Philips Avent SCF334/12 Comfort Double Electric Breast Pump

I received this pump from weeSpring Parent Panel to review. I did like the design and everything that came with it, I was very excited to receive it and try it out; until I tried it. The pumping process was very painful and didn't seem to effectively empty my breasts, I tried re-adjusting numerous time to no avail...I also found it a little more on the complicated side to disassemble to be cleaned...It is a very attractive pump, I like the design but it caused too much discomfort for me. It may work out for other women so I would recommend it to a fellow mom because I know everyone is different but unfortunately it just didn't work out for me.

I received this pump and accessories kit as part of a product testing panel. The pros of the unit were the power, settings, and quiet operation of the pump. The cons were the number of parts and the material of the shields. The silicon is very clingy with every spec of dust, hair or lint. It was very difficult to keep things clean. It is also really hard to use with a hands-free pumping bra because the silicon does not interact with material well. The shields would pull away and lose seal with the smallest movements. After several weeks of pumping 2-3x per day I went back to my other brand because I was too frustrated with the maintenance.

This breast pump had too many parts to put together quickly, didn't have brea9st shields that fit me, and didn't work seamlessly with my hands-free pumping bra. It was difficult to figure out how all the pieces fit together. When I did get it all washed, sterilized, and put together, it was incredibly uncomfortable, bordering on painful, and after a few minutes I didn't have more than a few drops. In its favor, I love that you can pump directly into Phillips bottles (which are my son's favorite!), and the carrying case and other accessories it came with were great. I was given this product to try as part of the weeSpring parent panel.

I received this product to review from the weeSprint Parent Panel. Pros include that the unit was small, portable, and quiet. The big con is that it barely pulled 5mL in 20 minutes, even with the massagers. I had gotten to be a “pumping pro” if you will, as my daughter had nursing issues and I started out pumping 8-12 times a day with a spectra s2. I had issues with low supply in the beginning, but more recently I get 4-5 oz a session. So 5mL is pretty small. It was not difficult to set up or adjust, but I just didn't feel like I could turn up the vacuum up high enough. I liked being able to use the bottle directly after pumping, but my baby is not picky about bottles.

I received this pump from weeSpring Parent Panel to review and give my honest opinion. This pump is compact, discrete, and quiet. It came with a carrier bag, 4oz bottles, nipples, lids, and bags. The pump works well, but requires a good fit or it will not suck at all. It has three suction settings and a stimulation setting. The cushioned pump was very comfortable, but I wish the flanges were easier to see through so I could see if the milk was flowing. I used this pump for about 6 months as I breastfed my second child. I only pumped when I would be gone, and as a stay at home mom, that wasn't much. This pump certainly met my needs.
