  • Had this pump for my first child and it just never worked right. The suction was off and the massage cushion always seemed to fit me wrong. Overall I was super disappointed with this purchase. May 09, 2023

  • Skip this one. The suction is lacking and therefore takes extra long. If you plan to pump, invest in one that has good suction and is a double. I had to go and buy a different one. Aug 17, 2022

  • I loved this breast pump. It worked great for me. It was super comfortable and the different modes worked well. It is also super easy to clean and maintain which is a huge plus. Sep 23, 2020

  • I received this as a gift for my baby shower. The pros of this pump are that it has different speeds which is great for people with a heavy let down. The cons are it’s very loud and hard to clean. Jan 31, 2020

  • A luxury must! The manual one is already awesome! But for those who are less comfortable pumping manually, you should get the electric one. Save a lot of time! Jan 10, 2020

  • An average product Pros 1 soft for sensitive nipples 2 easy to use Cons 1 poor suction 2 noisy 3 takes a lot of time to empty breast Aug 20, 2019

  • This pump does the job and I appreciate that it can be portable. However, it is a slow process so I would recommend the double instead. Mar 12, 2019

    While this product was quiet and compact, I found it ineffective for an exclusive pumper like myself! Would work well for occasional use. May 17, 2018

  • This breast pump caused too much discomfort. I was bummed about it because it had so much potential and the stimulation mode was more comfortable than the other brand I use. Apr 19, 2018

  • It is super comfortable. Easy to clean. Feel like the flange is a little too short. Apr 17, 2018

  • The Philips Avant electric pump is a good, single electric pump. It efficiently and comfortably extracted milk in a variety of different suction strengths though it was almost too gentle at times. Apr 17, 2018

  • (what's this?)

    The pump is compact, can operate on battery, Or adapter its great for travel and for the occasional pumper. It’s super comfortable and easy to clean. I do wish that there were more speed/suction setti Apr 17, 2018

  • (what's this?)

    Philips Avent Single Electric Breast Pump was a free product from WeeSpring Parent panel. Thank you letting me try out his pump. The pump was great, easy to use. I liked the the different settings. Apr 16, 2018

    I work full time so a single electric is not my daily use pump but this was good for the early days of nursing while on maternity leave. It's small, so I'd imagine it would be good for traveling too. Apr 16, 2018

    This is best for occasional use ex: pump a small bottle, relieve engorgement quickly, or just need to pump one breast. Notfor working or EP moms. Easy to set up and clean. Speed could be faster. Apr 16, 2018

  • (what's this?)

    I am a full-time working mom, so pumping is a necessity in my world. During the work day, I use a double pump, however at home, I really enjoyed using the Philips Avent Single Electric Breast Pump! Apr 16, 2018

  • (what's this?)

    Easy to use. Better suction for me than others in this price range. Quiet. Easy to clean. Love the letdown simulator. Gentle on the nipples. Apr 16, 2018

  • (what's this?)

    This is seriously the most comfortable pump I have ever used! Very easy to assemble and clean too! Definitely recommend... Apr 16, 2018

    Lacking power and efficiency. Flange size was way too large for me. Apr 16, 2018

    I was very successful when using this pump and if you’re looking for a single breast pump this is a great option. It’s easy to use and clean. My baby is not a fan of the bottles, which is unfortunate. Apr 16, 2018

  • (what's this?)

    Philips Avent Single electric breast pump is a very nice product that I received from weeSpring parents panel it is so easy to use and clean up as well , as good at collection of milk Apr 15, 2018

  • (what's this?)

    I love how simple this breast pump is to use.It’s small and compact and easy to disassemble to wash. One thing I liked most was that the cups Are so comfortable. Apr 15, 2018

  • (what's this?)

    Eaay to use and clean. Comfy. Small and easy to transport. Limited settings mean its not super personalizable. Apr 15, 2018

  • (what's this?)

    That it was so easy to use, Had three different settings, stimulates my breast to get that milk to flow. Thanks to WeeSpring Parent Panel For letting me test out this product for free. Apr 13, 2018

  • (what's this?)

    I wanted to breastfeed my second son as long as possible. With my first son I have to supplement and eventually switch to formula due to some unfortunate circumstances. I had breast augmentation surge Apr 13, 2018

  • (what's this?)

    The primary drawback is the lack of power. My sessions took 3-5 min longer with this pump than with a different brand. If you are pumping 4+ times a day, 7 days a week, I'd hesitate to recommend it. Apr 13, 2018

    I was very much in need of an electric breast pump because I only had a manual one. This product made it easier to pump milk. I also loved the setting options of how fast to pump. It’s also portable. Apr 13, 2018

    Only breast pump I have ever owned, as I don't pump too frequently (maybe once a week or so) and it has worked well for me! Mar 22, 2018

  • (what's this?)

    Pump worked as well as any other commercial pump I've tried, but was quieter, which I appreciated. The silicone, while soft, attracted lint and hair too easily. Feb 25, 2018

  • (what's this?)

    Easy to clean, set up & disassemble! 3 options of suction w/ a VERY strong suck as well as a stimulate feature. Pumps quietly but has great strength. Option to use battery rather than cord! Love it! Jan 04, 2018

    Why weeLove Milkflow Lactation Cookies:

    In case you need a valid excuse to eat cookies, here’s a really good one: boosting milk supply. Nursing moms need to fuel their bodies to keep up with the demands of milk production and new parenthood. (If you’ve been wearing the same pants for three days—we get it, girl!) While lactation teas, capsules and powders aren’t for everybody, cookies most certainly are.

    Milkflow™ from UpSpring created the first ever lactation cookies made with the dream team of ingredients: Fenugreek and Blessed Thistle. These two essentials work together to help naturally promote breast milk supply in those early days, during your baby’s growth spurts (when you’re glued to the glider for feedings!), and pumping sessions.

    Available in Oatmeal Raisin and Double Chocolate Chip, cookies are non-GMO and made in the USA with all natural ingredients. These tasty treats come in packs of two—perfect for tossing in your diaper bag for a healthy snack on the go. Each box comes with 10 packs (20 cookies total), so you’ll be able to keep your milk production going strong while keeping “Hangry Mom Running Errands” at bay. It’s a win-win.
