forest, im thinking of getting electric one as well. The prob is if i dun bring my baby home when my hubby is on night shift, then i will express at home. Other than that, i will express at my mum's plc! Dun tell me i hv to buy 2 sets meh?!? Otherwise i hv to carry the pump everyday to work so that aft work can go my mum hse n express??
Littlebluey, i'm also stuck to the tv every night till 11pm 
wat shows u watching? i alternate btw cable TV and channel U.
There is no way i can express at work. So far none of my colleagues did that leh..wats more now got 4 preg ladies in my dept. Cant imagine if all of us go one by one to express milk! haha..

Ameda is ONLY half the price of Medela PIS! that's why I bought Ameda instead
Medela PIS is the most exp pump so far... but those using it, are all singing praises!!!! Must be very good!
Ameda costs abt S$350 if i remembered correctly.</font>

Hi Mummies,
The thread moves so fast ler! This morning weight gain topic, now is bf topic liao. Sorry if I missed replying any message for me cos I no time to scroll back.
When I got time then I read back the thread again.
Breastfeeding, ya it is really not easy to bf for long. I'm those type who have very little milk. I took 6 weeks to establish supply and in the end I did managed to bf my gal for 1 year. I fully using EBM cos my impatient gal don't latch.
I dont hv any nursing rooms in office also. My office here all opened concepts. I got to go to training rooms at HR office to express. It is subjected to their availability. Very difficult for me (sometimes got to see people's face colour), but I just tahan for the sake of my gal lor.
So mummies who wish to bf, just perserve. Am sure you can make it!
Ya, I agreed with Ms Piggy. Don't get manual pump. Very tiring. I gave up after 2 days and got myself the Medela PIS pump. It is my best investment I could say. Now can still use for my #2.
Praying hard that this time I won't have such a tough time getting my supply liao.

Medela PIS, ya it is very expensive. I bought close to $700 I think. But it is a really good pump. Very comfortable and easy to use. I strongly believed that without it, I can't bf for 1 yr with my supply. Those mummies who are determined to bf and esp those intend to have another kid can consider lar
Ameda pump is also getting a lot of good feedback. And ya, the price is 1/2 of Medela PIS.

<font face="tahoma"> everafter,
my frd did it in those handicapped toilet coz no one using it's very clean. maybe you can start to check out any other places, like meeting rooms etc.
after i started working, i pumped every 6 hourly. hence pumped before going to work, then once during lunchtime then rushed home to pump again. </font>

Head the Ameda one is gd, it's is cheaper and Medela PIS which cost ard $700+ whereas the former cost ard $350 (last seen at the Robinson members sales
Maybe have a "Q" system so that everyone can take turn to express milk?</font>

JJMom, really no way for me to express during lunch time leh...all the meeting rooms hv glass window panels also! mm....will check how is my fellow colleagues dealing with it.

everafter,
If really you could only express morning and nite, is quite diff to maintain the supply..In about 1 or 2 mth the supply will be gone. Unless you dun mind pump in toilet and discard the milk during office hour, then maybe can last longer. If work in town, can consider shopping center's baby room.
To maintain the supply, need to pump 2x during office hr at least.
Someone ask about how to defreeze the frozen milk..(sorry thread too long confusing..hehe)
Bring the frozen milk to fridge compartment(the chiller, not freezer) the night before or the day before. ie If you wanna use the frozen milk in morning, u bring down the frozen milk the nite be4, for evening, and vice versa.
