Breastmilk Storage questions

[huangyenhao]

hi do we have breastfeeding moms here?
anyone pumps her milk out and store it in freezer for future use?

id like to know where to buy milk storage bags (like Gerber, Playtex, or Lansinoh, avent, medela, etc.) here in Manila, or storage bottles (which saves money and good for environment). Please post where to buy and their prices...

Thanks for ur information!!

Sa una lang yun masakit. Pero actually, nakaka tanggal pa nga ng sakit yun lalo na kapag punung-puno na yung breast.
well, at least yung manual, kasi kontrolado kung gaano kalakas ang pump. Meron kasing mga nabibili na de motor yata yun hehe.

Ang alam ko sa sm meron nung gerber na ziplock bags na pang breast milk talaga tapos pwede mo na i deretso dun sa "bote" na bottomless, literally, tapos susuksukan ng nipple.

Kapag nasa freezer yung gatas at hindi pa nagagalaw, pwede siya mag last hanggang 6 months, nababawasan din daw ng nutrients yun habang tumatagal na frozen, pero kahit na frozen breast milk daw better pa din kaysa formula.

ingat lang sa pag pump, may technique pa yan para hindi kaagad matuyuan si mommy. Kailangan may schedule, katulad din ng pag breast feed mismo, kung may schedule, mas matagal na may gatas si mommy.

hmm so dapat manual breast pump...ano kaya itsura nito

[huangyenhao]

I use Medela mini electronic pump and Avent isis Manual breastpump.
masakit sa una.. because when you pump it regularly, ur nipples skin will become very sensitive and dry. i improve it with my Mad Gab lipbalm, as lubricant..it gets a lot better.

I know people are using Lansinoh to heal wounds. but i dont have any ideas where to buy..hehe.. most items are prepared by my MIL and husband...

I search online, however, still no ideas where to buy those good things here.

ung sa sister ko, manual pump ang gamit niya. may naka-attach sa breast, tapos may bottle sa ilalim... tapos may handle para sa pag-pump. ung parang sa ginagamit sa mga halaman, pero instead na palabas ung laman ng bottle, doon napupunta ung milk

Yung sis-in-law ng wife ko, gamit nya electronic breast pump. Mas hindi nakakapagod, pwede pa maginternet while pumping milk dahil pwedeng one hand lang hawak sa pump

[huangyenhao]

for me Medela electric and avent isis manual are both efficient... i usually pump for 20-30 minutes.. every 2 or 3 hrs.

went to sm baby co. today, they have playtex and gerber disposable liners, both are plastic milk bag...but without zipper or sticker to prevent milk leakage. they are just designed for bottomless baby bottles/travel use.. while Pigeon one is out of stock...

What i have here is made in Japan named Kaneson only 20 pcs.. need to look for a substitute soon since im going back to work.
