Not tiring la. This one you pump fast around 6 times and hold it down - the milk will flow by itself. Just keep repeating till you get 3oz. Takes about 10-15 minutes or so.

pigeon, pureen seems to fit ur wallet
otherwise, "twin-sister" la

I'd suggest budgeting more for a great pump

Please look at the breastfeeding topic before opening one. thanks

noob coming new father here, thought keep pumpig to suck the milk out...
hence my wife keep buzz me to get battery operated instead...


can specific? those RM300+? my wife think that get those cheap 1 will do as maybe will breastfeeding for short term only...


the reason i open another topic is bcos it seem like discussion of the benefit of breastfeeding when i saw the 1st post...
anyway, any moderator can move it if necessary...

have a look here, it's what my wife is currently using >>

if possible, do get battery operated ones. It's much better than manual pumping.

Also, those cheap ones are really not good. Get a proper brand.

If not mistaken, you can rent those good quality pump from companies who specialize in providing confinement service.

ryoko's rekemendation on spectra 3 quite good..

RRP : RM388... go google around.. i found selling at RM328

I dont know where to get a cheap one because this kind of pharmacy things usually comes with standard price ..wont be anyway cheaper unless u have contact inside the factory or sale related for the particular product.

I got some idea, u mod the house hold suction hand pump ..
it is same concept but bigger suction and capacity ..

the only thing should be careful is the 3 ways valves, make sure no contamination ...no lubrication fluid/dirts from the hand pump ...can put a filter to be safe.



OR

buy a 2nd hand one, because usually the baby is big enough we feed commercial milk already, so get from those ex-breastfed mom.

Hi,

Since i come across this thread and would like to share my experiences as well.
My wife after give birth and she was having her confinement at my mother-in-law's place.
At first we didn't plan to buy the electric breast pump as my wife's friend said will lend the manual pump to her.
We think that since we are not going to breast feed for long period, probably 2 months after her maternity leave will change to milk powder.

At 1st week, what i see is, she is very tired because need to wake up every 1 and the half hour to 2 hours to feed our baby.
Which made her very tired furthermore still need to pump the milk manually and store in container, put it into the fridge.
Finally i think i do not want to see my wife suffering by pumping the breast milk manually, i decided to buy her a electronic pump instead.

I also felt headache which brand to go, surveyed on Avent eletric pump, if not wrong i think it cost around RM400-500
and i think that it's not worth because of the above reason i mentioned.
so i went to a shop named BabyLand, the shop owner introduced me the Sunny Lion, which only cost around RM90-100, kind of forgotten the price but i'm sure its below RM100, i brought home and let my wife test, she is satisfied with that, maybe she doesn't wants to hurt me by telling the true, but if you ask for my opinion on this product, it produced some noise like "zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz" when it turned on.
anyway you can always survey first before you buy it.




Regards,
Neo

I bought mine in one of the local baby shop. It is an electrical operated breastpump with one outlet. It only cost me RM 60+ and it works perfectly well. Having breastfed my 3 babies, experience told me that don't buy too pricy pump for often you will only use for the first few months.

wah.... you bought it with only 60+ my money fly without wings liao

It depend on how long your wife would commit to breastfeed the baby and how many babies you want in your life...

i can only recommend for the long term investment, since my wife want to breast feed the baby for the whole 2 years.

manual pump:

1. Avent

2. Medela

Electric/Battery operated pump :

1. Medela

2. Spectra

3. Ameda

Although the price is premium, it's worth the price for long term investment...and there's a lot of local online shop such as momslittleones, lilkaistore, sarakids etc..sometimes they always have sales/bargains for the breastpump..so watch out..

if you still want more discount, go for ebay shopping..bought medela freestyle pump for half the price they sold here..but kena tax 15%..still cheaper than here..

Anyway, happy hunting

Cheers

where you bought this breast pump only cost you RM60++? What is the brand name?

i still recommend Avent manual breast pump..

Long lasting & the only issue is the small star valve will gave way after few yrs but u can always replace it with new one costing below RM10...

mmm..can tell me where to get that valve.. been searching quite few months now..

thanks

update :

it seems that the small star valve already discontinued..replace by another type of valve..

bought a madela pump for rm400 (80pounds) as my sister came back to malaysia for her winter holiday.. Haven't got the chance to use it yet. looks quite good.

if bought in malaysia, cheapest i've found was 650 for a brand new set
