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.
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.
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.
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.
I’ve been using this pump for about a month now and can officially say my supply has doubled! I’ve sold my Medela Swing and am super happy with this pump! I’m thrilled! 🙂
Easy and less painful than most others when suffering mastitis
I definitely preferred this brand when I was expressing. I had mastitis and found this one to be most comfortable and easier to use.
I would definitely use this again if I had another bubba!
I am second time mum and this time using Avent pump. very happy with my pump. i use it upto 7 times a day with no stress and difficulty. both me and bub are happy and more relaxed.
I have only had experience with this product no ther pumps however I found it great, very portable and easy to use. I borrowed my sister in laws as she no longer needed it and had to leave Bub overnight for a quick trip and I was stopping in the car expressing milk and it was easy.
This electric breast pump is honestly a great way to enable myself a little free time. It works easily and I can then freeze any extra milk I have expressed.
I am a huge fan of Avent products as they are always reliable and trustworthy and this is important to me when choosing products. The Avent breast pump is easy to use and I just wish I had discovered this product a long time ago instead of having difficulty with other products.
My husband bought this for my birthday present, really worth it, easy to clean, compact, easy to use, works well on the breast does not hurt or annoy me in anyway, would recommend to other mums. Small and easy to store and take with you on your travels, So easy to assemble.
I really like this product it’s so easy to use, clean and pack away, I’m getting fairly better results than what I did from my last model and this one is allot more comfortable and allot more convenient. I can use this any time at home without having to worry about fiddling around wasting time and I can stay comfortable and happy while using 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!
they wernt bulky like others and the sofy cover was great esspecially with sore nipples at the start.
I did find all the little fiddly bits hard sometimes to clean ect but great to use otherwise
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.
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.
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.
I am second time mum and this time using Avent pump. very happy with my pump. i use it upto 7 times a day with no stress and difficulty. both me and bub are happy and more relaxed.
I have only had experience with this product no ther pumps however I found it great, very portable and easy to use. I borrowed my sister in laws as she no longer needed it and had to leave Bub overnight for a quick trip and I was stopping in the car expressing milk and it was easy.
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.
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!
Been using the comfort single breast pump for some time now and still love it,
Great to do quick pump to add milk to rice cereal for first food, takes less then a minute to pump a little.
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.
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!
Saved my life. Breast became engorged and bub had trouble at first latching. Now everything is good. Express for when going out. Also allows excesss expressed for later
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

How to choose the best lunch box for school
When you’re searching for a kids’ lunch box, take the time to work out what will best suit their needs. If you make the right choice and invest in a quality one, it will last many years.
Box, bento or bag? If your child doesn’t like different foods touching, a bento lunch box is a great choice. Also, think about whether they prefer cut-up or whole fruit; a bento is better suited to cut food, while bags and boxes suit whole fruit. Bags are fantastic if you like to pack separate containers, like smaller bento or snack containers.
Freshness is a must – An insulated bag or box will keep everything cool and fresh until snack and lunchtime. But you can also get boxes that come with cold and ice packs. Remember, kids’ lunches often sit at room temperature for up to 5 or 6 hours before they’re eaten, so insulation and coolness are important. Check out how to keep school lunches safe in the heat.
Easy-to-clean design – Check if the box is dishwasher-safe, or for lunch bags, if they’re machine-washable.
Leak-proof – The last thing you want is a soggy mess at lunchtime, so if buying a hard lunch box, look for designs that are leak-proof with proper seals.
Child-friendly – Depending on your child’s motor skills and independence, you may need to start with a product that’s simple to open and close.
The right size – We tend to pack way too much in our kids’ lunches, so think about how much realistically you’ll need to pack for your child when choosing the size of their lunch box. You may also need to consider the size of their school bags.

Each is cleverly designed with a removable divider that allows you to choose between using three or four compartments.

Finally, a kids’ lunch box that stores hot AND cold food in one place!

The spill-proof individual compartments mean no mixing of savoury and sweet, and the 280ml double-wall thermos keeps soups and pasta hot for up to six hours!
Health professionals agree that kids need a good balance of lean protein, grains, fruit and vegetables throughout the school day. Skip the processed food and try to reach for whole foods that pack a punch in the nutrient department. Here are some great ideas:
Grilled chicken or turkey wraps with fresh salad
Crackers and vegetable sticks with healthy dips like hummus
Whole-grain pasta with cherry tomatoes and your choice of cheese
Zucchini slice cut into rectangles for easy stacking in an insulated box
Getting ready for the return to school has started to kick in so this was a timely read. We have the yum box and i love it, it is so easy for my daughter to open and close on her own. I find the lunch cooler bags also a great idea however some days depending on what else needs to go to school, they can be quite bulky to include in the school bag. I need to do some more research this year as i like the idea of being able to watch it in the washing machine, that is a clever idea.
Along with all of the other back to school products; there is also a good range of lunch boxes available for people to buy. It has been fun to see the wide range of bottles and lunch boxes that are available for the new year for school and for work.
Lunch boxes have come such a long way since my eldest was a kid, he’s now 26! There’s really a solution to everything from food heating, cooling, dividers, pockets etc etc. Lunch boxes are a real fashion accessory and so on-trend these days. I personally love the Bento lunch boxes. They save on plastic and separate different foods.
I am such a huge fan of Bento lunch boxes and Bento. Food should be so many wonderful things; including delicious, fun, colourful and nutritious too. Lunch is a favourite meal because the body is ready for some more calories and a boost of energy. Food looks so good in Bento lunch boxes.
So so many fantastic options! We use the montii co ones for our kdis and swear by it. Its lasted 3 years so far and still standing strong, like new since the first day using it. They are so durable and i find cleaning them to be the easiest for us.
There are so many great lunch box option out there indeed ! I’ve always liked the Bento style lunch boxes for my kids. It reduces the use of plastic lunch bags and packaged food which aren’t very good for the environment and it encourages to present a good variety of foods (which is not only better nutrition wise but lao to prevent our kids from getting bored with same foods all the time.
There are some really fabulous options here. So many variations of colour, shape and size. I love the bento style lunch boxes, so handy to keep food separate and eliminate the use of plastic packaging. The machine washable bags are a great idea too. They can get grubby so fast, this would be so much easier to maintain
This has gotten much easier since my kids hit high school – they have strong opinions about their lunch boxes, so I don’t have to think about it so much anymore! However, I am strongly in favor of bento style boxes regardless of their age. They’re easy to clean, easy to pack, and invite appropriate sized portions.
Great article! Our kids are so lucky, when it comes to lunchboxes, they really are spoilt for choice. There are so many to pick from. Regarding sandwiches, my eldest son, used to hate sandwiches for school lunches. It wasn’t until many years later that I discovered that he’d throw out his sandwiches in the playground bins. My son’s an adult now and he still hates sandwiches. He only likes “hot” lunches. So glad he lives on his own now and can make his own “hot” lunches just the way he likes them.
This is an extremely useful article!! 2 schppl going kids and third starting kinder soon means we are always on the lookout for lunch ideas and lunch boxes. This is a great list with features and prices listed to make the search easier and help with decision making for purchasing of the lunch boxes
This is super useful article and thank you. I can see so variety of lunch boxes from every store. Always wonder which one would be more convenient to use by little hands. I love some of these lunchboxes to give it a try for this year. And then decide to go with suitable ones
Wow, lunch boxes have really come such a long way from when I was taking a lunch box to school. Feel old, like “back in my day”, but we were lucky to have options like are available now. While I like some of these designs, I feel like they aren’t super practical.
These lunchboxes are beautiful but are they really worth the expensive price tag? I have been through so many lunch boxes and bags over the years and found the best it to use an insulated lunchbox bag with ice brick and use small containers to keep individual items fresh and assessable.
I love the bbox lunch boxes. They are so reliable and tough when kids throw their bags around. Easy to wash and store. I have used the we can be tiny snackies at home too. The boys love choosing a certain animal shape. They wash well, are durable and great quality.
My kids are old enough now to pack their own lunches and I am so happy to see the great choices they are making. They take left over meals, cook food in the morning to take and now I am confident they aren’t throwing away sandwiches! I do have the chilly bags for them, I find they fit better into bags
My daughter uses a bento box now for work and sometimes an insulated bag in summer, but when she was at school it was a rectangular lunch box with no compartments. It was very easy to wash each day, just the box and lid, and it could still be filled with rolls/sandwiches and snacks.
Lunchboxes are so important these days. Back in my day it was a brown paper bag or the exact same lunch box that everyone else had and there were three compartments. Today its such a fashion statement and as much as the lunchbox itself is judged so are the contents.
I absolutely love the bb box quite sturdy. It took many lunch box to find one that would last. Before this lunch box we had a stuck on you. I found the stuck on you lunch box didn’t last when the hinge’s snapped they wouldn’t get back to me (only had for a short time and my youngest couldn’t open it so it wasn’t dropped. Just opened it after the 8th time and snapped). The bb box has lasted the last year and a half and still going strong
What a great help for busy Mommas like us. From the style to comfort and convenience, this article really put the best for our kids. Not to mention the added info about safety on what these lunchboxes were made of! I am also impressed about the organisation function of each, it seems small but woooh could put so much…thanks for sharing this article
