pump it up

im sorry ladies (& guys if any) for lack of updates. not that im super busy nor i dont have internet at home. well, to you girls, im still reading ur entries btw. just let be honest, i malas gila nak update hokay! heh

so let see, other than gaining approximately 16kilos for the last 6 months, all i can say, ive gained sooo much. i look fat. well, i think my tummy is big. hubby thinks so too. but some ppl ive met complained that i have small tummy. yes, you've got it right, my pinggul is super huge now. that explains im carrying a mini me. opps. it's supposed to be a secret but the whole twitterville has already figure out so y dont i just share the great news to my blog readers. although at some point i feel like im carrying asri jr.

yes, we've found the gender weeks back during detailed scanning. my baby wasnt shy at all, and the dr said , well its obvious u're carrying a girl. look, here's the l*bia. well, i dont want to comment much nanti tetibe keluar anak lelaki, nanti org ingat anak jantan aku ada l*bia pulak. lol.
yes, ive made a list. i couldnt believe my eyes, there are sooooo many things i want. and whenever we went to the malls, we ended buying nothing. because at some point, i think some of the stuff are unnecessary. plus, i couldnt tawaf the mall like i used to. balik rumah kaki sakit. pinggang sakit. lepas tuh depress. lepas tuh asyik makan je. heh.

oh, remember, someone told me to get breast pump only AFTER u hv delivered. lepas tuh dalam group facebook kate, get the breastpump BEFORE u deliver. okay my main concern, what if no milk?or what if milk tak boleh produce- you see not everyone is as lucky as some of you. some got normal n*pples. some got flat n*pples. some got inverted n*pples. so, dont simply cakap, oh tak kuat semangat tuh pasal tak breastfeed anak. well, you are wrong makcik. anyway, since im in the not so lucky category, at first i think its better to get the pump after i have delivered. yelah, breastpump yang nak dibeli ni aint cheap. but then i need to think positive lah kan. so i was thinking to get freestyle (medela fs).



from what ive heard, uk is out of stock. (any uk ppl can get back to me on this?) i would love to buy from u uk ppl as long as the price is lower than 1200. if not, i prefer to get the fs dekat sini jela. surprisingly, fs costs from 1399 (that is w/o warranty if im not mistaken to 1999 (extra 2bottles and a thermometer) and some shops are selling more than 2k. okay, nak pengsan? sila.

tell me, is it worth it? because we have already allocate some money on this, yang lain perhaps beli murah jela. mummy and daddy dah kopak, sayang, heh.  

what say you?

oh this is me taken weeks back. @ 5months. 



maaf penulis blog amat segan nak tunjuk tripple chin ni. LOL

honey bedazzled said...

yUmIe said...

haah kn..i pn mcm confused and dilemma even bru je 2bln.hehe..bleh x klu b4 deliver i beli manual dlu.tgk ade BM ke x.then klu byk,bru beli yg electric.kre tgk keperluan lps tu le.if xperlu sgt,then i just use the manual tu je.huhu.membazir x,agak2??

NahiZ (chynk) said...

...beb kalo x dpt yg u ckp tu beli je kat Faheem Wardrobe...Starting from 1350 - 1500 for Medela FS...plus i siap beli shaklee utk milk booster from her...even u can get supplement for after bersalin pun ade...
Anyway If u really want to 100% BF ur baby always be +ve..there always a way for this gud reason no matter what kind of nipple are u. I dulu pun cam u igt nk purchase after deliver but change my mind to get it earlier...baby tend to sleep a lot, so i need to pump!...and BF needs lot of commitment! =)

@poyaty
yes, perut is comel. but heed is not comel. hehehe, nanti dah pregnant u can ask me anything :)

bitsANDpieces said...

@honey
oh avent? is it as good as fs? i will definitely read reviews pasal isis iq duo ni. thanks for the info honey!

bitsANDpieces said...

@yumie
yes, i was thinking the same tapi org cakap suction for manual macam tak cukup kuat. well i dont know. tak pernah hadapi.well, im sure theres no need kot beli mahal terus. ur idea can be use :)

bitsANDpieces said...

@nahiz
tuhla i checked die punye price. apparently there were two. yang 1350 tuh w/o warranty ke? semua pon suggest beli situ sebab paling murah kot.did u get fs as well? worth it tak? oh jelesnya boleh bf.

sweetlavender86 said...

kak heed i think medela fs is really worth it.zura beli yg medela electric suction xkuat.mule2 pump ok then lame2 dah xkuat.tension betul..pastu dah ade prob sakit hati jek..nk hntr repair mls ;)

venusfreedom said...

Hai.just to share, This is from my point of view. Org yang dah guna pump for the past 19 months. Pump is very important. Please cari yang hospital grade, as it mimics baby's suction. Then, if you r working, go for double pump and electric. Jimat masa n tangan pon tak lenguh. About brand, i pon minat sgt dkt FS.But, the price is a bit high to me. I use spectra3. But its bulky n berat. I didnt say this is the best, but its effective to me. Sepanjang guna, i hv sent my pump for service n repair 3 times. Make sure if u want to buy your pump, mesti ada warranty and service centre dkt malaysia. Spectra kalo u service, they gave loan unit
utk pinjam. But again i still adore FS n spectra doing fine at the moment.hope this helps!

Kecik je tummy :)
Kind of like mine when I was 5 months!

Anyway, I got madela swing but only guna less than 10 times in 10 months cuz Heidi don't like bottle! I think the swing is good enough (rm799) but the only thing is it takes longer to pump cuz u can only do it one side at a time. Other than that.. It's fine.

Btw.. Baby girl best! Tapi u'll b more pokai cuz there's sooo much cute stuff to buy!

bitsANDpieces said...

@nana
soon :) tak lame lagi ada lah rezeki Allah nak bagi tu :)

@zura
really? good to know that u managed to bf ur boy. tak tahu la nanti in the future mcm mana, whether im able to bf my girl ke tak. so, in the meantime zura still pakai medela electric suction? yg mane satu eh?

bitsANDpieces said...

@venus
seems like i have to place spectra3 in the list as well. where did u get your pump? from shops or from online shops? yes, maybe i should consider price as well.oh thank you for your comment!!!!! anyway, rasanya ni mcm first time dpt ur comment. keep on coming. i need some mom's tips :)

bitsANDpieces said...

@zura
well, heidi prefers her mom's rather than bottles. hehe. im so proud of you thatyou're able to bf your baby exclusively. she grows sooo fast. one minute u mengandung, next minute cukur jambul, then dah besar dah :) oh so u didnt use ur pump that often? so, probably i should get a cheaper range of breast pump i guess. thanks for the tip zura !

and yes, ppl say kalau carry anak perempuan, tummy kecik je. heh, hopefully mmg betul perempuan :)

AyureQ said...

got madela electric jgk like zura. pasal suction tu boleh service kt their outlet at bangsar. they said all madela mcm tu. if suction slow means ada susu tersumbat during pumping. I prefer you get the pump before deliver. sbb a day after deliver you need to pump out kalau x sakit sgt ur B. i think mana2 pump pun ok janji kena rajin. huhu. i pump my BM like 2jam sekali. penat gila. end up byk susu keluar sbb makin pump makin byk susu. i managed to produce more than 80 bottles during confinement. lepas tu dh kurang pump sbb xde masa masa kerja. now production dah berkurang.

i heard there is breastshield for inverted n***le. Perhaps you should talk to lactation consultant for advices. Then, from there you can proceed. Based on my experience, I don't recommend manual pump, my advice is to get double pump and electric straight away (if you decided to get one before giving birth), so spectra is very affordable. But then again, talk to lactation consultant, I am sure they will give u more profound advices for your case.

ada byk shop yg jual pump. I just bought online. U can visit www.momslittleones.com, www.sarakids.com, www.lunatots.com. Pump really help if u have inverted/flat/short nipples. Seriously.buy before u deliver.so u can bring along to hospital n it helps. I hv inverted N as well but now not anymore. Owh, please attend BF class. It helps a lot tau;)
Wish u all the best! Bf mom kena kuat semangat, degil n sabar. Nnti bersalin mcm2 myths dgr. Make sure u prepare yourself with lotsa info!

NahiZ (chynk) said...

Yes heed!
I got my FS ms baby 2 hari.
It's really worth it until now..ROI! I beli yg rm1500 wit warranty, takut kn jd pepe but so far no problem. Kdg tu bile traveling (kjg - perlis) siap bleh pump dlm kete! =)

hi i have followed your blog and i hope you can follow my blog back :-)

tootsie said...

hello dear..i advise u grab the pump before u delivered cos as u said once u d elivered, if breast u bengkak then the pump is gonna be ur life-saver! u seriously need that urgently than other stuff trust me cos i penah kena dulu and i mmg dah standby pump but guess wat?? still i ws super depressed cos it came out sket sesangat << it take times to come out at early stage.
