Ooops.. my Avent pump also makes a knocking sound though, but this one only happens when I pump with maximum suction, such that the pump piston hits my breast milk container.
Pros No 3: Avent manual breast pump is cheap and very affordable
Yes, this is one more reason why I am very happy with my Avent manual breast pump. It's worth your money and it won't burn a hole in your pocket. Not convinced that Avent Isis manual breast pump is worth your penny? Check out the price!
More over, Avent Isis manual breast pump comes with the soft-petal cushion which makes your pumping experience more convenient. Avent claims that this cushion helps initiating let down (when the milk starts flowing) since it resembles baby suckling pattern. Ok, I am not going to support this claim, but based on my experience, I could initiate my let down simply by putting this cushion on my breast pump. Of course, when I knew there are a lot more faster ways to initiate let down, I quickly switch to another method to get let down faster.
Avent manual breast pump is light and portable. I love the fact that I can dump it into my Pigeon fridge-to-go cooler bag together with my Avent VIA breast milk storage system, without the need to use a separate bag. How would you do that for an electric breast pump? Of course you can't because they come with more parts, battery, power cord, etc etc.
