Gerber Manual Breast Pump Kit

I LOVE THIS PUMP!
I'M A FIRST TIME MOM AND WANTED A PUMP SO I COULD HAVE A SAFETY STASH OF MILK STORED AWAY IN TH FREEZER AND SO MY HUSBAND COULD HAVE THE ENJOYMENT OF FEEDING OUR BOY AS WELL.

I CHOSE THE GERBER PUMP AFTER SEEING IT SITED AS ONE OF THE BEST MANUAL PUMP IN A BABY MAGAZINE A THE OB'S OFFICE AND COMPARED IT WITH OTHER PUMPS IN THE STORES. I FELT THAT THE CONSTRUCTION AND QUALITY OF THE MATERIALS USED WERE MUCH BETTER THAN THE OTHER ONES OF COMPARABLE PRICE.

I USE IT ABOUT 4 TO 6 TIME A DAY IMMEDIATELY AFTER NURSING MY SON FOR ABOUT 10 TO 15 MIN EACH SIDE AND WILL FILL THE BOTTLE IN ABOUT 2 SESSIONS.

IT IS EASY TO ASSEMBLE, EAST TO USE ONCE YOU LEARN HOW TO ESTABLISH SUCTION, FEELS GREAT, AND IS REALLY EASY TO CLEAN(IF YOU TAKE IT APART AND CLEAN IT, AS DIRECTED, YOU WILL NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH CURDLED MILK OR ANYTHING).

I would give it a big fat ZERO but they won't let you go that low. I pumped for almost an hour and got less than a ounce of milk. I have the Medela Harmony, which uses a vacuum type motion to express milk (I am usually done pumping in 15 minutes and get 5 ounces) and thought the massaging would work better and this looked very comfortable. I was wrong. I called the 1800 number and they gave me all these things to do to see if it would work better, it didn't. I called back two days later and I am getting a refund. As a mom of a seven month if I had hours of free time I wouldn't spend it pumping milk. PLEASE SAVE YOUR TIME AND MONEY!!!!

Why do stores continue to sell such terrible pumps such as this and Evenflo? Anyone who does any research knows pumps such as these have numerous complaints logged- even with the FDA because they cause nipple damage and can interfere with a mom making enough milk for her baby. &amp;#60;br /&amp;#62;<br /> At least Target also sells a couple of good manual pumps such as the Medela Harmony and the Avent Isis but I wish stores would pay attention to the FDA complaints and not just look at the Nelson marking index when they make their decisions.
