mummies, is it silly to have 2 pumps - one heavy duty one at home for maternity leave time and after, and a smaller handheld/manual one to bring to work when we go back to work?
 
I also lookin for a electric breast pump... any receommendation? i seriously considerin the medela dual one but v ex rgt? n i scare i still same supply as b4...

i have one avent manual... it works fine but v tiring la... for my second one, I wan to do more pumpin so better invest in electric? any comments?
 
garfield

my price comparisons. a bit limited but hope it helps
happy.gif
i'm thinking of getting 2 - 1 heavyduty for home during 3 months, 1 cheap one to bring when go out/travel. but wondering when i go back to work - maybe i should leave the heavy duty one at work? dunno leh.

sterilisers
really necessary? not too long ago didn't mummies use to just throw everything in a pot and boil? or is that bad?

ikea sale
buying my cot and changing table this evening! and whatever other baby item that is on sale :D then this week force hubby to fix up
 
pinkbunny,
its not silly to have breast pump. Actually I encourage frens to buy those avent manual pump first cos frankly speaking we wont know how long we will BF and the supply that we have. After you have Bf for like 1mth and you know you are going for long then invest in those dual electric pump if u need to pump at work
happy.gif
 
garfield,
I used the medela dual pump for my no. 1. So far i tink gd enuff cos each time pump bout 20-30mins depending on how much u pump out
happy.gif
Serve me for 13 mths!! Cos I bought it only after my confinement...hehe
 
pinkbunny,
I never used the medela manual before so cant compare. But I used the avent manual before, suction power gd enuff
happy.gif
 
Re : sterliliser
I bought the Avent steriliser for my No.1. Some mommies say use pot and boil but for me cos after confinement I have to take care of my ger myself so I decided to use steriliser more convenient and safer cos no boiling water *lol*
 
garfield
i m using medela PIS and i think it is very good

pinkbunny
it is ok to have more than one pump. like what celeste blur say u can try out the avent manual one first. for me it din work so in the end i bought the medela one.

re sterliser
i also bought the avent sterliser. so far still in good working conidtion.

pinkbunny,

wow u good make a comparison... actually i rather blur w medela products n that is why until now never buy... is there sale on Dual one? I wan to save time cos it always a waste when pump one n the other leak...

celeste_blur, thxs for yr info... me rather keen to see n buy... how much u buy?

SY, PIS is dual is it?

pinkunny, i think u can dun buy changin table... save $... hahaha cos u can change on the bed too... i never buy for mine. my nephew got his but he also never use cos it quite troublesome... too high too... now become white elephant.

sterilisers - i didn't buy. during confinement, i use my nephew one. then back at home, my frens share n bought me one avent one. rather useful. actually some things u can wait n see got ple buy as a 1mth old shower gift.
 
Gals,

i can't join gatherin... had been bz these days. also tryin to send my son to some classes to enrich him. prob nxt outin bah.
 
<font color="0000ff">sterilizer</font>

i feel it is safer to use a steriliser. I know some maids actually over-boiled and melted the milk bottle in the pot ! that means the whole pot of stuff is polluted !!

and I feel a very waste of water by boiling and u have to watch the fire.

use steriliser takes u only a few minutes
happy.gif
 
steriliser
labbit... melt the milk bottle?! goodness!!! ya i guess it is safer to get a steriliser. mummies, any recommendations? i heard pigeon also good

breastpump
how much would we leak actually?

changing table
the one we want can be converted into a shelving unit so can use when she's older so quite wu hua i think! plus i have a bad back so sitting and twisting on the bed is not good for me.

garfield
no la, just that whenever i am in a baby section then i just go and research a bit lor
happy.gif
 
Delphine
I'm here... I'm here... Been really busy with work, didn't have time to follow up with the maids search.. Those agents that I've contacted also didn't bother to email me the biodatas. Can PM me your agent contact? I'm getting desperate now.

Re Detailed scan
Did mine some days ago. Thank God everything is fine. And, I have a Minnie!! Hurray, I'm joining the pink gang...
happy.gif


Chloegal
Don't worry too much, maybe your baby is too shy. Awaits your good news on your rescan.

Re Sterilizer
Fast and convenient. I'm using Philips Avent sterliser, can fits bottles from any brands. It's also a milk bottle warmer and baby food steamer.. 3 in 1 but can't remember how much i bought it.

Re Gathering

I wanna to join too!! But dinner and weekends are out for me because I need to be home on time to entertain my boy.

garfield,
i bought my medela dual pump for bout $250 or so I think. But that sometime in July 2006. Now I think prices increase to bout $300 or $300+ liowz. That time i bought still got free medela bottles and breastpad! *lol*

Re : Breastpad
It depends...if you are the type that dont pump frequently. Like last time i tend to drag until full can pump bout 400ml each round then will tend to leak. Otherwise should not really leak
happy.gif
 
garfield
yeah Medela PIS is dual pump.

sonic
congrats on your minnie!

pinkbunny

Rain,
