Ini adalah hasil tenusu saya..bukan bertujuan untuk menunjuk-nunjuk..certain moms in know trying very hard to get enough for their baby..There are certain things that I did might/might not work out with you. But I think it is very hard to just explain it here.. If you want any advice please feel free to drop by on how do increase my supply..
I received many queries regarding which breastpump is better...here is my opinion:-
- Avent Manual
My first breastpump. Love it . However, I find it very time consuming and tiring since 1 have to pump it manually. I am a working mother hence time is very precious.
- Avent IQ ISIS Duo
Bought this after 3 months using manual. Use it not even 1 month the motor is out. Reason being the susu kene dekat motor. Luckily under warrantly. Hence, change the new one. However, even though I take extra precaution, still bile dismantle the pump, ade susu masuk jugak..So the motor out again. Kali ini it is not under warranty but luckily my brother in law bole betulkan..To make the thing worst, the vacuum pon terkoyak...since avent did not sell replacement part (or I did not know the existence of the replacement part) I decided to use Medela Freestyle. By the way, pumping time I almost 45 minutes.
-Medela Freestyle
Super love it. Pumping time jadi 15 minutes jer. Sometime biarkan sampai ke titisan akhir..Nak dismantle very easy and you can find the replacement part everywhere. Beside the service centre dekat jalan ampang jer..
As a conclusion I have spent RM2,300 inclusive Medela Freestyle. If I can turn back time I would just purchase Medela Freestyle in the first place and save RM1+++.
wow! so jealous seeing bundles of bm there, how u manage to do that...any tips? advised?
ReplyDelete-i'm using manual bp, but between avent and medela, i've found out medela suction slower than avent, how bout medela fs?
-its not convenience for me to pump at my workstation, so will end up b***engorgement b4 pick up my baby @in-law, and i only manage to pump after work/at home(night) ,except on weekends. since im using manual its very tiring and time consuming and only manage to get max 5oz. frm ur experience/opinion will my bm supply reduce as im can't frequently stimulate it as im suppose to.
Actually no special tips cume from the first day i dah start pumping even though 1/2 oz jer dpt...
ReplyDelete-compare between Avent manual and Medela pump, I agreed on that before I tried Medela FS. Medela FS suction is the best. It has 9 level of suction and currently I'm level 6.
-Yes. your production will reduce since you cannot expressed it frequently. My advise is before you pegi keje u pump..during lunch hour you pump..dekat rumah in law you pump and before tido u pump lagi. Manual mmg time consuming. that's why i beli electric and even better gune FS i pump max 15 minutes jer..
- When you pump you need to squeeze your b**b mcm you perah limau nipis..this is why i love FS sbb when you bole squeeze it since both of your hands are free. kalu other double pump you kene hold both pumps..byk kan minum air milo, fresh milk and plain water..worst case scenario makan jantung pisang..it really works but jgn frequent sgt..
thanks azima for the tips, really helpful. ;)
