i think i saw ad today on avent manual pump selling for 129 from 260

I just bought a Tommee Tippee electric breat pump. Try to google it, you will know more info about TT breast pump & bottle.

Hi All,

Any experienced moms or dads out there to share if I would need a transformer/ adapter if i buy my Medela in US and use it in Malaysia?

I thought that the voltage in US & Malaysia is different but some friends said that they have no problem with their Avent pump. How about Medela?

I bought my Medela in US too (so much cheaper than here). I am using 9 volt adaptor and there hasn't been any problem so far.

Hi Victoria,

The adapter which you were using originally comes with the package?

No, I bought the adaptor here in Malaysia. It is a common 9 volts adaptor and you can just plug it to the power socket of the breast pump. You can get the adaptor in any electronic shop. It costs around RM 30 by memory.

I'm considering for MADELA SWING SINGLE ELECTRIC BREASTPUMP? Any comment for this ??

Buy from US? Do u means buy from EBAY?

I bought mine in US (Not thru Ebay). I am not sure about Ebay and Amazon. I think they should be cheaper too, but you have to check postage cost etc.

If you are a working mum, I would recommend using "Medela Freestyle" or "Medela Pump In Style Advanced". They are double electric pumps with dual phase expression. It normally takes me about 10 - 20 minutes to express milk per session.

If you are a stay at home mum, I would assume Medela Swing should be sufficient because baby would direct latch most of the time.

I've never used Medela Swing, so it is really not in my place to comment. But from what I heard from my friend and cousin (both are stay at home mums), it takes 30 - 40 minutes for them to express milk per pumping session using Medela Swing.

I agree with victoria_lucas....which is why we're selling off our Medela Swing We bought a double pump since my wife is a working mum and it saves 50% of the total expressing time....If you're a full time housewife then a single electric breast pump would be sufficient..

Hi Victoria,

Thanks for the input.

Well I would have to agree with both you & Justin as well that a double pump would definitely shorten pumping time especially if you are a working mom with limited time in the office to express.

Anyone bought this Pigeon Silent Electric Breast Pump before?? Not sure it is really that silent or not..

I heard Freestyle pump is not powerful enough. Thos experience mummy can please share over here.

Price about the same.
One light. the other one bulky.
One not powerful enough. The other one enough power.
One claim to be freestyle. The other one not freestyle but you can make it freestyle if you know how.
