hello... wah.. the thread so long liao!! so busy with work that no time to drop some lines..
on breastpump, i got 'expensive' experience. for my #1, i start with medela manual, then upgrade to mini electric (single pump). found out that using single pump is not efficient coz once pump one side, the other side will leak, so i invested in medela freestyle.. i would say that was one of the best investments! i fully breastfeed my gal for one whole year without milk powder. even she got admitted to hospital due to jaundice for the first month, i still pump out in order to maintain the supply. my gal didnt like to latch so all the while i was pumping. freestyle was my good friend, portable and easy to bring along. i brought it to office everyday. it's really convenient!! my advice to new mummies, hav to b hardworking in pumping.. i pump every 2-3 hrs even at night in order to maintains supply. once the supply is in, it will go according to baby's needs. so as baby grows, it will increase as well. that is how i manage to fully breastfeed till my gal was one year old... then i deliberately stopped coz too tiring.. cannot tahan liao..
