Philips Avent Via Manual Breast Pump 50% Off @ Tesco

The Philips Avent Via Manual Breast Pump is £15.10 at Tesco, 50% off the £30.21 it normally is. This price is valid until the 2nd of August 2011.

I’ve never used the Avent breastpump from Philips, so I can’t speak for it personally, and I’m more of an electric pump fan anyway, but according to the reviewers on Amazon, it’s a very effective pump. While one works better for one person than another, it’s great to see reviews such as “This Avent manual pump is brilliant, it's easy to use, silent and discreet and easy to dismantle and clean. Best of all is how well it works - I was amazed at how quickly I could express a bottle-full of milk! I totally recommend this pump.”

Avent claim that this pump has patented soft massage cushions that trigger natural let down and another Amazon reviewer confirms “This pump is very good at getting a let down reflex. The vacuum that builds up is then very efficient at expressing milk.”

Included in the box you’ll find the pump, VIA storage containers for safe storage and transport, leak proof twist on lid, and an adapter for expressing and feeding.

Philips AVENT Microwave Steriliser £11.50 @ Amazon

Philips AVENT Microwave Steriliser £11.50 @ Amazon

The Philips AVENT Microwave Sterilisers at Boots sold out so quickly yesterday, but here they are at Amazon at almost the same price: £11.50 instead of £20 – a nice 43% saving.

The AVENT bottle steriliser from Amazon includes delivery for the price. It is compact and light, which makes it really convenient for travel. It also is meant to fit into most microwaves, so you should be able to use it wherever you go.

Capacity wise, the AVENT Microwave Steriliser contains six AVENT bottles – not sure how many of other brands though, so it might be worth asking around if you have other bottles.

According to Amazon, the contents will remain sterile for up to 24 hours if the steriliser is left unopened.

In the box you'll find a microwave steriliser, a measuring jug, tongs and one feeding bottle.

There are 25 reviewers for this on the Amazon site, and they've given it 4.7 overall.

Baby Bonanza @ Amazon

The Baby Store at Amazon has a Baby Bonanza sale until the 6th of February. It's been on for a few days already, but that doesn't matter, since the deals change daily.

The way the Baby Bonanza works is that there are new deals and discounts on selected products every day for one day only. The daily offers are available from 9am to 23:59pm.

The sale categories include Nursery and Feeding Essentials, Baby Monitors, Health and Wellbeing for Baby, and so on.

Some of today's deals are:

Up to 42% Off Cosatto Cots with the Tove Cot (Nut) only £90.24 (which is 47% off), and the Bola Cot (Cream) at £110.

Up to 50% Off Philips AVENT Sterilisers with the Philips AVENT SCF271/51 BPA-Free Microwave Steriliser half price at £10. The AngelSounds Fetal Heart Detector is £18.38, which is a 54% saving – although I'm not sure that these things don't just make pregnant mums neurotic. I had a similar one and never managed to hear my daughter's heartbeat. It stressed me out terribly!

There's also a selection of toys and accessories for babies, such as the Tomy Discovery Forget Me Not Photo Album, 43% off at £11.48.

Remember, these offers are only valid till midnight, when there's a whole new range of things available, so do check back tomorrow to see if there's anything you need.
