Another question for all USA mommy
When you breast feed your baby, which breast pump you used? Cos I stay home most of my time so I want a cheaper one like Avent Isis Pump but most people recommend buy Medela breast pump so I am not sure..... ??? Any suggestion?
Hi Leohannahchan,
I knew I was going to use the pump for just a short period of time so I bought Avent Isis. I stopped breast feeding when my kids were about 3 months old. If you plan to breast feed your baby for a long time, you should buy Medela. Your hand will get so sore and tired when you use Avent pump all the time.
I remember they sell "fish bags" in HK for making fish soup and porridge so the bones will not get in. How old is your bb girl now? If she is over 1, then you can give her the fish meat too. My friend feeds her son salmon for lunch w/ rice.
I personally liked the medala pump more. If you plan on pumping a lot, then the electric one is better. If otherwise, then the manual one works great too.
I guess I only pump when I feel my breast get sore and full as I stay home most of my time with baby...But some mommies I knew they just bought both Avent and Medala pumps...

How often you pump? I hear each breast take 20 min to pump by Avent and I don't know how often I need to pump. As I stay home and so if my baby is hungry, I can just give milk to her... So, I pump only becasue "Gok Milk"....so, I really not sure how often breastfeed mom will "Gok Milk"?
小肥佬
You don't need to pump milk at all after 3 months ?? ?-( I thought each breastfeed mommy will "Gok Milk" and so if you don't pump, you will feel pain....so, that's why I need a pump to prevent pain and "Gok Milk" lor
meeemeee
I will plan to breastfeed my baby til she is 1. But I only plan to have 1 baby....if I plan to have 2, then I defintely will buy Medela.....But my husband's company get discount for Medela pump like $180 for brand new pump, so I am thinking if we get the pump, maybe worth it but only use 1 year.....
Plus I am not sure I have enough milk....so... ?-( ?-(
How long you live in USA? Where are you now? I am in San Jose, CA now and expecting my baby due on Jan 25, 05.
To be honest with you, I love playing poker on the internet. I was so crazy about it when I was pregnant. I could play at the mid-night and 8:00 in the morning because I was bored and nothing to do. . At that time, my husband always complaint to me..Now, I have to take care of mini-matt, I can't play too long for each time, but if I could, I still play a couple times a day.. :mrgreen:

I pumped out my milk to relieve engorgement, that's one reason I bought the breast pump. Unfortunately,after my little boy refused to drink the milk with the bottle, I decided to stop it. At the beginning, I had to suffer my breast getting sore. After a while, engorgement doesn't bother me anymore.
I agree with Natmama, if you are pumping very often, electric pumps are better than hand pumps.
leohannahchan,
我買過Medela breast pump (mini electric), 這較便宜, 但它只可以pump一邊, 一定要pump完一邊才可以pump另一邊,不可以兩邊一齊。由於我沒有太多奶, 所以我只pump了几次。一個月後, I gave up breastfeeding, so I didn't use them again. 其實, 我覺得你不用心急買住, 等bb出世後, 先餵餵人奶, 如果覺得自己適合餵人奶, 再買都未遲。
