The MAM 2in1 Single Pump provides mum with a flexible solution for expressing their milk.

Covering all bases, you can use it for both electric or manual pumping - the electric pump has two modes: Stimulation, simulating the natural suckling behaviour until the milk has dropped and Expression, which pumps the milk into the bottle. Both modes come with nine different strengths which can be quickly and easily changed via the +/- buttons on the main unit, this lets you find the most comfortable and productive setting. You can switch between the two modes via on button - it will automatically be in Stimulation mode when turned on and the mode is clearly displayed on the screen alongside the battery level, strength setting and timer.

The display is large and clear green digits on black which aren’t too bright if using in low light or the dark. The unit can be used when plugged into the wall but will also hold up to five hours charge depending on the settings, freeing you up to express anywhere in the house, in the car (as a passenger only please) at work or out and about. The screen is quite sensitive which can be both a blessing and a curse: it allows you to easily change the settings but also means it can be accidently adjusted. Thankfully there is a manual on/off switch on the back to prevent it being switched on whilst in transit.

The pump is reasonably quiet, but I would love to have the option of muting the buttons as it beeps with every press. If you choose to manually pump you just need to swap the top of the pump unit. The manual pump takes longer but can still get the same results as the electric pump - with a bit of effort - and it is comfortable to use. It can also be stood up when empty, ensuring the inlay stays sterile whilst you set up. The inlay is a soft, one-size-fits-all funnel which comes with a cover to hygienically protect against dirt; it can be used without the inlay.

Like most breast pumps the MAM 2in1 comes with loads of components that will need to be kept together and regularly cleaned. It’s easy enough to keep them in the box but a carry case or more durable box would be appreciated. It also needs two hands to set up, which you probably won’t have available most of the time, but with a bit of practise you will get used to all the bits. The pack includes: breast pump 2in1, electric top including funnel cover, rechargeable motor unit, breast pump 2in1 adapter, breast pump 2in1 manual top/pump handle, two Easy Start bottles with sealing disc (1x 130ml/4.5 oz x 160ml/5.5 oz) and two storage solutions.

The MAM 2in1 Breast Pump is a wonderfully versatile breast pump that covers all options and it is portable & easy to use with both electric and manual options available. RRP £130.00
