Philips Avent have unveiled their latest electric breast pump. It’s quiet and can be used anytime, anywhere. The best part is that there is no need to lean forward when you do it: the pump contains a soft massage cushion that stimulates milk flow when you’re sat upright and comfortable. What’s more, it comes with a natural bottle and teat that allows baby to latch on and feed more naturally. We also recommend the Avent 3-in-1 electric steam steriliser – ideal for sterilising breast pumps, bottles and any other equipment.
