Kriteria dan Panduan Memilih "Breast Pump" Terbaik dan Sesuai untuk Anda

What criteria are you looking for when you're about to purchase breast pump? As for me, those are the things that I consider as most important, arranged according to the degree of importance:
1. Double. This feature is important as it's time saving. 30 min for both sides of breast or 1 hour for the same job?
2. Electric. Yes I can't imagine myself pumping by pressing the manual handle of the breastpump. Must take a whole lot of work.
3. Hands free. My main purpose of buying breastpump is to use it at my workplace when the baby's not with me. Therefore I need something that's efficient and doesn't stop me from doing work.
4. Silent. I'll mostly use it in my lab/ office and also in meetings. I don't want to be the centre of attraction while pumping.
5. Economic. Yeah the pricing is important. I think every breastfeeding mother would dream to have Medela, especially the Freestyle, but not everyone can afford it.
6. Size of motor. Yes you don't want your motor to be too bulky because it inhibits your movement.

Based on the criteria above, after some researching and reviews from fellow bloggers, I shortlisted my choices to Lacte Duet and Autumnz Serene.

Before buying, I did tried few double breast pumps at PumpOnTheGo Kelana Jaya. Oh they do have few outlets in KL/ Selangor as well. You can browse through their website first before physically go there. Only there I know that Lacte Duet motor is quite bulky. And the suction is too soft, I did not feel anything. And then I tried Autumnz Serene and immediately fall in love with it. The suction is just nice, not that painful. It also has 3 different modes with different levels and light LED display. The motor is also cute. So without any hesitation, I bought the Autumnz Serene during my 38-week pregnancy. Ladies, it's really important to try using the breastpump first before investing your money because not all pumps are suitable for everyone.

And then...
During my confinement period when I want to try pumping, I totally forgot about point number 3 as above. Only then I bought Freemie, also at PumpOnTheGo, but this time it was online purchase. This decision was also after asking around my sister and my cousin who has been using Freemie previously.

My very handy bp thank you :)

So far I'm loving my breastfeeding journey with Serene and Freemie.

Toodles,

Pengalaman Bersalin di Putra Medical Centre, Bukit Rahman Putra

Mula-mula memang no idea on where to give birth . Bila kandungan dah 5 bulan macam tu, baru survey few medical centres . Masa tu baru nak risau kot-kot baby keluar awal ke huhu.. I BW dulu pastu baru physically pergi melawat medical centres yang berkenan di hati. Medical centres tu mestilah memenuhi ciri-ciri di bawah: 1. Paling penting dekat dengan rumah . Malas sangat nak pergi jauh-jauh. Kot ada emergency ke, susah pulak. My workplace dengan rumah dalam setengah jam. So cari la dekat area Sungai Buloh, since I stay at Damansara Damai and my workplace kat Sungai Buloh. Lagipun senang husband kena ulang-alik ambil barang..tertinggal apa-apa ke. 2. Not too costly . Ni penting jugak. Takkanlah bersalin je nak habis belas-belas puluh-puluh ribu. Nanti lepas bersalin lagi nak guna duit lagi banyak, jadi kita simpan je la kat baby's future ye.. 3. Ada facilities yang okay. Penting ada operation theatre (OT), in case of emergency. Masa survey tu, ada tiga je yang I ras

Power Pumping

I think this is the moment where my milk supply has reduced. After researching and readings, I discovered about power pumping . Power pumping is good to stimulate back your milk production. But you need to be patient in doing it. Doing it once won't give you fast results. Consistency is the key. Following is a diagram on how to do power pumping to boost your milk supply. If you have enough milk for your baby, you don't need to do this or else you'll be oversupply. Oversupply sounds good because you can ensure that you have enough milk for your LO, but in reality it is BAD! You are at a higher risk to develop mastitis! Please be mindful of your pumping :) Wish you goodluck in breastfeeding :) Toodles,

Of Writing (Or Typing?)

I'm not really a fan of writing. I used to have a blog years ago during my college years, well honestly... just to follow the trend of people having blogs. When I read back the posts, I sounded so childish and immature. It's funny to see when your biggest problem in the world is when you have three final exams scheduled on the same day or you just broke up with your boyfriend. Many things happened since then; I graduated from the Pennsylvania State University (how I miss you my alma mater!), back to Malaysia and got my first job (and still is now). My interest to write has lost. But now the spirit has come again. Hope this won't be hangat-hangat tahi ayam again. I find it crucial to write nowadays. There's tonnes of information on the Internet that can be used as a reference, and I wish to be someone that people use as a reference too :) Every time I have to make a purchasing decision or learn on new things like how often do I have to nurse my baby, or how
