Dr. Brown's 1200 Manual Breast Pump

I bought this pump in desperate hope, because the Avent pump I was using had unpredictable suction and would bruise my breast, so I stopped pumping and could never leave my baby because I had no milk to give the sitter. The Dr. Brown manual pump was gentle on my nipples and I could express way more than with the Avent one. Plus I don't really have to pay attention. I can watch TV or talk on the phone. I can even do it in near darkness (relaxation helps letdown). I did increase my supply and now I have enough milk to send my baby to grandma's house for three days! One of the features like no other is the nipple compression. It stimulates the letdown similarly to baby's mouth. You can control it with the suction valve. lighter suction means not much nipple compression- harder suction means lots of compression and that can shape the nipple some, but it goes away in a minute. I prefer somewhere in between. I give it an A+!

I wouldn't even give this pump one star. It was very difficult to attach, very uncomfortable, and took forever to get just a little bit of milk out. Please don't waste your money!

I'm surprised to see all of the negative reviews. I bought this pump twice for both pregnancies and this pump worked well for me. I am pregnant again and looking for it but cant find in the stores. I am shocked to see how expensive it is on this site. I'm sorry to see that this product was such a disappointment to most of you, I guess you have to find what works best for you, this pump worked for me. Amazon bring the price down please.
