After 3 day of Widad’s birth, my breast milk flow like a waterfall (betul ke perumpamaan ni). After 3day of stressful day of few breast milk, now my milk were produce efficiently until my breast engorge and I need to pump out to avoid breast engorgement. I’d used Medela Freestyle Breast pump and so far I satisfied with it (kalu tak satisfied pun still kena satisfied sbb harga dier mahal ooo).
This is my review on Medela Freestyle Breast pump
Pros
- Portable and mobile – I can walk around the house and do other works while pumping
- Hand free – I can write this blog post, reading, chatting while pumping, huhuh
Multitasking Mummy..huhuhuh
Skype with Mr Hubby and Amirul plus pumping time
Approximately 3.5oz for 30mins pumping session
- Small motor size- A palm size motor is very convenience to hold
- Lightweight – Easy to carry
- Rechargeable battery – Convenient and flexible to use when power source is unavailable
Its Widad’s drink time. So one side for Widad and another side for Medela Freestyle. Don’t waste even a drop.
Pump on my bed, anywhere everywhere..
- Timer – I can easily know how long I’ve been pumping without looking at the clock
Cons
- Cost – Quiet pricey compare to other brand
- Noisy motor – Sound like lawn mover.. huhuuh
A palm size motor with noisy sound. - The hand free kit accessories are complicated to use and take few minutes to attach
Expressed Breast milk
Alhamdulillah, currently I managed to pump out at least 2oz – 4oz of breast milk per session. Normally my pumping session are early in the morning around 6am and before go to sleep at 11pm. I’m using zip lock liner to store my breast milk. Its to minimize the fridge space usage as currently I’m staying at MIL’s house and travel back to Kelantan.
Each stock was labeled with date, time and Widad’s name
Note : Besides its noisy motor, i loves everything about Medela freestyle

I plan to buy a DP as well, but still doing research and torn between FS & PISA. I have a mini-e, but my milk supply wasn’t much with that pump, and the sound of mini-e, really like lawn mover.Saw your video, the sound of FS are really loud, but wonder if the noisy sound as loud as mini-e?? Any idea.
KambingBujang July 1, 2010
Through my experience with my officemate whose using mini-e, FS have quieter sound compare to mini-e. As for me, the milk productions is not totally depend on breast pump, when your supply is higher, your milk productions will increase. However, FS is saving your pumping time, where normally when i pump for 30minutes, i will get approximately 5oz – 8oz for both breast

Minmin December 3, 2010

KambingBujang December 3, 2010
I’ve being using FS for 7 mth and the performance so far so good. No problem with the motor. Since you already ready my review on FS here, maybe you can also my experience bought FS through eBay at this post :
http://kambingbujang.com/2010/11/30/my-breastfeeding-diary-my-medela-freestyle-from-ebay-ebay-is-a-hassle-free-market-place/
To me, FS is really worth for money as I conveniently express breast milk at my work station, the flanges also soft and I feel comfortable while expressing breastmilk.
For you info, FS come with the complete set of cooler bag with storage bottle, accessories, tote bag, adapter etc. however, i only use the FS and storage bottle. other I bought new cooler bag and ice pack. Not because they not good, tapi the tote bag nmpk girlish sgt kalu I pakai.. huhuh

I was curious about if you ever thought of changing the design of your site? Its well written; I really like what youve got to state. But maybe you could add a little more in the way of written content so people could connect with it better. Youve got a great deal of text for only having one or two images. Maybe you can space it out better?
