Okay I think I'll blog today.
I bought a new pump last Friday! I've been using the Medela Mini-Electric since I got back to work, and of late I realised the other breast leaks when there's a letdown on one breast. Wasted precious milk! So double pump it is!
After days of deliberation, I've settled for the tried-and-tested Ameda Lactaline instead of the relatively new Ardo Calypso because I am not a risk taker. I found good reviews for both but I decided to go with the one with a longer track record. So I searched for online shops and retailers selling the pump, contacted departmental stores to ask if they're going to have a baby fair soon, and finally bought one from Baby Kingdom at Kaki Bukit. I actually wanted to go to the main distributor at Tagore Lane, but they didn't pick up my call when I wanted to come so I went to Baby Kingdom instead. For $399, I got the pump with free milk bags (I can't remember how many) and a nursing pillow which we now use it as Junior's portable armchair.
Here's the little boss using the nursing pillow. Fits perfectly! He's all dressed up for the hectic wedding/outing Saturday last weekend. His favourite activity now is to sit upright but he's still finding it hard to balance his body. I admire your ambition, boy.
Anyway back to the pump!! The first try was disappointing. But it could be because I wasn't used to the suction and speed settings yet, and I tried it after feeding Junior hence, not much to pump anyway. Brought it to work on Monday, and I love it! Efficient and effective! Totally love it! And it's waayyyyy quieter than Mini Electric! Not regretting my decision to get this pump! :)
Last week was very tiring. Early mornings and a very tiring weekend. I was looking forward to a stay-at-home lazy day. Hope to get one this weekend cos the following weekend will be a busy one again :(
And to end off! A cute cartoon on breastfeeding :)
