Breast Pumps

[Mel's Belle]

Hi All,

I have a Nuk electric breast pump and seem to very unlucky... The first one didn't have suction, the second one broke and the third one doesn't have as good a suction as the second. Now I'm waiting for the fourth to see how that goes. Has anyone else had similar problems with the Nuk electric breast pump???
:confused:

I've heard of people having problems with them - one person had gone through 3 and was looking for an alternative.

I'm very happy with my Avent Isis pump.

(It's been a while since I had dealings with the ole breast pump - or "milking machine" as my dairy-farm-raised hubby called them :rolleyes: )

Is the nuk one the red one, with the button you push and then release? It's battery operated? If I'm thinking of the right one, then yeah I had one of those, and I found it worked quite well and I had no problems with it (like I say though, this was over 4 years ago, so perhaps they have changed since then). Also, my DH found the nuk one to be quite amusing so that kinda made me relax while I was pumping :p

The best one I used though, was the Medela one from the hospital, particularly the double-one so it took half as long to get twice as much IYKWIM.

Hi,
I've got the Medela Mini Electric breast pump and can highly recommend it - it is easy to use and I have had no problems at all with it. Good luck with your 4th Nuk one but if that doesn't work look at the Medela one -it is great.

I've got the AVENT Isis manual breast pump!! It was the best $10 (2nd hand at baby bazaar) I ever spent!! Easy to assemble, easy to use, definately recommend it !!
