I’m selling off my Medela Pump-In-Style Traveller Breast Pump for RM500 (including 4 other breastfeeding gears).

I bought this when Zara was about 8months, around September 2005. I used it not as frequent as I should especially after I’d started working from home.

Here is what RM500 includes :
1) Medela Pump In Style Traveller breast pumps (inc double electric pump, backpack, pumping accessory kit, manual pump, cooling element, cooler carrier, ac adapter, battery pack, 4 breast milk bottles) ~ RRP RM1,600

2) Medela Harmony manual pump (acts as a back up when you don’t have electricity, exclude : a) misplaced bottle stand but you are getting 2 from the electric pump anyway, b) SoftFit breast shield) ~ RRP RM300

3) 1 pack of Medela washable nursing pads which contained 4 pieces of pads (unused still in sealed plastic but I tossed the box away already) ~ RRP39

4) 74 pieces of Lansinoh milk storage bags (unused, only available from the US) ~ RRP RM50

5) 1 barely used My Breast Friend nursing pillow (bought when I had Zaria, and, you can see how I used it here) ~ RRP RM189

One of the reason why I could continue for so long is due to the facilities we have in our company (some credits have to be given to my understanding male bosses too). Some pro-breast feeding mums have persuaded the company and 2 rooms have been allocated for nursing mums, with a fridge too to store our supplies, long before Zara was born.

I have used these rooms for 14months now (1st 3 months at home enjoying my maternity leave). This is where I met Two Little Fellas, and some other nursing mothers; separated by a thin wall, we exchanged breastfeeding and parenting tips

On months when we have lots of new mummies who’d just returned from maternity leave, the rooms are occupied most of the times (sometimes a queue is formed). After a while, a new ‘user’ settles into a pattern, and chooses a time she prefers, or to meet up with a particular mum so that she has someone to chat to while ‘doing her business’.

I’m currently the mum with the oldest kid still using the room (too bad there’s no trophies for this one). One by one I see mummies dropping off, and they asked me when it will be my turn to stop (oh, Daddy asked me the same question too). I don’t know, maybe when Zara is 18 months or 2yrs old? Or when I get pregnant again? Or I have so little supply it’s not worth expressing anymore?? Which ever comes first.

From 3 times a day in the beginning, I now settle with once a day starting of this year. At 4pm, with a good pump, a good book, 30minutes later, I emerge with 1 of Zara’s feed for the following day.
