Any breastpump to recommend
- Thread starter mothertobe
- Start date
i have also placed (last weekend) order for Ameda Purely Yours Breast Pump with Carry All from QuickMedical - which i find is the best offer US168.11 so far compare to other offering at US199.95 (+ free ground shipment), just that I have to include the ground shipment free US 7.66, total US175.77 to ship to vpost in US still cheaper for those with free ground shipment. Im using vpost to ship it to Singapore.
For mommies who ordered the pump from USA, you will need to buy an adapter/tranformer here for the local voltage.
There are 2 ways in which you can do it. If you go to those DIY hardware shop, you can get a transformer for about $16. But for this, you will need to piggyback the original USA adapter onto this transformer, so it's pretty bulky and heavy.
Otherwise, you can go Sim Lim to purchase an adapter ($38) that fits directly with the pump, so you don't need to use the USA adapter at all. I find this method much better since it is much lighter.

It is my understanding that the Ameda Purely Yours in the US is the same pump as the Ameda Lactaline sold here. Same pump different name.
From the MIM website
"This Ameda Lactaline breastpump is similar to the Purely Yours sold in the USA market, just that our Lactaline Pump is built for our local voltage."

I read that the Medela PIS is good. I saw from First Years at Paragon that the normal PIS version is selling at $420 if I didn't remember wrongly.

You can use other brand's bottle with Avent provided that it's wide mouth like Avent's bottles. Do try them out before purchasing as manufacturer's designs may change.
As for the petal massager, I've only tried with Ameda funnel. It can fit but not very well and can fall out.
Actually, you can head down to BMSG to try the Demo Pumps before purchasing.
