how do you make it work?
one reason, breast pumps are expensive. i'm not talking about the manual one or the battery operated one.
the best one so far that i've tried, is of course medela freestyle, for sure. Medela in style quite bulky manakala swing is ok but suction lebih kurang mcm spectra. but the cost for the freestyke pump only is almost 2k. but the result by far better than the others. both battery and power operated, better suction (susu kluar mcm waterfalls), ringan dan la bole bawak ke mana saje.
i only settle with the one i can afford spectra 3. reason being, i'm staying close at home from work. at one time, i thought i can go back home during lunch time and do my pumping. but, sbb malas nak naik tangga everytime, i just bring the whole set to the office.
i won't have problem keeping the milk since i can tumpang at not 1, but 4 deep freezers available at work. advantages of working at food company. ehehe
my problem is however, the area that i want to do my pumping.
surau do not have any power outlet.
pantry ramai org lalu lalang pulak.
my office, well i'm sharing office with my manager and a colleague, and both of them are men.
what i can do is to do my pumping during lunch hour. i've change my lunch time a bit later than the others so that i can rest longer. 1/2 hour pumping milk, and another hour, having lunch as usual. that's settle.
this really go well for the first 2 days.
after that?! my manager change his lunch time. earlier in fact.
so during the main lunch hour time, he will sleep at his place.
berpeluh la aku nak mengepam. i did it anyway since:
1. he will be sleeping soundly. siap dengkur tu
2. he's an old man reaching nearly 60 years of age (bile la nak pencen ni). so, kurang rasa malu la since he himself have 5 children and many cucus
3. i have my pc monitor as my cover from his view
4. i'm the only one in the company have never been scolded by him. seriously! (dia sangat garang!) err.. xtau la ade kaitan ke x
wish my milk production goes well at least for another 4 months.
(i never targeted till 2 years since i don't want to be pasrah if i couldn't make it that long).
ok nina.. mummy's coming home!

owhh.. medela freestyle tu mahal kan.. aku plan nak beli swing je.. tu je mampu.. nice la ko ada 4 freezers.. senang simpan.. kalu ltk room temperature(aircond) xleh ke?
swing aku rase mcm spectra3 jugak, tp ringan la.
tp die single pumping aje la. spectra3 bole buat double pumping.
ikut la budget ko mcm mane kan.
aircond room temperature rasenye susu boleh tahan about 6 hours je kot. letak dlm fridge la kalau ade.
