouth-watering cookies?! These are Four Ingredient Healthy Breakfast Cookies – perfect for a prep-ahead school day brekkie!

Depending on their age there are so many safe and easy breakfasts kids can make themselves. From toasties, to yoghurt pots prepped the night before or just cereal. Not having to make breakfast for everyone will literally save you hours every week!

2. Lay Out Clothes For The Week

Use a hanging organiser or labelled baskets for each day. Include uniforms, socks and undies. Kids can dress themselves without the drama of missing items. I’ll be honest, my kids’ uniforms are expensive, so I wash during the week as they only have a couple of sets. However, if nothing else, having just socks and underwear sorted for the week is an absolute lifesaver!

 

The other huge help is not having to pre-treat stains on my kids’ uniforms, nobody has time for that during the week! My extra tip here is to use a great quality laundry detergent that is powerful enough to remove stains in-wash, so you don’t need to worry about pre-treating. Biozet Attack’s range is perfect, and while each product packs a punch when it comes to lifting stains, I love that each targets different issues. For example, Biozet Attack Plus Eliminator Power Capsules eliminate 99.9% of odour-causing bacteria – great for teenage boy school shirts! There’s also Biozet Attack Plus Sensitive 2L which is dermatologically tested, but still powers through stains.

3. Use A Family Calendar System

 

Whether it’s a wall planner, a shared phone calendar or a digital calendar, you need everyone to be able to track all activities, due dates and after-school commitments in one place. It also helps gives the kids a a sense of responsibility and doesn’t leave everything on your shoulders!

4. Plan A Weekly School Admin Session

Answer school emails, sign permission forms, top up canteen accounts and check term calendars in one go instead of daily interruptions. You may only need to do this fortnightly or monthly, but just make sure you schedule it in your calendar. Trust me, it saves so much time compared to juggling things bit by bit!

5. Quick-Fire Cleaning Sessions

Set a timer for ten minutes in the afternoon, pop on some music and everyone tidies their zone. This includes the kids emptying their lunchboxes, washing their drink bottles, handing you any notes and putting their clothes in the wash. Small bursts like this stop the house turning into chaos by Friday.

6. Have A Snack Station

Keep a drawer or fridge shelf filled with ready portions. Kids can pack their own snacks for school, and also grab something to eat when they get home. Think ahead and include them in the weekly shopping – ask them what snacks they would like (and cross your fingers they’ll still like them all week!).

7. Set Up A Family Charging Station

One spot for iPads, laptops and phones. No searching for chargers or discovering a dead laptop ten minutes before school! Make sure each child puts their school device on charge when they get home, as part of their Quick-Fire Cleaning Session.


While we can’t promise your school weeks won’t have moments of chaos, taking some of these tips on board will save you time – even if it’s just five minutes here and there. It’s about building realistic habits for the whole family, that will hopefully bring some calm to the school week.

Mouths of Mums is proudly working with Biozet Attack to bring you this article.

  • There are some great ideas here! I just use an old school paper calender but its so helpful to remember all the important dates – i always buy a family planner one so theres columns for each of us to write what were doing om certain days so we never run out of space! I need a snack station, but struggle to have healthy (or healthier) choices in the cupboard apart from the usual chips, rice crackers and museli bars!

    Reply

  • There are some good hints here! I already do have a little snack station in my pantry – a large container filled with all sorts of bars, etc. It’s the first place the kids look for something to eat. I do like the idea of a charging station but I don’t think it would work in my house. Everyone seems to like charging things in their room and it could look messy with multiple cords.

    Reply

  • The struggle is real so I’m loving these hints. I especially like the idea of getting the kids involved in preparing their own lunches and snacks and offering a variety of options that will hopefully encourage them to make healthy choices now and into the future.

  • A great article full of very helpful and handy tips. Most of these I already do but it has reminded me to add a few other things to my list to organise before the school year starts in a couple of weeks. Helpful tips like this are so great as you can never remember everything and this sure has given me a few extra things to think about.

  • We do daily life admin because it simply makes life easier to stay on top of everything that is required to run a family and household. Planning and organisation is so vital for every family and for a household. It really is very important to stay on top of all things at all times.

  • I love this article. I can relate to a lot of these ideas. For instance, I have a snack shelf in my pantry so my kids can choose and pack their own snacks. No more asking them what they want. We also have a family charging station in the kitchen. iPads, laptops and phones are only allowed to be charged on the kitchen bench. I love the healthy cookies. I must give these a go. The family calendar system is a must too!

    Reply

  • I totally agree with most of these. We bought some inexpensive cereal dispensers, and that made mornings much easier. And school admin? For me, that is every Wednesday right before a regular appointment. It fitted in perfectly, I never overlooked anything, and if I didn’t need it it was a glorious burst of free time.

  • I love this article and the tips and already follow many of them. I have always been a big fan of schedules and planners and they simply make sense and make sure everyone in the family is on task. I also love snack stations; one for the fridge and one for the pantry; again it makes sense and makes preparing food and lunchboxes and snack times easy.
