Sucking milk out is a useful invention that solves many problems faced by young nursing mothers.
Sucking milk out is indispensable when the kid for some reason does not take the breast. In the case where the child is not taking the breast, usage of milk suckers is practically the only way to support breastfeeding.

If mother, has too much milk, during incomplete squeezing she may have problem with swelling and pains in breasts. In such cases some women use milk suckers to remove excess milk. Mostly breast-feeding is difficult due to cracking nipples. In this case milk suckers provide gentle squeezing without breaking the child from breast milk.
Working women can not do without milk suckers who wish to preserve lactation. By the way, in such cases, there are accessories that will make the process of squeezing more comfortable. For example, Philips AVENT produces a special set, which, in addition to milk suckers include bottles, cooling packs and containers for storage of milk.
So, if you’re one of those mothers who are concerned about these inconveniences, milk sucker will help to solve your problem. It is necessary to ask: what kind of milk sucker should you choose?

The cheapest variant is milk suckers with hand pump, or the so-called “pear”. However, pump milk suckers contain no tanks, so you constantly must transfuse squeezed milk in the bottle which, of course, is unhygienic. In addition, the performance of such devices is very low: slightly better than the manual squeezing.

But the hand model is much more perfect. They are based on stimulation of the breast, which together with massage leads to a natural lactation. The most widely known and accepted milk suckers are Philips

AVENT ISIS. The secret of their success is in the design. This soft silicone cushion with five leaves delicately massages area around the nipple; painlessly stimulating the milk ejection reflex. Philips AVENT ISIS took into account almost everything: it is easy to disassemble, clean and sterilize, and it works silently and is very easy to use. But the main thing is that it decants the milk quickly and completely, without residue, so that Philips AVENT ISIS helps to cope with problems such as “overfilled” breast and cracks on the nipple.

Philips AVENT also suggests similar milk suckers ISIS with the system storage of breast milk VIA. Its key element is sterilely packaged containers. Container joins to milk sucker, and decant the milk directly into it. You can also feed the baby directly from the container, attaching the nipple to it. In addition, the containers are ideal for storing breast milk in the refrigerator or freezer within three months.

However, many women still prefer the electronic models, considering them more “productive”, than the hand ones. Here it’s worth telling you about a new generation of electronic milk suckers from Philips AVENT – ISIS iQ, combining in itself all the advantages of ISIS with microprocessor control. As with the existing electrical milk suckers, ISIS iQ works from the network or from the batteries, but the similarity with its predecessors ends. The main and unique AVENT ISIS iQ is a technology that “remembers” the individual rhythm of squeezing. The required pace can give the woman, because she knows how her child sucks the breast.

Effectiveness of milk suckers Philips AVENT is regularly confirmed by independent clinical studies. Thus, the leading British pediatricians and specialists in child nutrition compared manual milk suckers Philips AVENT ISIS with electrical milk suckers used in maternity hospitals. In this study, 145 women filled in a questionnaire after every use of milk sucker. As a result, it was found that mothers, who use manual Philips AVENT ISIS, decanted the same amount of milk as the women who used the electric milk suckers. The feedback on the Philips AVENT was much better.

In order to select milk sucker, it is important to determine for yourself how often you are going to use it. If you plan to use it every day, then it is logical to buy an electronic milk sucker, because then you do not have to strain your hands. If, however, there is no need to use it regularly, you can choose another variant. You can use a manual piston milk sucker.
