Ameda is double pump. I think you wait until next Rbinson's sale to buy better.
Claire wearing size L. Actually I think she can still wear size M, but that time when I started buying L she was growing at such a frightening rate I thought I better stock up on L size le.. who knows she like stagnate like that, hhahahahahhahaha. So after that just stick to L le lor.

i've been using Avent Duo since the time kienan was born, and it's really really good. i like it a lot cause it's more gentle on the nipples compared to the Medela PIS. But the Medala PIS isn't that noisy... not like the Medela Electric.
so if you are considering a good electric breast pump, i would recommend Avent Duo, or Medela PIS!
if you don't mind 2nd-hand pumps, the price is sometimes quite good. i bought my Avent Duo 2nd-hand.. and paid only $290 for it, which is a great price! given that it was only used for about 5 months before that mummy sold it..

Mild,
The fridge to go bag cannot last that long. You got space in your office to put a mini fridge? can consider.
For pumps I recommend investing in dual pumps, dun bother with single, because dual is more effective and gets more milk out. If not it'll be you milk one side and the other side leak, wasted...

mildy...
yeps! the Medela PIS is the one with the stimulator.. i've tried it before when i was at TMC's ParentCraft Centre to pump out milk when i had engorgement...
when you buy it, it's quite portable in the sense that it comes in a backpack.. not too bad. haha. but of course, if you use it outside, you need to make sure that you have an electric powerpoint so that you can plug it in.
you really need to store the milk in a fridge leh. expressed BM can stay in room-temperature for a max of 4 hours only... having a fridge is best. if not, then guess that a fridge-to-go (already chilled and really cold) is the next best alternative i guess..
go all the way for expressing milk for claudia!

Mild,
Some pumps work with batteries. I know Ameda's does but dunnoe is it problem with my set or what, I tried before but couldn't work.
Actually I think it is best to find a meeting room or storeroom to pump, if you can. Pump in toilet not very comfortable and clean?? Can you try to find a room somewhere to do it in?
I pump in a storeroom in my office coz I lazy to walk down to nursing room, hahahaha.
When I'm on course or at seminar I usually ask the course coordinator or person i/c where I can pump in peace.

was looking through WTS thread and came across this mummy selling her Medela PIS @ $380.
you can check it out if you are keen
:
http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/messages/449183/1642965.html?1219039083
agree with sherl leh.. not too good to pump in the toilet. find a storeroom or some meeting room that you can pump in?
tell ur boss that the govt. is encouraging women to have children, so he should be more pro-breastfeeding!
not troublesome to lug double-pump bag to work lah. all for claudia.. it's worth it!

mildy, medela PIS is very durable. i bought it during 1st one and I never service it and still can use very long for her.
If there's no power, I will use rechargable batteries, same effect.

Hi,
Since the day I start bf till now, I would put the avent shield cover on 1 breast first while collecting milk from the other, this way, your precious will not be wasted. After each expressing, u can pour the collected milk into the milk bottle.I remembered I bought at $29+.

also there is those mini fridge that can store abt 6 cans of soft drinks.. my mum helped me buy 1 but ended up letting my colleague used it cos my BM stop b4 3mths...
u can buy those shawl to cover yourself when u pump, got sound but think most r ladies so should be able to understand.

u can ask those provision shop cos they got sell drinks specially coke or pers, they should ve them for FOC from the distributors... then they will sell them at a $$ to earn (my mum got mine for $25 or $30, can't remember liao)..
similar to the below link:
http://shop.ebay.com/items/_W0QQ_fromZR46QQ_sopZ12?_nkw=mini+fridge&_fromfsb=0&_trksid=m270.l1313
there is a car adaptor as well, so u can carry them ard if u go pinic or something.
u can keep warm or cool.

Janey,
Wah really salute your friend's colleague. Even though my cubicle is a private cubicle (the 3 3/4 high walls type) but I would still feel very self conscious, dun dare to pump in the "open" like that. The most I dare to do is wash my pump parts in the pantry sink after use... even then sometimes my male colleagues happen to see me washing the pump parts they also siam... I think they very paiseh... hahahhahahhahaha. Even the unmarried ladies hor, sometimes also give me an embarassed smile. Luckily I got storeroom to do my pumping work in.
