The discreetly quiet and portable Isis Back to Work Breast Pump Set is a gentle, safe, and discreet way to express and store breast milk for later feedings. This set weighs less than a pound and includes an Isis handheld breast pump, an insulated shoulder bag (about the size of a lunch box); two 4-ounce and two 9-ounce Avent bottles with newborn nipples and silicone sealing lids; disposable breast pads; and two freezer packs.

The Isis breast pump is a one-handed manual pump (no batteries or electrical hookups are required) with a silicone diaphragm and soft cushion “petals” that work together to mimic breastfeeding. The soft “petals” in the cushion send a message to the breast to stimulate a natural let-down reflex, and the silicone diaphragm creates a vacuum to help express more milk quickly and quietly. Many moms claim that this manual pump can express the same volume of milk in the same amount of time as the larger electric pumps. Dishwasher safe. –Deb Oroszlan

Editorial Review

Designed for comfortable, discreet, and efficient pumping wherever busy mothers go, the ISIS iQ Duo Twin Electronic Breast Pump features an electronic memory that learns and then automates your own personal pumping rhythm to achieve natural breastfeeding results. The iQ Duo stimulates let-down by means of a massage cushion that flexes while pumping, mimicking the suckling action of baby. During milk expression, a one-button variable control adjusts speed and suction to replicate baby’s deeper, more comfortable sucking rhythm, as the electronic memory learns and continues your unique pumping rhythm.

The ISIS iQ Duo arrives in a stylish, insulated tote bag designed for easy organization. Lower the front panel, and the motor can remain inside the bag for even quieter and more discreet pumping. The set allows single or timesaving simultaneous pumping, and also includes a manual pump for those times when an outlet isn’t readily available. Express directly into the reusable AVENT storage containers (in two four-ounce and two nine-ounce sizes), then simply replace the sealing discs with the included AVENT nipples and you’re ready to feed baby. Other features include two travel covers to keep AVENT nipples sterile when on-the-go, two Thinsulate carriers to keep your breast milk cool, eight flexible, freezable gel packs, two drawstring bags to conceal containers in the refrigerator, disposable breast pads to protect clothing, and a Quick Start DVD to guide new users. As part of the AVENT Natural Feeding System, the set can be used with any AVENT bottle or cup. –Heather Lyndon

Editorial Review

Because of its specially designed silicone nipple that mimics the shape of a mother’s breast, this 9-ounce feeding bottle from Avent is the bottle of choice for many nursing mothers who may have to supplement with formula occasionally. This popular bottle has some nice features and some distinct advantages over some of the less expensive bottles. Holding a little more than 9 ounces when it is full, the Avent bottle has an unusually wide mouth and a large nipple–making it easy to fill the bottle with expressed breast milk or formula, and easy to clean both the bottle and the nipple itself. Although the bottle is equipped with an antivacuum skirt valve that is designed to reduce the amount of air your baby swallows while feeding–and thus the amount of gas they experience–the bottle will not completely eliminate this common problem. Made of a durable polycarbonate plastic that is both dishwasher and microwave safe, the bottle can be attached to a manual Avent Isis breast pump to express breast milk directly. The bottle comes with a self-sealing cap to prevent spills. –Chris Burns

Philips Avent 9oz Bottle w/ Slow Flow Nipple. When baby sucks on the nipple, the skirt collapses inward, allowing small amounts of air into the bottle, replacing the milk at a rate the baby controls with its own suckling rhythm. Because this exchange of air into the bottle occurs throughout the feeding session, baby will get a continuous flow of milk.
