Major Purchase #1-Breastpump

As I've mentioned before
I've been planning to (InsyaAllah) exclusively breastfeed my dear baby

Therefore, I sure need a breastpump as I foresee myself as a working mom after confinement
without one, its almost impossible la utk breastfeed kan
mmg boleh, guna kaedah marmet
but sampai bila la kan?

so I decided to get myself a (good) breastpump
after much research and reading reviews here and there,
of course, many recommended Medela FreeStyle
reality check, it's totally out of my budget

so I settled with the next best thing
Medela Swing that is

An electric breastpump which perfectly adapts to the daily routine of a dynamic mother. Ideal for frequent pumping – handy, trendy and quiet. It can be used on a tabletop, belt clip or shoulder/neck strap, so you can always take it with you. For fast, gentle pumping, where it suits you best. Swing is discreet and stylish - it makes breastfeeding fun! It is the only single electric personal use pump with breakthrough 2-Phase Expression Technology for maximum milk flow. First researched and developed for hospital breastpumps, 2-Phase Expression is an advanced pumping pattern that mimics a baby's natural nursing rhythm by pumping in two distinct modes.


Stimulation mode: To simulate your baby's initial rapid sucking to start your milk flowing


Expression mode: To simulate your baby's slower deeper sucks to express your milk gently and efficiently.


More features:


One touch let down button designed for faster milk flow
Convenient, easily fits into a purse or briefcase
Efficient, adjustable speed and vacuum
Comfortable, comes with SoftFit Breastshield
Mobile, use on a tabletop, belt clip or shoulder/neck strap.



Main reason I pilih ni
Is first of, its not bulky
So senang I nk bwk gi office or bile travelling
Second, it can be battery operated or direct current
Tak byk breastpump yg bole pakai bateri
So senang la I nak pump kt mana², even dlm kereta ke pon kan
Plus, the suction tu kite boleh control
Nk kuat ke nk pelan
Tang ni cannot elaborate sgt, sbb belom experience lagi kan
Dh pakai baru tau la ok ke tak kan

Downside yg I boleh nampak skrg ni,
Is that it is single pump
Kalau double pump, sure dpt pump lg cepat kan
Tapi, takpe laaaa
Dgn bajet yg ade, I believe, this is the best that I could get

Once I've decided on which breastpump to buy,
next is to search for the best deal in town

I searched high and low for the best deal
and OneBabyWorld is the right place to get the best deal of (almost) everything pertaining baby stuff
go check em out k?

Oh....btw, I just realised they've increased the price a bit now
luckily i placed my order just before that

I decided to get the back to work package

which includes Medela Swing BreastPump, Cooler Bag, Ice Pack, Milk Storage Bottles, Nursing Bra, Drying Rack and a swaddling blanket
and I add in another Nursing Bra, Washcloth and a  thermometer

I placed the order and paid them via Maybank2u on Saturday,

and my dad received them on Tuesday
not much hassle
pretty smooth

oh yeah
I received a voucher from OBW worth RM10
am thinking of purchasing more stuff from them later on
