Hi,
I bought a lot of Boots Milkbags and 2 packs of First YearEasy Pour Milk Storage Bag which I think I will let go some as my MS real low and most probably might not be able to use all.
Boots BreastMilk Storage Bags
40pcs of pre-sterilised double ziplock bags.
Selling at cost $8.( 4 bags with me now..)
First Year Easy Pour Milk Storage bags
25pcs of pre-sterilised ziplock bags with easy pour sprout.
Retail price at $19.90
Selling at $15. ( think I got some discount when I bought these 2 packs)
I have another pigeon insulator bag with cooler panels for breatmilk storage on the go to let go as well.....so sad...no use for it.
Retail price think is $59 plus. Will sell at $45.
All are brand new and unopened. If interested, let em know and I will pass them during the gathering.
Very sad...bought all these thinking I will be successful in breastfeeding but well....... :< Think a few weeks time will have to sell my medela mini electric breastpump which I rarely used as well :<

Hi Ann, if its ok, may i buy the Boots MB from u? thanks in advance

dun be sad... we're in the same shoe...
i spent so much also thinking that i will be successful in bfing, but now also supply so low until i am wondering everyday whether i will not have even a drop the next day
i bought blue egg milk bags, medela freestyle, neurogain fish oil, fenugreek, etc. etc.
but now i am still hanging on and holding on to the blue egg milk bags, praying that miracle will happen...

alfafa,
Hmmm. for the fenugreek, how many pills do you normally take? I heard some take 4 or 6 pills. What's the usual amt?

My MS also getting low, that's why selling off nipple cream and milkbag.
Now I also give some FM when supply not enough. Hmm...
RE: Leaking BM
I'm one whose MS is low but have leak milk problem. So, I will try to feed (latch) my baby first or pump out BM before go for a shower. And when latch on or pump milk, I will use breast milk collection shell to collect leaked milk from the other breast instead of wasting BM as well as create another soaked breast pad (which also waste pad money). The collected milk is also good enough to form a collection of small volume to feed baby. And sometime I feed my baby from the shell directly.

RE: FTWM vs SAHM
I am a bad mommy.. without much consideration, i prefer working to staying at home... Maybe it is cos my work allows me to go home at quite a fixed regular timing everyday.. heh.. but I love the financial independence, wanna go spa, facial, travel.. (wouldnt be able to buy my OTO Powertap just now either!). Think the only reason why i am not so upset now is cos i am still paid during my ML.

For Fenugreek, you can take up to 6 per day. I started with taking 6 but ss has stabilised so now oni taking 2-4 per day!
For Oats, I take the Instant quaker Oats (red packaging) with Milo. About 3 cups a day. I think that has helped in my ss too.... =P

hi mmbean...
w regard 2 e appraisal...guess no such tink as fairness as we look @ e same matter w diff viewpts...itz true we mia for 4 mths...we cant get a 'good' grade...
for instance if u a cher, u hav to readapt really quickly once back to work...n tat may not guarantee a good pb...*performance bonus...
thus when u hav a child, get prepared for such subtle discrimination...@ least e boss openly declares their appraisal process...well, look on those who 'work hard' by being their physically available on work but w no sig contribution...itz pathetic, but itz life...guess it all boils down to our work ethics...competitive n ks...
i remind myself tat e bb far outweighs e PB...h'r for those moms who need e extra cash...itz definitely a hard matter to stomach...

Thanks so much for the info! Trying hard to increase ss as my girl is very demasnding. She will keep crying while latching when there's not enough milk for her. Very "heart pain"..

Hi Kome,
I would like to continue BF as much as possible till baby at least 6mth old. My colleage who is a vegetarian managed to BF for 1yr said that have to eat lots of fish and carbo for MS. I think need enough rest to have MS as I usually get engorged breasts after wake up from Zzz... but then no time to take nap leh...
