All About Breastpumps

[Queen Chokolah]

^Yup yun lang gamit kong pump. Been using it for 2 mos pa lang naman so far di pa naman nasisira. Hopefully wag naman. I use it 3x sa office and sa bahay sa gabi once. Spareparts are available sa babymama din. Nakabili kasi ako nung valve kasi napunit yung una.

[ainge88]

Thanks sis! sabi rin kasi ni babymama pag yun lang daw pump mo and exclusive pumper ka baka hindi tumagal sayo, kaya yung iba yung binibili the hospital grade one. Eh mabigat daw yun, commute kasi ako to and from work so talagang kelangan portable yung breastpump ko. Hopefully tumagal yung atin

[_AiaH_]

^ m1 is good naman sis. Unless you pump every 2-3hrs. Medyo hihina agad motor nya and mas madali masira yung parts. Hospital grades are designed for heavy use.

Pero if you do direct latching parin, ok lang yan sis.

[ainge88]

Thanks sis, yes, i'll still do unli latching when I'm with baby

Nagpareserve na ako ng Avent ISIS IQ Uno single electric breat pump. Kaso mukhang hindi kagandahan ang reviews ng Avent here. Napapaisip tuloy ako.

[Queen Chokolah]

I didnt know na pang light use lang ang m1. Kase sa comparison chart sa babymama, it's okay to be used frequently daw. Hay. I hope tumagal naman sya. Medyo mahal din naman. I was thinking of using it for pang matagalan kaya go kahit medyo mahal.

Pero anyway, love ko pa rin sya ngayon. Hehe. Rechargable pa anytime anywhere pwede mag pump

[khriseeee]

I really wanted the m1, it seemed to suit my needs-compact, portable, rechageable and has a closed system (compared to medela). But when i emailed babymama, she confirmed nga its not for exclusive pumping, 5-6times a day max only. That didnt meet my biggest need so i went with the medela maxi swing, just bought rechageable batteries nalang

almost two years ago, i bought a farlin manual pump - used it for 9 months. Ok naman siya, nagawa niya ang dapat niyang gawin.

Exclusive BM ako for 9 months 

[ainge88]

But when i emailed babymama, she confirmed nga its not for exclusive pumping, 5-6times a day max only.

how many times do you pump in a day sis?? tingin ko naman ako 3x - 4x a day lang kasi pag magkasama kami ni baby plan ko sakin pa rin siya latch, (sana wala lang nipple confusion si baby at gusto pa rin niya sakin) 3 times sa office tapos once siguro sa bahay bago matulog or after feeding ni baby.

@queen chokolah sis, pasok pa yung times of use natin, so sana tumagal yung pump mo sayo and yung akin rin

[Queen Chokolah]

^oo nga sis. me extra pa tayo 2-3 pumps a day. haha. Tiwala lang. so far alaga pa naman sya sakin. Kahit sana one year man lang

[ainge88]

sorry sis, baka natanong na sayo to, ilang output mo pag ganun ka kadalas mag pump? naka build ka ng stash mo na?

[Queen Chokolah]

^15-19oz sa 3x na pump sa office sis. tapos minsan nagppump ako pagdating sa bahay habang latch si baby mga another 4-5 oz depende minsan kasi tamad nako mag pump sa bahay. Di ako nag build ng stash, dino-donate ko yung sobra ko. meron lang ako aroung 20oz extra for emergency.

[ainge88]

^ so yung na pump mo today yun yung inumin ni baby tomorrow? Naka freeze ba yung extra mo for emergency? Wow, you donate rin your BM galing naman sis Thanks for answering!

[khriseeee]

Ainge88 i haven't given birth yet, but my work sched is erratic so im expecting i may need to exclusively pump after my maternity leave

[anniegurl]

any reviews on medela pump in style?

[vain_kixie]

If your planning to use it at home lang then i'll recommend it. But if you'll travel with it buy the freestyle nalang. Been using it since July lang though so i cant tell how long it would last. I used to pump once a day but now i pump 3x a day na kasi my baby is sooo distracted with nursing.

[Queen Chokolah]

^ so yung na pump mo today yun yung inumin ni baby tomorrow? Naka freeze ba yung extra mo for emergency? Wow, you donate rin your BM galing naman sis Thanks for answering!

Yes sis ganun ang set up namin. Di pwedeng tamarin kasi pag tinamad ako walang milk si baby bukas. haha. And yes naka freeze sya pero never pa namin natry padedein si baby ng frozen milk. Some babies don't like frozen milk. hehe. And gusto ko kasi as fresh as possible.

Thanks sis. di rin kasi ako makapag build ng stash sa bahay kasi di nag ffreeze ang milk ko sa ref namin so yung emergency stash ko nasa office yun nakatambay. Then I met a mom na preemie ang baby nya and she's having issues sa milk production nya kasi me condition sya. So for the meantime habang pinapadami nya milk nya binibigay ko sa kanya extra milk ko.

Thanks for asking!

Based on your schedule mukhang good choice nga yung maxi swing.

Thank you mga sis for the infos! cross fingers when the time comes, katulad niyo rin ako na successful ang pag pump

to all the mommies who have electric breast pump, Need ba isterilise  yung membrane? Saka yung mga tubes? Pansin ko kasi medyo nagmomoist [textspeak!] loob nung akin e. Btw, i am using Spectra m1 cmilre. Thanks!

According to the girl at medela house, you should wash the tube.  Siguro may water sa accessories mo hindi mo na air dry ng maayos.  I bought extra kasi that happened to me too. As for the membranes, no need to sterilise daw often kasi nasisira agad.

[khriseeee]

^really? Medela told me naman no need to wash the tube as it doesn't come in contact with milk. I bought directly from medela mom
