Vic,
Thanks for the advices...will discuss with DH on the pumps coz I told him I dun wish to invest in expensive one. Most of my friends encourage me to get manual ones since it works well too...
Sure sure, will update u when I pop! I still scared lah, dun want to think so far yet looking forward. Just hope everything smooth smooth. Thats y now then I slowly buy things...
Btw, ur bb is boy or girl?
BBdust,
Ok, will go consider carefully...the pump is my last priority. Hehehe..

vio - importantly your friends use manual pump - did they BF for more than 6 mths? was their supply good?
so far pple i know using manual pumps & succeed & bf long - have but not many. & if they are SAHM then its not counted.
I prefer electric - cos how long u want to pump when we go back to work? we trying to support our bb not get sacked for pumping 40-50 mins slowly 2 times a day mah.
good electric pump can help u achieve the goal of stablising milk flow faster, total breast feed soon (means cutting out formula altogether) & efficient extraction of milk during work.
worth the investment.
to me - unless one is very diligent - a simplier pump - chances of giving up is also higher.
near child birth hormones to loosen joints to aid baby go into birth canal for natural birth will loosen all joints - my wrists were sprained until i had to wear wrist guards- & use manual pump to stimulate will worsen the pain -this loose joint effect will take around 3+ mths after delivery to go off as well .
& then one can say use baby to stimulate lor - i rather u get more sleep & use a more effective pump. newborns can be quite sleepy - feeding can be 60mins - very tiring.
u also have to learn side by side latch- u lie down - baby also lie down -u get rest & baby gets milk - but after a while your back aches sleeping on one side -then u have to get up & change sides or hope baby finishes soon.
BB shy cannot see pte part yet!

1st week of pumping hor some pple can only get 5-20ml each pump - not even enough to feed baby for 1 feed. need to accumulate.
1st week pumping mainly for stimulation.
30 mins every 2hrs roughly to stimulate enough milk flow. manual pump means - one side at a time 60 mins every 2-3 hrs - i prefer to sleep more le u ask me.
manual pumps are good for - SHOPPING cos electric pump very dang to carry around. & manaual pumps also good for clearing blocked Milk DUcts.
both got diff uses la.

so vic ma, you encourage to start pumping after delivery just to stimulate more supply?
http://www.momsinmind.com/mirror/www.momsinmind.com.sg/lactalinepump.html
this is the pump Ameda Lactaline Dual Electric Pump most forum mothers use - its comparable to the medela PIS at a much kinder price.
but i know the pump parts tend to crack at least once during 1 child's BF career -so be prepared to replace some pump parts & have on hand where to get parts from.
can get quite good deal at taka or robinsons discounts sometimes.
reiko
ya initially is just stimulation could be no milk or few drops very patetic one. esp 1st time mothers. which is why we need to encourage each other esp after birth - high risk of depression too.
so forum & msn away!

cause the body still produces colostrum mah and its good for the bb. u stimulate then ur milk supply will come liao.

i was told hosp has pumps to borrow but ask & arrange 1st. my friend went TMC - no pump to borrow -last min call mumsfairy.com that lady very nice -being a mother herself before -she steralised a new pump & brought down for my friend who was frantic & desparate after delivery at TMC.

she is cranky!!!!!!!!
vio ya one thing about desparation after birth.
sometimes some babies will have borderline jaundice - i had this feeling if i can stablise my milk flow SOONER -vicky can get over it faster.
not sure if it works this way - but its sure one reason why its good to start pumping & latch immed.
my niece was hospitalised again for the jaundice (my brother the father as well when he was born had jaundice) its very heart pain for the parents esp the mother just went thru C section or natural birth - then stressed again over the jaundice lor.
is a tip i have to maybe prevent jaundice from worsening or to help BB overcome the jaundice faster too.

vicky had borderline jaundice & had to go back for another checkup lor than the usual number of checkups.
i quickily pump like siao & give as as much BM as possible.
it could be the BM or just happen jaundice subsided - in both ways more BM is better anyway!

vic,
another question.. where did u get ur plastic bags to store EBM ah?
another question.. where did u get ur plastic bags to store EBM ah?
& squeesing nipple really hard (i said before but repeating now)
is important
25 milk ducts -now all dormant & clogged. needs to be unblocked & the very PAINFUL squeesing after delivery helps "open" then for business.
dont over massage - warm towel your breasts 1st mth. esp got milk ducts yet to unBlock - stimulation will cause JAM - which can lead to Mastitis which comes with fever, painful sore breasts - need to see lactation consultation & need medication at times. & alot of pple after having Mastitis Give up breast feeding.
just use your hands horizontally sandwich your breast massage few times, & vertially as well massage opposite direction each hand - ENOUGH. Dont over MASSAGE in 1st mth.
pumping/stimulation/latching- all helps to unblock the milk ducts slowly - SQUEESING is the fastest Kick start - but it wont unblock all the milk ducts either.

i use playtex 8 on ones 140 pcs around $20 at the 1st yrs. from Bps u can get around $10/box. roughly need 1 box per mth after u stablise & can increase your milk flow.
its not zip lock -i just buy SKP rubberbands & a black marker.
got other brands too wth or wo zip lock. I find zip lock too ex for long term use.
ya paisay we kept going on & on.

I need to tell u this.
I've used a manual pump for 1 week before and it kills that I hurried out to buy a dual electric pump (ameda).
It makes a world of difference and not forgetting u need to pump every 3H. That's like 8x a day and each time for electric is 30mins so u can imagine for manual how long it would take since u need to do one side at one time..

BBdust,
Good for u! I have to buy for some close friends so sure broke by end of the month...sobz..
ZZ,
Thanks for your info. Seems like hands up for dual electric pump here. Good to get feedbacks from some mummies coz you all have experienced before. For me, just want to save $$$ if possible.
