Astro: Wha! I think you zou2 huo3 ru4 mo2 liao. If your first-time mum, I can understand. But you're a 2nd time mum!
Yah, PISA can also use as single pump.
Re medela milk bags, if you're pumping for consumption on same day, then don't use the milk bags, use bottles.
Descaling: Must descale both the steriliser and the warmer. Use lemon. But don't wait til you smell the burnt smell, cos this means all the water have evaporated, which I think will spoil the motor. Switch the lemon juice, pour in a small amount of water and switch onthe power for abt 3mins.. Then can liao.. If you see lots of brown floating UFOs, then re-peat this step. Have you gotten a warmer? It's very useful.
Re sterilising:
The problem is not when you're home. There are many methods. Which method you use is really your preference. But when you return to work. Haha.. Then it becomes more tricky.
Re sterilising at work:
When you return to work, your bb would have been at least 4mth old.. By then, he shd have some levels of resistance/anti-bodies build-up.
I kept my funnels + shields in a tupperware container. At home they are sterilised and placed into the container. At work, I will use boiling water to gently cleanse them before pumping. After the pump, I pour boiling water into the container with the funnels + shields inside. Lock the container and with it a few shake. Repeat this process. This is how I sterilise. I will bring along enough storage bottles. I keep the expressed BM in the fridge and bring them home when hubby comes to pick me. If the journey from your workplace and home is quite far, then you need to use a freeze bag.
What else did you write? Actually lots of things you can ask the mummies here lah.
Wha so long a post. I better start another post.
