Avent Breast Pumps
Sponsored Links
This is the same information as contained on our breast pump comparison
pages, but with the Avent brand grouped all together. The Avent brand had its
beginning in 1984 when a bottle for breast fed babies was designed with a wide
nipple to encourage a wide open mouth when feeding.
In 1997 Avent introduced the Isis Breast Pump, featuring a patented Let down Massage Cushion™ and a silicone diaphragm, to stimulate a natural let-down and mimic a baby's suckling.
Avent Breast Pumps were the first of its kind to allow expression of breast milk directly into the same bottles that can be used to store and feed. They called this “product integration,” and it continued with the introduction of the Magic Cup sippy cup in 2000 and the VIA system in 2004.
VIA are sturdy, but disposable, containers for breast milk that integrate fully with
Avent Isis breast pumps or the Avent bottle nipples.
