^ me naman, I can't pump in the house na walang nanggugulo haha! gusto lagi kasali pag nagpump ako pero ok lang yun nga lang hinihila mga tubes at the other nga, natapon yung 2 oz kong na pump sa likutan, na unscrew yung bottle sa flange, nagulat na lang ako, basa kaming dalawa haha!

[iristacey]

^likot likot na talaga ng mga bebe natin! si joaquin din ang nakahulog ng unimom ko. good thing its repaired na daw. Yehey! bigat kasi ng avent.

Mommies, pwede ba pag samahin sa isang lalagyan yung na pump na bm sa loob ng 24 hrs? Sobra hina kasi na pro-produce ko bm, kada pump ko wala p 1 oz o di kaya atak-patak lang nakukuha ko. I have 8 storage bottles, ang ginagawa ko new bottles every pump. Or pwede ba isang bote na lang para andun lahat na pump ko in 24 hrs?

[iristacey]

^yes if they are already of the same temperature.

i'm pumping twice a day in the office now, in the morning and in the afternoon. usually 4-5oz per session. then after work direct feeding kami sa bahay. so far, nagiging enough naman yung napupump ko daily for next day consumption ni baby. she is 4 months old na now. i am really happy that we're sustaining. ang laki na din ng natitipid ko from formula milk. plus happy pa kami pareho ni baby.

[kaice]

^ true.. laking tipid plus bonding time talaga namin ni baby iba pag hinahabol ka ng baby kasi she knows she won't be hungry with you 9 months ebf na kami kahit busy ako sa work, i really try to sneak for some pumping time

Hello mga sis! 5 months na si baby, pero feeling ko bumababa na supply ko. Hindi na engorged yung breast ko and pag squeeze ko yung nipple minsan wala na lumalabas kahit sandali pa lang sya dumedede. Konti na napupump ko sa morning, 1 oz na lang, dati 4-5 oz. I need help!

Mga mommies, im planning to buy electric double breast pump. Decided na dapat ako bumili ng medela swing maxi but after backreading your posts, nakita ko na maraming gumagamit ng unimom. Mas okay ba eto compare mo sa medela? Medyo costly kasi medela, talagang investment, nasa 13.5k ang swing maxi.
Right now i am using avent manual for my 3 week old baby, okay naman, nakaka-ngalay lang talaga ng kamay pero i can get as much as 3.5oz/ pump, 2-3x/ day.  thanks mommies!

Do u direct feed? Try galactagogues like malunggay, oatmeal, fenugreek etc. or natalac

sis akiteklea, me i prefer my unimom over my avent pump. the old unimom model is very much similar to medela, even have the same membrane. their new model now seems to be similar to ameda. suction is good for me.

[akiteklea]

^thanks sis iristacey! Hubby bought na unimom forte yesterday sa mommymundo bazaar. The newer version, cheaper and smaller than the old one. Super ok, i can pump as much as 2.5oz/ breast in 5-8mins. Super time saver!

[theamazinganna]

^^is that from babymama? How much is the newer version of forte? I'm back and forth b/n the allegro and the forte. I'd much prefer forte but i'm afraid it would be too heavy to bring to work.

[iristacey]

^congrats on your new pump. i was about to send the reply last time but di pala napost. ay naku ganyan na ganyan output ko kapag unimom gamit. yung avent ko, waley. 4oz in 15mins. i dunno why. it works well for me only with full breast, like yung early morning. there i can get 8oz. pero sa unimom regardless of fullness, i get much better result.

sis si hubby mo pala ang nauna sa akin bumili kasi i went there around 2:30pm sabi may kakabili lang so i had to wait for another stock of forte to arrive. good thing i met Mi An the owner so tinuruan niya kami how to use Unimom forte. I will give birth by Jan next yr so I wouldn't know how efficient it is but basing on reviews here sa girltalk from Medela Maxi Unimom forte din binili namin. Spectra daw is nice also 1k ang price difference mas malakas daw yun according to Mi An but mas comfortable daw unimom forte.

Sana may magreview din sa spectra

[iristacey]

^si sis kaice is using spectra, and okay din naman daw. even comparing unimom and avent, mas comfortable ako with unimom, personally speaking. i can set the setting kasi from low first to allow letdown then increase it to have more powerful suck. sa avent, pwede din but i think i'm just not getting enough seal. parang hindi lang tugma yung size nya for my nipple. or maybe it's just me.

[akiteklea]

^oks din avent sakin, kaya lang manual. Kakangalay lang minsan and i need to adjust the shell very often kasi minsan nagleleak, lumalabas sa shell. Pero oks lang. Yung rubber shell ng avent halos same rin lang with unimom, comfortable naman sa akin. Yup, nagustuhan ko rin adjustable setting ng unimom rin pala. 

^^ [textspeak!] sis design21? Conicidence, kakatuwa! Katext ko si mi an the night before, tinext ko na lahat ng order ko sa kanya and she packed it so husband is picking up na lang. Original plan talaga medela swing, kaya pinapunta ko husband sa bazaar, dahil discounted nga ang price, pero last minute nagchange ako towards sa unimom after backreading this thread the night before. Super ok naman and for the price of P5900, sulit na talaga, compare mo sa maxi swing na P13500 (intro price) and single swing na P11k (P9.5k sa bazaar).

been Using Spectra for a month now, best buy talaga ito for me, fulltime pumping ako, at sya talaga ang bestfriend ko hehe. Hindi maingay, yo can adjust the suction power pa sa kung gano kalakas mo gusto. so far nakakaexpress ako as much as6-7oz in 20-30min
