i started with manual.. then bth... then hb gong gong got a single one.. then i pump one side.. then the other leak.. then i v heart pain coz my bm just flow out.. bb cannot drink.. n breast pad get it...
lawshe
how long u intend to see ur lil one? weaning off = getting bb off ur breast milk aka BM or expressed BM aka EBM...
if u intend to pump longer and bring the pump to office.. then a good pump is impt.. if u just wanna feed bb for a short while, then get a manual one, then let bb latch on
manual is good if u think that the electronic ones cannot empty ur breast fully..

taslyn, my intention is to go on BM for the 1st 6mths. which i tink during the maternity period should be much of a problem n when i return to work, i will have to be more hardwork with the pumping......
frankly, i stil cant decide which to get. what do u tink of semi electronic type

most mums that i know get the medela PISA... n they can get the job done in 10-15mins...
now medela is out with freestyle which is a more compact one.. pricing is ard 900+ if u buy from SG, from US w/o warranty is ard 500+
never tried semi electronic so cannot comment

lol it is okie lar.. we all learn together
PISA has this letdown feature which the freestyle has too. freestyle is a new product which is smaller size and more compact lor.
both are actually the same in terms of function actually. but i guess freestyle is more discreet n portable..
u can read up on the pumps here:

I havent use a pump before but I will be getting Medela freestyle from USA (45% cheaper than buying in SG!!). Not sure about manual pump but many mommies mentioned that if no one pumps for u (ie: hubby help), then you will be really really tired, especially your wrists.

$400 is OSCAR + FA (if u signed both together) cos OSCAR itself is already $300.
Better sign up FA fast (unless you are ok with any weekday). A month ago when I tried to sign up for March 21 (Sat), already full. haiz... so now have to go there without any appointment and wait long long
A staff from FAU in TMC told me that it can be done on 20 - 22 weeks.

huh? hb pump? hahaha. I think it'll be so funny. hahahah.
I tried manual pump. It's ok. It's tiring if you're that type need half hour to clear the milk. For me i gave up coz it won't clear my ducts properly. End up i hand pump. Even more tiring.
