Venus n Sunshinekid
Same here, I am considering to buy tat Avent handheld electrical b.pump also. I bought Avent manual pump, pump until hand so tired, same took me, 40 min for both sides. My friend passed me her Medela handheld pump, very noisy, especially at nite. Also it is painful cos without the petal (like Avent). With tat Medela pump, I can pump both sides in 20 min (ok, it is a reduction of time, n my suan of hands)
Then I became home alone, I wan to quick quick pump n rest, I rented Avent Dual pump for 30 days, is good... at least I can handfree when pump n watch TV/ BB/ this forum (haha, multi-tasking). But to buy, is a No NO, cos it is bulky to bring to office.
N further I dunno how long I wan to BF. Cos my office not so convenience to pump n store BM (hmm, mus go complaint to HR n Breastfeeding society, a co. tat dun encourage BF! Haha!)
My rental above, cost me $225 oredi (for 30 days), include a starter kits (for hygenic purpose). To buy the rented set will cost me $525 (instead of usual $799
But compare prices $750 ($525+$225) Vs $279, is consider cheap loh. Further, I dun wan to buy a white elephant at home (dual electric pump), will be wasted loh. At least this handheld one, I can bring to opi to pump, save my hand from suan (Vs my manual pump)
The only disadvantage is I need to find power point to use this handheld. As I intend to pump at toilet, where got power point then??
