First Years Natural Comfort Double Breast Pump Review

This pump initially worked well (although it was much more painful than my new Medela), but one side of the handle always had trouble “catching”. I used it for four months with my first child in 2006, and just tried to use it again with my second. The rubber valve fell out of the problem side and won’t work. When I called customer service, they told me that the warranty was expired, so I was out of luck. They would not even let me purchase a replacement part. The customer rep then HUNG UP ON ME. When I e-mailed to complain about my treatment by customer service, they ignored the email.

It was almost impossible for me to begin using this pump because it is so awkward. The collection cups attach to a bar/handle that you have to hold with one hand out in front of you. Then you have to use your other hand to adjust the manual suction release. Between holding both bottles with one hand (which gets heavy) and having to keep my thumb in place for the suction release pumping was just too tiresome with the First Years Natural Comfort Double. In my opinion this pump is too awkward to use successfully but it gets the job done!

It worked for me and I used this pump often. Some of the downsides are that it is really bulky and loud. If it is not on strait it pinches and will leave bruses (but the same goes with the baby). I would say that I would be able to get about four oz. ever half hour or so and I would only use it on one side at a time because I found it too uncomfortable to pump both brest at the same time.

Bought this pump because my first purchase (Evenflo Comfort Select) died on me after only a month of use. The suction drastically declined within a couple uses and eventually the motor died. This pump is SO MUCH better. The suction control dial is so strong I can only turn it a 1/3 of the way around! It’s easy to position, easy to clean/sterilize and has minimal parts. Good buy for the price!

I have had this pump for the last 4 yrs. I am now using it for my 3rd. child. The storage containers are nice and the adjustable setting makes it comfortable. Great buy!!
