hi hoshi, how many bottles have you got? I dowan to buy so many bottles, so using bags instead.. it's cheaper..
am intending to pump as much as possible before i return to work, so tht bb can have about 3 months' worth of BM when i start working again.. dowan to pump in office...
Like what ixwong said, don't boil the milk, just warm it by putting the bottle in hot water.. if u've frozen it, do thaw first by putting it in the fridge compartment the night before.
as for glass bottles, heard that we can ask for some at the hospital... but i quite clumsy, so think will just stick to the safe plastic..
ixwong, that's quite a cheap buy at Aussino! Dun think they having sale now right? may pop by one day to check it out..
Joyful, yah, i'm blessed to be able to take extended leave from office... works both ways lor.. when my other colleagues are away we also do covering for one another... i just feel that 3 months are just long enough for real bonding to start... that's when bb starts to really respond to u... how to let go? hehe... anyway, i have no alternative childcare arrangements till next year, so i have no choice actually...
thing abt storing in bottles is that u prob have to buy many, and u have to buy smaller bottles cos it'll be wasteful if ur bb cannot finish a large bottle. Bags allow u to store in smaller quantities in a more economical way. Alternatively, i've heard of pple storing BM in small containers. When frozen, it'll be like big ice cubes..
i bought the avent manual pump. supposedly one of the better n more affordable ones. kiddy palace is having sale at $59, cheaper than most places.
