^^sis m_lim, i can't really speak of the new allegro kasi i have no personal reference to it but yung older model, i can swear by it. baka you can ask babymama if pwede switch mo na lang to unimom forte? yung nga lang medyo mabigat din but not much naman.

sis luisa, it's okay naman but i just have lower output with avent double electric compared to unimom. made in korea ata siya. i have an avent double electric pump as a back up of my unimom. nagamit ko lang nung nasira yung allegro ko. nakatambak lang sa bahay. sayang. hehe.

sis iristacey, gano kadami [textspeak!] napupump mo using avent double electric compared to unimom?  may difference ba talaga yung dami ng napoproduce natin breastmilk kung double electric ang gamit versus single electric?  or yung pumping time lang talaga ang marereduce?  i'm hoping mag-increase [textspeak!] milk production ko and reduce pumping time kaya I'm considering double electric.

Hi sis,

Just wondering if you guys have any idea how much the medela pump in style is Kapag buying from medela authorized distributor here in the Phils. Was originally planning to purchase online via amazon para cheaper but I heard Hindi na raw I a-accept ng medela Phils. For repair Ang Mga pump na binili sa states.

Thanks!

^bakit kaya saken ang hina ng suction? :(

malakas lakas ang suction(#7 setting. highest) pero hindi parin kasing lakas ng medela pump in style. pero sabi ni babymama, dapat kasing lakas sila. siguro nagiging reference ko lang yung medela or ewan ko kung defective yung motor.

hindi nga ako nakaka 3oz sa Allegro. :(

So ibig sabihin parang allegro ang cheaper version ng medela? Kung ganon sana maayos yung maibigay sa aking unit..

^halos same nga sa medela.

yung Allegro na bago kasi hindi ganyan. yung horn niya may spring pa sa taas.

pero sa tingin ko wala sa horn eh. kasi sinubukan ko ikabit medela horns sa allegro pump, ganon parin yung suction. kaya nasa motor talaga nakadepende yung lakas ng suction.

kaya rin siguro ang ingay netong medela kasi ang lakas talaga ng higop.

siguro yung bago ng medela, yung freestyle, yun ang tahimik, magaan at malakas. kaso mahal!

^ by the way sis, have you checked if yung dr. Brown bottles mo nagfit sa allegro? Sabi kasi ni babymama fits all kinds of regular and wide neck bottles daw..

^pinapadaanan ko lang ng tubig tapos hang vertically hanggang matuyo. no need to sterilize na kasi di naman dinadaanan ng milk.

^sis m_lim, baka nga faulty yung napunta sayong pump assembly. kasi yung sa akin dati malakas talaga sya. di ko na nga kaya yung setting na 4 eh. hanggang 3 lang ako. i also want yung medela freestyle pero wala din akong sufficient budget that time. yung avent nga sayang eh. sana kahit swing na lang binili ko. but syempre wala ng magagawa :) saka ngayon lang lumabas yung swing maxi. nakapanganak na ako. sinabi ko nga kay hubby na benta ko na yung avent eh. parang sa kanya may sentimental value, sya kasi bumili nun hehe. but i like my unimom forte. btw, have you tried using it without the petal massager?

ako naman i run alcohol or distilled water on the tubing to clean it.

^hindi ko talaga ginagamitan ng massager yung Allegro kasi pag may massager, totally walang suction! hindi kasi nasesealed yung breasts. ewan ko bakit.

My baby is 6 months old. Okay pa ba to invest in an electric pump? I breasfeed directly pag gabi and weekends, formula in the morning. Im eyeing unimom kasi out of budget saken ang medela. Or will manual pump suffice? Thanks.

^ you don't pump during the day sis? Buti di humihina supply mo? If you plan to ebf your baby until 1 to 2 years old, i think better ang electric. Actually i have manual pumps..nakakangalay kaya im trying the electric naman this time.

Question.. Sa manual kasi pagnagpapump ako, after few minutes pag konti na lang lumalabas, nirereposition ko yung horn.. Ganon din ba sa electric?kailangan ireposition to reset yung paglabas ng milk  ika nga :)

^parang ganon na nga. ako kasi i pump mga 8minutes then pause, massage massage tapos resume ulit. mas madami akong nakukuha pag ganon.

pinadalhan ako ulit ni babymama ng motor. ganon ata talaga siya. feeling ko kung sa manual ako nagsimula or wala akong basis of comparison, ok na rin siya para sa price niya. nakukumpara ko lang siguro sa in style ko.

pareho naman sila may advantage at disadvantage.

si unimom di nasisimot milk ko pero super gaan. tsaka affordable.

si medela nakakasimot pero super bigat at ingay. tsaka mahal.

^^^naku sis sana nga mabigyan ng justice ni allegro ang manual ko.. At binura ko na sa option si medela electric. Dami ko pa nakikitang murang 2nd hand kaya Natetempt nga ako bilhin pero naisip ko kung matagal ko gagamitin dapat brand new.. Anyway, how about yung medela bottle sis nagfit ba sa allegro? Oorder kasi ako sa amazon ng medela storage bottles na lang. Kasi parang mas okay gawing storage yung covered kesa sa feeding bottle.. Feeling ko kasi hindi ganon sealed.

sis luisa_pomeroy, may ibang GTers na hiyang sa avent. i recall kaya nga ako napabili nun kasi maganda reviews ng old threads. but hiyangan talaga ang pump. trial and error. kaya lang mahal na trial and error di ba? :)
