ameda lactaline electric breast pump
one is a medela harmony manual hand pump, and the other one is this ameda electric double pump.
they served me well throughout our breastfeeding journey.
the ameda broke down a few times.
despite that, i still miss it.
this time round, i decided to just invest in the 'ferrari' of all pump! that is the medela freestyle!
pumping at work
to succeed in breastfeeding for working mothers:
pump/clear your breasts every 3 hourly. at most you can drag is 4 hours.
after you clear your breasts, automatically your body will produce more or fill up the boobs.
it is as simple as this.
my pumping schedule at work: 9am, 12pm, 3pm. ideally
but sometimes u can alter it a wee bit.
10am, 1pm, 4pm
i read so much about pumps before i decided to get this.
after getting this 'ferrari', i think it is just 'okay'.
it is not necessary to get this to succeed in breastfeeding.
there are plenty of other pumps out there in the market.
spectra, avent, to name a few.
BUT! an electric pump eases life.
manual single-pump is good for the first month (confinement month).
do your own research and set your budget before purchasing a pump.
i am actually thinking of getting medela PISA because a friend here uses it and she swears by it. she offers to exchange pump with me for a while so that i can try :) how sweet of her.
PISA is a hospital grade pump!
so again, do your own research.
i reckon now that malaysian prefers medela freestyle.
however, my friend in the States recommends PISA.
you can read the reviews in amazon on these two. it's a 50-50 if i am not wrong because i had a VERY hard time deciding on which pump.
this is how this pump works
