Hi, Recently, i just bought s1 pump. I would like to know how does e in built battery works? When do i have to press the massage cycle? The highest suction is not that strong compare to ameda is that normal? For ameda i pump for 2omins for S1 how long do i need to pump? Thank You!!

The inbuilt battery just means that you can charge the pump and bring it to another place to use when needed. The battery can last for around 3 hours when fully charged. My friend who is using S1 says that she starts the pump will start in the massage mode to simulate let down before switching to expression mode. Not sure about the suction issue because my friend found it very powerful. Hope this helps somehow. :)

Hi mummies, am exclusively bf my 16 month old. Got to wake up to latch at least 3 times throughout the night. Heard comments like I should give FM to my lo now cos BM is not filling enough for him to sleep through. Is it true?

Don't really agree. My 9 mths old also wakes up 3 - 4 times every night for milk. For kids who doesn't wake up, they will eventually train themselves to be such.

I'll be going on a 5 days vacation in September. How do I make sure my stash is enough for my fully breastfed lo? He is mostly direct latching and I'm nursing on demand.

After nursing, go pump it out. U need to train him bottle feed from now cos it take a while for baby to learn.

Hi all, breastfeeding mama to a 6mo here. I have been taking calcium and DHA from my gynae and they're running out soon. I'm thinking of getting some in my own. Bought some nordic natural postnatal DHA from iherb, but unsure of which calcium supplement to get. Any recommendation? TIA!

Usana active calcium and biomega is pretty good too

I'm exclusively breastfeeding my 2 month old daughter. How do I know if she's already finished eating?

Familiarize yourself with the cues. Sometimes, the baby accidentally unlatches from a breast and when this happens, try to offer again. If the baby refused, then maybe it's one sign that he/she is really feeling full

How do you determine hat your baby is full from his feed via direct latching? Total breastfeeding mum here. Mine falls asleep very quickly whenever I nurse him & when I attempt to wake him up, he refuses to continue latching hence I suppose he's full & I'll place him back on the bed. After I've placed him back down, he wakes up again and cries for milk again.

A good feed should be ideally ard 15 mins. They shd rest after dat for 1-2hrs and after dat, wake up for milk again. Babies may just be tired and needs to be awaken during feeding else u will suffer.

yap!! autumnz bottles fit. pigeon and piyo bottles also can fit medela pumps. most slim neck bottle would fit actually.

My baby is 3 weeks old. I am a complete breastfeeding mum. Most of the time I direct latch him & express about twice a day. My maximum stash I'm able to express is at 50ml only when my breasts are fully engorged. Adding onto hand express, may go up to 70ml (at times). I'll be returning to the workforce in September. I'm really worrying about the supply that I'm expressing will not be enough for him after I return to work. I know direct latching boosts and power pumping boosts supply. But seems like my manual breast pump is not helping to drain enough supply on my breasts. During some days, I can only express a maximum of 70ml using my pump only. It can't even fill up my milk storage bag. Should I change to an electric pump instead?

Has anyone ever tried their own breast milk? I've not! I was wondering if breast milk tastes different from day-to-day based on the foods we have consumed?

One of my friends told us that she tasted her own breast milk so that she would have a basis for comparison when she need to determine if the milk has went bad. She described it as being very sweet. I've read that the taste could be affect by the nursing mother's diet as well.
