It is great you are helping the community to grow by your thoughts and idea?s. Your post popped up in the search engines during my search on the lastest info on behaviour problems in children. I was intrigued, so I had a look …, and although it was not really what I was searching for, I am glad I read it! Just thought I would stop and say thanks. Have a good day.–>

Thanks for the tip.. Should have gotten that earlier.
I’m now pumping once, so I didn’t need to sterilise it again after used.

The Diva,
Next one.. you can do it longer. 😛

Irene,
Heehee.. You mean yours is more compact? The machine is small actually, it’s just the bag it’s in which is big. 😛

Fannie,
Hey, at least your boss said you can use his personal fridge.. not bad! The problem with doing it in the toilet is you can’t use electrical pump.

Domestic Rat,
I think it’s more difficult, but not impossible.
But I have regular cycle, so it means I’m ovulating and hence should be able to get pregnant..

My boss says if I get preggy again and needs to pump, he can only lend me his personal fridge for storage…as for pumping…I need to source for a location myself…most likely the toilet 🙁

The sight of your machine made me SNORT out loud at work. Then I had to pretend to cough. My co-workers are probably wondering what kind of work I’m doing that is soooo funny.

since ziplog bag is so much smaller than a tupperware, you can store it on top of the carrier bag (i’m using the same pump). i got the tips from someone in kellymoms.

The Device is my best friend.. 😛
I’d dropped you a mail, so send me the audio file please.

Shoppingmum,
Our company doesn’t have a branch in Ipoh.. you want to come down to KL to work? I can tell if you there’s vacancy. 😛
I heard you can actually breastfeed throughout, but normally not for high risk pregnancy. I think I’ll quit if I’m pregnant.. Now, it’s to get pregnant. 😛

e*ember,
It really shrinks your ‘asset’? Gosh, not that I have much, but smaller will mean nothing else is left. 🙁
Hey, WHO recommended one to BF till the child is 2yrs old. Not that I’m going to do it. I’ll just take things slowly.
I really like the convenient of it, especially when we go out. Don’t have to lug so many things with me.

Blogie-Talkie,
I work for an American company.. but still, it was through lots of persuasion before those 2 small rooms were allocated to us.
And thanks for the trophy.

Jean,
Not sure if she’s proud, but she does prefer the breast to the bottle.

J,
I think slowly I’ll be like you. Stop expressing then slowly wean off. Zara is easier in the sense that she accepted the bottle, but I think you guys still having problem with LLS taking the bottle huh?

Ah Pek,
If don’t express, get engorged, lagi pity.. Very painful one you know.

Sesame,
If you’d lasted 3 months, I think it’s already quite an achievement. B’cos I know people sometime cannot even last 3 days (baby constant crying, mummy heart ache, give in to formula, close shop).
And thanks for the trophy. 🙂

Mumsgather,
Yeah. It’s not easy breastfeeding in our society, but I think things are getting better with more educated women choose to breastfeed (lots of people always think only ‘kampung folks’ breastfeed).
It’s always a good feeling to know you are giving the best to the baby. That’s a reward in itself 🙂

Jesslyn,
I bought a manual one also in the beginning, but then when I know I was going to do it longer, I upgraded it loh.

Mama Bok,
Not too late, can do it for the 2nd one. 🙂

Siao Char Bor,
Thank you!

Eve,
It can be discouraging if the company doesn’t have such facilities.. but you still breast fed a while, giving Karen a good head start.

KY,
Yeah, the pumping sound can really get people teasing you.. But I don’t care! 🙂
You did it in the toilet and you continue? I salute you!

Mom2Ashley,
That’s why I have 2 knap sacks and 1 cooler bag to carry.. And that’s why I’m getting ‘bendy’. 🙁

Allyfeel,
Wow, so stressful for you. I used to feel very ‘stress’ out with the sound from the outside, but now I really don’t care. I’m doing something good for my baby, shouldn’t feel intimidated..

1+2mom,
You have twins, I guess that makes it more difficult? I always find those mothers who do tendum feeding amazing. You did for 2 months, I think it’s quite good already.
Must go and dig your blog to see got tendum feeding photo or not. 😛

Jasmine,
You should come and visit this part of the office ler..
The pump comes with a cooler bag with ice pack inside. You are supposed to carry those funnels in the cooler bag too, but because I’m worried they may get contaminated, I use another container to hold it.
For me, I store my milk in the fridge then when I go home, transport it in the cooler bag. I heard, if there’s no fridge, the cooler bag can actually keep the milk up to 8hrs.

Blurblur,
Wow, 6mths is a good achievement too! By right hor, those expert said supply shouldn’t dwindle if you continue feeding, but why it happens to us leh?

Samm,
Yeah loh. That’s what my husband said..

Helen,
The other baby won’t touch his baby’s milk one.. he said it’s her food, cannot touch. Even the ‘supplier’ also he won’t touch. *sigh*

Baby smooches,
Not high tech la.. just a better pump. Yeah loh.. heart ache hor to wean off? Not just baby heart ache, mummy also.

Two Little Fellas,
So the trophy should go to you!!! Because of you, we now can pump in private.
I can’t imagine us having to share the room, each siting at one corner of the couch pumping away.. Haha.. man, really think we can do like them, communal pumping.

Since REWs sit at my flr, i bug him almost on a daily basis to get the nursing room up and running asap back then.

i still remember when he 1st took me to have a look at the room (not rooms), he intend to put some tables and comfortable chairs in the room and my 1st reaction- “pls don’t expect mummies to pump conveniently staring at each other, we need more than one room” and that’s when it hit hm that we need smaller but very private room.ha,ha- man-ma, this type of things never occur to him.

I am also pumping once a day and am wondering how long I can last. To wean off very heart-sick lah… Eryn is now 10 months old
