MAM Breastfeeding Starter Set

I really like my MAM starter kit. As a first time mum who exclusively breast feeds I wanted to have the option of expressing and saving / storing milk. I wasn't sure that I wanted to invest in an electric pump straight away and so this offered a good start. The manual pump is easy to use and can express as much milk as an electric pump easily I'm sure. I managed 120mls my first attempt at about 3 weeks post partum.I must confess I did not use the bottles at first as the Como Tomo bottles were recommended to me to reduce nipple confusion but overall I found this starter kit good value for money and easy to use especially with the self sterilising system.

Really good starter set for anyone who wants to express. The handpump is a really good pump to start with before moving onto an electric pump, or if you just want to occasionally pump. I love the bottles and storage pots. I wouldn't use any other bottles. Baby takes them perfectly and goes between those and the breast easily. I love that the storage pots screw inside the pot and that there's a space to write the date and time expressed on the outside. Make sure you use pencil though, I accidentally used pen and even though washed them, and been through dishwasher can still faintly see it. I would prefer the measurements to be easier to see as when there's milk in them it can be quite tricky to see how much. I think this is due to measurement being etched into the pot. I have thought about using a marker pen to make it easier to see. The pots also attach onto the hand pump of use bottle neck which is really useful. Overall great set.

This is a great value set if you get a pump which works. My baby is one month old and my pump has stopped working. It has been replaced twice so I've had 3 in total in that time. I've given up on it now. The handle stops clicking in to the lid properly and no suction is created. I have only ever washed and sterilised the parts as per manufacturer instruction.When the pump was working it was slightly uncomfortable but no more than other pumps that I've used. The pump is difficult to use one handed as the bottles are quite wide. It's also quite noisy.The MAM bottles are excellent and my baby took to having expressed milk in them very easily. I love the self sterilising function of them. I cannot recommend the bottles highly enough but the pump needs some work. I've since given up and bought a different pump.

I’ve given it 4 stars because it works. Granted, I now use this solely for the bottles. I really can’t be bothered with this pump. This is the only manual pump I’ve tried and it isn’t a slight against the company - I just don’t have the patience or the wrist strength to spend half my life getting a few drops of milk, I’d much rather miss the opportunity for a night out than spend my day trying to milk myself.The bottles are fantastic, and the pump definitely works, so if you’re after a good manual pump at a decent price, really look no further. This is a great starter set. I just don’t use the main element of it.

I already had the mam dual pump and bought this as an extra as I needed more bottles and when I bought it the price was great. It was far cheaper than buying the bottles on their own without the pump. The pump is quite easy to use although as I have the electric one I usually use that instead of the manual bit. The bottles are the only ones my daughter took too and I think they’re great. It’s a bit of a faff to clean all the parts but you get used to it.

My first born was on another branded bottles which led to her having colic. Put her straight on mam bottles and she was brilliant. I have just had my second baby and bought these straight away as I know how good they are. However I don't know if they have changed but the pots in this set are leaking which has led to my breastmilk leaking everywhere so I lost 4oz which isn't a great deal but it is to me. Also the bottles keep leaking and it seems as though the base is not screwing on very well. This has also lead to some leaking and also taking the bottle from the jug of hot water has almost dropped out onto my newborn.

I have always been a tommee tippee fan both manual breast pump and the bottles but when we swapped to Mam bottles to help with my sons wind I wanted to use the breast pump too so I could pump straight into the bottles.The bottles and storage pots in this kit are great but the pump is terrible!! Firstly the funnel (flange?) is tiny and hard plastic which I wasn’t a fan of but the biggest problem is the loss of suction after a week of use. It basically rendered it useless!! I went straight back to my tommee tippee manual pump.

Great product, used through all my children. Easy to was and self sterilise. The teat is ideal for babies moving from bottle to breast or duel feeding.Respect your amazon workers. They are not robots!!
