towards motherhood [episode; breastpump]

okay seperti title nye, stop guessing! dengan ini i dedahkan apa yang we both focused to buy at the expo - breastpump. or to be spesific, the electric one. i sengaja x nak yang manual, bukan x bagus or malas nak guna tangan yang Tuhan bagi, tapi i ada alasan tersendiri and will share with you as you read through okay. apapon perlu diingatkan, electric breastpump, as it provides you a lot more convenience, paham-paham sendiri lah yang price nye lebih mahal compared tu manual one. the above three models are the finalist in my wishlist, dan segala brand lain yang ada x bermakna no good ye, cuma i prefer not to buy for some personal reasons, whereas quality and comfort are my priority. dah tanya-tanya feedback from users jugak, be it kenalan-kenalan sendiri or forumers di internet. and of course, i x akan bagitau what brand are they lah. nanti free je kena gam. jadi diam-diam discuss about those three pilihan hati sudah.

avent and medela, the two top choices among moms now, i should say. x perlu explain panjang tentang kemasyhuran dua brands nih. then sekarang nuk products datang menyelit di celah industri. actually nuk dah glamour dengan unique shape of its bottle teats yang lebih mimic bentuk nipple yang memenuhi rongga mulut baby semasa breastfeeding. jadi senang cakap, dengan nuk teats or pacifiers, baby x akan face masalah jongang ke ape, sebab ia x mengganggu gusi, x menekan lidah macam design biasa yang lain, dan sekaligus moms x perlu risau baby akan jongang kalau pakai pacifiers pon. 100% worry-free.

okay itu intro saja. now focus on the electric breastpump. i cuma explain pendapat i sendiri and i cuma focus on three models walaupon ada banyak lagi product range bagi setiap brand, jadi y'all bebas memilih, still... okay? urm i membanding-bandingkan antara Philips Avent Single Electronic Breast Pump, Medela Mini Electric TM, and NUK e-Motion Electric Dual Phase Breast Pump. persamaan all three; ada option electric power and battery usage [important when you are on the go], ada dual-phase pumping system di mana secara automatic the sucking rhythm mimic baby's suckling. sekaligus initiates penghasilan susu [yang mana first time mother selalu complaint x ade susu, but actually they just fail to get the rhythm, and also beberapa reason lain yang insyaAllah sooner or later i akan share dengan y'all pasal isu ni] dan melancarkan penyusuan. that is why kalau boleh dont go for manual unless you have someone who really can teach and guide you in expressing milk.   

tapi avent lagi special, it comes with manual option, make it 3-in-1, so let's say we run out of battery on the go, we can simply proceed with manual. no rush for batteries. bagus kan? tapi sebagus brand dan specs nye, bagus juga price nye. and medela, for price reason, i didnt go for it. kalau manualnye memang murah. tapi x ape lah. apapon kedua medela and avent x punya pacifiers macam nuk. lagi pulak, medela and avent x ade adjustable sucking strength option. but for avent still okay kalau rasa nipple dah pedih boleh switch to manual and adjust the strength by your own hand. for medela? menangis lah kepedihan.  [wrong fact. refer comments below for correction. thnx sis sadd!] .so i go for nuk. maybe anda di luar sana boleh pilih breastpump mana-mana yang anda suka and still can go for nuk bottles, tadehal. but i myself prefer nuk breastpump because the price is reasonable [plus rm100 discount - harga expo] and the quality is well-known and proven, dan juga atas reason2 yang tadi. itu yang penting. hehe~ kononnye lah. okay baeklah baeklah. kena mengaku jugak yang i agak TER-influence dengan warna biru nye itu. haha.

ini ada sikit artikel i copied from the websites abt nuk breastpump, baca lah kot-kot y'all akan tergoda;



Pumping system modelled on nature:

• Breast is most definitely best. But sometimes it might not be possible to breastfeed your baby. If this is the case for you, NUK breast pumps can at least be of practical help. Using an NUK breast pump will not only stimulate the ongoing production of breast milk but will also allow you to build up a stock of this precious milk.

• The NUK e-MOTION’s electric, dual-phase pumping system is modelled on nature and is particularly efficient when used regularly. The first phase stimulates 'let-down', using a stop/start sucking rhythm. The second phase creates a steady milk flow through a slow, intensive sucking rhythm that imitates the natural rhythm of your baby.

• The infinitely-adjustable suction strength allows you to express your milk particularly gently.

• The flexible, softly coated Optiform breast shield fits snugly against your breast.

• With few parts – particularly easy to assemble and clean.

• The special, ergonomic design makes for a comfortable grip and allows easy operation with one hand.

• NUK e-MOTION is certified to CE standards and compatible with all NUK FIRST CHOICE Anti-Colic wide-necked bottles.

• Included with the pump are: a FIRST CHOICE silicone teat, Size 1 (0-6 months)- S (extra fine), a screw ring, a protective cap, a sealing lid, an anti-tip stand, a travel adaptor for various countries and an NUK breast milk container.
