I am using medela freestyle. For me, the power is enough. I only use level 3 and 4. Maximum is lvl 9. I am very happy with it so far. Small and mobile.

I have pumped using medela symphony which is the big one, in the hospital and I don't find much difference in the suction.

This is only my observation.

I am using the jingle jungle storage bottles. Connect straight to the pump. Even the caps I mix around. Fits well and economical.

If you can buy from places like amazon, US, sometimes can get free gifts as well, like big milk bottles, breast pads, the cream for nipple, etc...cheaper too.

Hi intanardy,

Just a suggestion, you can also store your bm in storage bags which are cheaper than bottles but can only use once. So far, I have not have to use frozen bm. Also, the bottles take up more space.

Oh, I actually bought medela fs from babies f us, US. I only paid like rm900 plus cause it was on sale at that time plus free gifts. I got my sister to send it over though. I figure I'll risk the warranty since the difference is a lot. Medela cannot be popular if it breaks down so fast....

I have been using it 3 to 5 times daily when baby was born but now, only 2 to 3 times since I dl. The only fault I find with fs is that the silicone valve thingy spoils fast if sterilised frequently.

Congrats, by the way

Hi. I think I saw it once at one of the baby stores in 1utama but that was early last year. Not sure if they still have it. Sorry I can't remember the name of the store. Was just in town for a one day shopping trip. Baby shops in Singapore will definitely have as well as eBay, though you did specify Malaysia, hehe....

Why do you want a Doppler anyway? I read that they are not as clear as the ones in the clinics and sometimes, can't pick up the baby's heartbeat cause of the baby's position. Don't wanna pry but don't scare yourself if cannot find heartbeat. Heard it happened to some mothers.

Congrats and good luck.
