Thanks for this video. I always asked mothers who uses breast pump about how's it's done but no one gives a satisfying answer. You made it easy to understand and use. I appreciate it.

Omg that’s how the little storage cap is used 😱 I couldn’t figure it out 😂 thank you so much!

[@isabelfaith]

You're welcome! These pumps can be so tricky to figure out!

[@naanainkoom8637]

I had no clue either 😂😂😂

[@subarnadutta5693]

extremely helpful... and no waste of time by talking unnecessary thingd

I LOVEEEEEEEEEEE the way you explained the whole thing!!! Best review of this product thank you! Greetings from Panama🇵🇦

[@isabelfaith]

Thank you so much for this compliment! I am so glad my videos could help you

[@godsangel47]

the combo of haka and manual pump is a good idea.

[@isabelfaith]

Thank you so much! Glad this was helpful :)

[@mavrckksk]

Very informative. Could you make an video about Avent v Medela Manual Pump

[@isabelfaith]

Yes! Thank you for this great video idea

[@TheLordsPrayerAmen]

@@isabelfaith thank you so much!

[@heisse8907]

What a great and informative video. I agree with everyone else, you speak so eloquently. I have 2 questions. My first question is, when you’re using this pump, do you pump the lever the entire time you’re pumping? My second question is, I’m guessing you don’t use a pumping bra with this, how do you get it to stay attached to your breast? I’ve never used a manual pump like this before. Our first son was born 6 weeks premature and I loved the models pump at the hospital but I have a spectra s2 at home. I felt like I didn’t get as good milk production with my spectra, but our son was in the NICU and when I used mt spectra I was at home vs the medals I was at the hospital with my son. This time around we’re having another boy and it looks like we will be induced a few days after 37w due to health complications again. I have high hopes that this one won’t be in the NICU and we will be able to initiate breastfeeding right away. I was contemplating getting a haaka. I tried it with our first son But I don’t think I was using it properly and I had terribly low milk supply so it just served to frustrate me. 😣 Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

[@naanainkoom8637]

I used this hand pump (and two other pumps medela electric and elvie ) and I loved this pump . To answer your question yes yes you need to keep pressing the lever the entire time which is one disadvantage cus at some point I started getting hand cramps but I guess that’s just the whole point of manual .. you’re doing all the work … however I just say the extraction is 100! Worth getting a few hand cramps for a lot of milk 😂😂 To answer question two you can’t actually attach it to your boob you need to hold it throughout

[@mansisejpal1119]

Hey I have a flat nipple issue so the standard size cushion doesn't work for me it seems, as there isn't any suction at all. Any advice on how to tackle this issue? Do I need to get a smaller sized cushion ?

[@faithlangheeyi973]

Hi! Isabel~ I am waiting for my first son and your reviews are super helpful to know everything about it! You are so good at teaching and explaining perfect way! Thank you so much and I also absolutely interested in to know about glass bottles of Philips Avent and It says this bottle doesn’t give babies air to drink it and I would like to know is this truly works or not 😁👍🏻

[@isabelfaith]

Hi Faith! Thank you so much for the compliment! I am so happy that my review could help you. iI have been using their Glass bottles for 6 months & they do not allow air into the bottle. Would you like me to do a review on their Glass bottles?

[@ashladona1282]

Hello Isabella... How we can store milk in glass bottle?? How long we can use the milk in room temperature??

[@isabelfaith]

@@ashladona1282 Hi Ashley, you can use the sealing discs & the ring from the nipple (if you haven't seen this in my video it's at 1:19, where I explain & show you how to turn the ring into a sealing cap so you can use your bottles as milk storage containers). Also, milk is only fresh left out for 4 hours, those are the CDC guidelines for Breastmilk. I usually will leave mine out for 6-7 hours, but that's just personally what I do. I also smell & taste it to make sure it's still fresh! :) I hope this helps!

[@bellag.3282]

Best review on this pump & bottle system! Thanks! 🥰

[@isabelfaith]

Thank you so much! I am so happy this helped you

[@sheilahernandez7425]

Thaaankyou for the review. I just have a question 😅. Do you sterilized after every pump or just wash it ? For example at the beach, you wash it and save it where ? Or how ? .

[@ap19840]

Thank you so much for this video!!! You saved me!

[@isabelfaith]

So glad to hear this! I have an updated version of this video on my channel if you want to know how to use it! :) Thank you for watching!!!

[@mahimarathore916]

Thanks Isabele It was really helpful 👍🏻

[@sokoyamosunmola4486]

Thanks for the video Have been using for s month but like 3days now it did not work it did not hold the breast firmly so it did not pump pls ma what can be the problem

[@michellemetanad7299]

Hello! I’m not sure if you mentioned this but which manual pump do you recommend?! I was thinking of purchasing the medela manual pump ☺️

[@isabelfaith]

Hi I personally love all my Hand Pumps but the Avent tends to be my favorite. Every woman is different though so sometimes the only real way to know is to try them for yourself and see what's comfortable for you. I also have a video comparing the Avent, Medela & Lansinoh on my channel. I hope that helps! :) Thank you so much for watching & commenting! XOXO

Please ma'am I have exactly this breast pump but have tried fixing it to pump breast milk severally but all to no avail.After fixing it and put in in my breast it doesn't get the nipple tight to pump 😢. Please I seriously need your assistance. Also how to make my breast milk to be full and flow very well.Thank you

[@shairapica6846]

you don't need to remove the valve when pumping? bought this exact pump just don't know how to use it yet. thanks a lot! (expecting mom)

[@isabelfaith]

No. You always want the valve in your pump! You are so welcome :)

[@iheartbaikrapao]

Thanks so much for this video! Which pump do you prefer and recommend - the Madela hand pump or the Philips Avent hand pump?

[@nethansmomma9795]

I really need sth that will pump milk well without sores or pain Sth effective too Can i really trust this..?🤷‍♀️🤔

[@warday9455]

Hey cant decide on getting an electric or hand pump my main concern is emptying my breast i have a hakka but not sure if a hand pump or electric will work better

[@mercycalistus7742]

This works super fast and good Got mine today Very happy I got this😊

[@warday9455]

@@mercycalistus7742 thank you yes i got one i love it

[@isabelfaith]

Hi, I actually have a video on my channel titled "What's best, manual breast pump or electric breast pump?" That video can really help you decide which is best for you :)

[@joaniefuller7901]

...and another great video!!!! do u reccomend any other pumps?!?!

[@isabelfaith]

Thank you! I also enjoy the Medela Harmony Hand Pump! :)

[@mohamadhanif2211]

Which one is better?

Useful info 😊🙏

[@isabelfaith]

Thank you so much!!

[@bankoleadeola1152]

Thanks so much for this. For how long can the breast milk be preserved?

[@isabelfaith]

You are very welcome! It can be left out for up to 4 hours, refrigerated for up to 4 days & left in freezer between 6-12 months! Thank you very much for watching & commenting :)

[@christinaanarsis858]

Thank you soo much !

[@eniyemission474]

I tried using it but my nipples were so sore I stopped. Any remedy please? Thanks

[@isabelfaith]

So sorry to hear this! Avent says they carry different massage cushions but I have never been able to find them! Every woman has different nipple sizes so without being able to find the right flange size this breast pump may not work for everyone. That is a big down side of this pump!

[@reannerelucio3143]

I purchased that pump. Unfortunately for me I didn't like it. It was so uncomfortable and it hurts. I feel like the suction is toooooo strong. I don't know if I'm doing it wrong. 😔

[@isabelfaith]

Hi! Yes. Totally understandable. Nipples are all different shapes & sizes. Were you able to find a pump that works better for you? I have some other hand pump reviews on my channel if you want info on some other ones. This pump is very strong. Good luck XOXO

[@mereiam]

I have the opposite issue

[@sujatha421]

What is the size of massage cushion size ?

[@ajolakswenkhu8226]

I cannot express milk using this I think I'm using it in a wrong way.. Please help me..

[@isabelfaith]

Are you having suction issues?

[@ajolakswenkhu8226]

Yes..

[@yenesew719]

Hi!how to clean?

If you click the link in my bio, it will direct you to this pump through amazon! :) Hope that helps! Thank you for watching & commenting!

[@Jbb435]

I also heard to oil it with coconut oil😅

[@sarahnicole5232]

Can you use other avent bottles with this pump?

[@sarahnicole5232]

Such as the ones that are the glass or plastic natural bottles

[@isabelfaith]

@@sarahnicole5232 Yes, you can attach their plastic natural bottles & their natural glass 8 oz as well!

[@user-tb9ew1hj7f]

Which parts do I sterilize

[@tajwarhussain2698]

Thank you

[@isabelfaith]

You are very welcome! Thank you for watching & commenting

[@saffiradcb9939]

The manual says you shouldn´t pump with the glass bottles

[@stevemann6528]

Probably because of safety reasons, being a glass bottle but all Avent parts are interchangeable apart from the classic range. I used to make them.

[@PHANSIKA]

Hi.. When I measured its comes 5.2cm

[@isabelfaith]

Hi, are you referring to the massage cushion?

[@jayasudhas.m1905]

Can a flat nipple mom can use this hand pump

[@rabiparida5599]

I like your advice you look like so pretty 💓💖 where are you from

[@tinagill7937]

Is it painful?

[@user-tb9ew1hj7f]

I cant use it😢it naa do

[@rissar9866]

I got this pump for $10 aud. Normally $99 aud. Bargain

[@jvgaming5396]

So expensive manual breast pump

Hi Isabel, this is a very informative review! Loved it. I'm working for a brand and would love to collab. Do you have an email address or instagram account we can reach out to? Thanks, Scarlett
