for new mommies

After 2 years and 7 months, Clayton was officially weaned last month. This has been a wonderful, fulfilling, meaningful and rewarding experience for me as a new mom. Looking back, my breastfeeding journey started off challenging but it was made possible with the support of a good lactation consultant, my dh and good friends around me.

I had bought a few breast pumps along the way before Clayton was efficient in latching. One of the pumps that has gained much popularity among mothers in a mommy forum is the Ameda purely yours, a Hollister Breast Pump. Besides being affordable, this is great for new moms as the patented HygieniKit Milk Collection System helps to prevent any milk leaks into the tubes via a silicone. Talk to the nursing moms and they can tell you how much time it takes to wash those tubes when milk gets in – I was one of them. Time is precious and always insufficient when you are a baby with this new lifestyle. This method of milk collection has proven to be more hygenic and helps to avoid any bacteria contamination. With 4 different speeds and 8 sunction levels, you can choose what is comfortable for you during milk expression.

Great for those working moms or moms on the move as the Ameda Purely Yours only weighs one pound and its compact size makes it easy to fit into a big carryall bag. This is definitely a more cost saving option if you don’t require one with a bag storage.
