any feedback regarding disney baby electric pump?
Ang mahal kasi talaga ng pump yun lang afford namin for now..

^ Haven't heard of Disney baby brand of breast pump.

If you cannot afford a pump, try hand expression.  Our office manager got by on hand expression alone back when breast pumps were not as accessible as they are now.  Check you tube for videos.

Or ask friends and relatives who are giving you a baby shower to just pool their funds (instead of giving individual gifts) and use that to buy a good breast pump.

^ sis depende sa need mo yan e. ako i have a playtex manual pump, medela manual pump and just recently bought an evenflo electric pump. yung playtex, mga 2 months ko sya ginamit. at first ok naman sya kaso lumuwag yung silicone rim nung pump mismo so naging maganit sya pag nagpump kaya i switched to medela. yung medela manual ko, ok din naman hanggang ngaun pero kasi back to work na ako and matagal pag manual pump. kaya i bought na an electric para medyo mabilis ang pag-express. so ngaun pag sa office,nk electric ako then pag sa bahay lang, manual ang gamit ko kung mageexpress kasi direct feeding ako pag nasa bahay.

[Cocoyow]

^^hi sis anong pump yung sinasabi mo sa babymama?

[iristacey]

^[textspeak!] unimom and spectra. yung unimom allegro na old model ang meron ako. okay sya as in.

Nakabalik nako sa work last Friday. I was able to pump 4 oz per session for 2 sessions while nasa office ako. Di naman din kasi ako pwede magdisappear sa work every 2 hours. Sa bahay naman, sad to say but mixed feeding na si baby. Direct feeding kasi ako pag sa bahay and di na enough milk para pag-express pa so usually 2 bottles with 3-4oz each lang naiiwan ko pag umaalis ako which is not enough for baby. Sana naman di mawala agad milk supply ko because of this

think of a breast pump as an investment. if you do the math, di hamak na mas mura ang breastpump kaysa sa magagastos mo sa formula for 3-6mos alone. better to invest on medela or avent as these 2 are the reputable brands when it comes to breastpumps and you don't have to worry about warranties and spare parts as well

Sid rexyloise, just continue what you're doing sis! In time you will be able to store enough Dbm for your baby. Ako direct feed but I'm tying to express milk na Kasi wala akong milk stash kaya I can't go out for too long not even a hair cut. Last night I was able to pump 1 oz at least the last time I did a month ago, 2 tablespoons [textspeak!] nakuha Ko. My baby has forgotten how to feed in a bottle. happy problem Ko yan. I hope this December makaipon ako. May tindahan Kasi kami I can't pump from 9:00am-9:00pm. Kaya Direct feeding is the easiest for me.

Mga sis, back to work na ko by October. The problem is, fieldwork ako (medical representative). Should I opt for manual na lang kasi chances are, sa loob ng car ako magpapump? 3 weeks to go pa pero nalulungkot na ko to leave my baby. Meron ako iyong ginamit ko sa first baby ko, pero that was 9 years ago pa, Chicco manual pump. Ang hirap gamitin. [textspeak!] meron pang pinipisil na rubber para makapagsuction. Ang sakit sa kamay eh, and hindi siya efficient.

Suggestion na rin on which brand/model you think will suit me. P.S. Tight budget ako.. TIA!

[betsyness]

^sis maude i tik om din ang electric for you kasi may batteries option naman yon usually. Anyhow, babalik na din ako sa work by october. I'm trying to build my supplu now, pumping and freezing my ebm. I feel so hood na almost two months na kaming exclusive breastfeeding. Since 30mins away lang ang office sa bahay namin, i'm really determined na ituloy-tuloy to. i'll start supplements na din soon, like natalac to increase my supply. Mejo mababa pa kasi output ko or feeling ko mababa pa. I just pumped now and happy to get 4oz. if my budget will allow i hope i can get a new electric pump too. I'm using medela na manual and it serves it's purpose naman, mejo nakakangawit lang magpump. May electric pump ako dati, pero parang ang hina na ngayon o baka sa batteries lang. Will check it out ulit before i buy a new one pala.

hello mga sis! I am using double pump Unimom Forte breast pump. It costs P5,900 sa Babymama. So far, ok naman sya. Satisfied naman ako. It is my first electric pump. We decided to purchase this model kasi not too expensive pero okay naman ang performance. I have read good reviews naman kasi sa Unimom breastpumps kaya we decided na Unimom na lang ang bilhin.

Almost 7 weeks na kong exclusive breastfeeding kay baby. BM sya since birth. Two weeks ago lang ako nagstart magtrain to feed her in a bottle. Eto may nipple confusion sya. For the past weeks hirap na hirap ako sa bottle. Finally, yesterday I was able to purchase a Chicco feeding bottle, kakatuwa, parang no nipple confusion na sya kasi dinede nya agad. Later, I will try it again sana successful pa din. Ang hirap kasi pag hindi marunong sa bottle, I wont be able to do some errands and work. Yesterday, I was able to go to salon na.

[cherryblossone]

^ good for you sis! dual electric pump ba yung unimom?

mga sis, how can i increase my pump output?  6 weeks na si baby and have been ebf and direct feeding ever since. nag try ako mag pump before nung mag 4 weeks pa lang si baby kasi super engorged breast ko. ok pa nakuha kong milk noon but stopped pumping kasi di ko pa naman i bottlefeed si baby. nung nag 5 months na si baby, i started pumping again. this time para introduce na si baby sa bottles. kaso sobrang konti ng na pump ko. yung una kong pump wala pa half ounce. paano kaya ako makakaipon ng milk ni baby? i'm using avent manual breast pump.

[Cocoyow]

Na curious ako sa unimom Allegro, cheapest sya sa babymama na electric pump and puro good reviews.. May naka try na sa mga sis dito?

nipple confusion is when the baby refuses the breast and prefers the bottle.

[bangusnakulot]

^ hi sis grayce! Yun ba ang definition ng nipple confusion? sorry di ko alam.
Yesterday, we tried to bottle feed her again using the Chicco, ayaw na naman. 

[iristacey]

sis Cocoyow, i own one. it's the older model though. i use it as double pump instead na single lang. it's good. i get 16-24oz per day with it. with 4months of use (daily pa ha!) okay pa rin siya. i use yung #1 and #2 strength lang. i can't tolerate beyond it. #2 suction strength is the best for me.

sis 5 months? or baka 5 weeks... pump before you feed the baby para ma-stimulate the breast to produce more milk pag nag suck ulit si baby. ok lang na konti nag ma pump sa start, konti pa lang din naman ang demand ni baby at 5 weeks.
