Well done Bec . Jake is probably getting more than you can express, so don't underestimate how much he is taking from you each time he feeds. Every drop is truly an achievement!!
Bec I've been meaning to find this thread and find out how you're going. I'm almost crying reading about you feeding your little boy. Even if you never get back to full time BFing the feeds you are having are such a special treat for you and Jake. Well done.
Any more updates?
Beckstar i think its amazing what your doing... Great job and good luck...
Just wanted to mention that i actually purchased a double pump Brand New from ebay for $87... A cherub brand... Their fantastic... would recommend a double electric pump for anyone considering expressing... Nice and quick and it works a treat.
Je$$ is the cherub brand one nice and quiet? I'm jumping on Ebay right now! I'm not even UTD with #2 yet but that is a bargain. The cheapest one I'd found was an Ameda double electric one for $300.
Spice- well its the only one i have used so have no comparison but i use it with bubs on one side and express from the other and it doesnt bother her... she still falls asleep... It did say it was a quiet one... It came in a pack with bottles teats etc plus little bag to keep everything in... I searched and searched... They also sell single ones that are auto electric... i have noticed some are electric but you need to press a button to release and suck. The cherub double one i have has 2 settings one quick pump (like when bubs forst starts sucking and the second setting is longer sucking for the thicker milk and you can choose to pump right or left or both together. I brought one as my supply wasnt the best but now i'm not having as many issues... Just need to remember to keep up using it... (even though i cant get DD to drink my EBM from a bottle...) I'm freezing it though...
Even on the cherub website there not as expensive as other brands... i lost a few auctions before i won there pretty popular. mite take you a few goes.. but still a double pump under $200 i still would have paid... so great to pop it on both sides and away you go... usually for me 15 mins max and i have 2 full bottles... Its great.
Oh cool, it sounds really great. I have a Nuk mini electric one that I had to press on and off the button to use it and it sounded like a whipper snipper so as long as it's not like that I'll be happy. I had big supply probs last time so I want to be able to use a good pump righ from the beggining next time to help build my supply.
Spice- i forgot to add it has an adjustable suction knob... so great when you have limited time to express both sides at once... Just pop them on and away you go... i ususlly do it while i'm sitting down with a cuppa... LOL Did you find one on ebay??
Oh Bec... Also forgot to add previously... even though you express only a little bubs still manages to get more out... Somedays i think i have no milk as i cant express any but if i hand express i get a little bit and if Tiahna suckles she manages to get heaps more out...
Hey Je$$. I won the auction on Ebay. I paid a little more than you - $111 but that is still sooo cheap for an electric double breast pump. Thanks so much for telling us about them! I'm all set - just got to have another baby now. lol
