EBM for working mom

Being a working mom and still breastfeeding a baby means extra work at the office. We still need to find time for our baby, meaning that we need not extra time but to adjust our lifestyle..if before having a baby, we could go to Sogo or Alamanda during lunch time, now we have to include 'pumping session' in our list and exclude shopping or jalan-jalan tengok kasut for the sake of our baby.

Why do we need to pump at the office, can't we just directly feed the baby at home after 5pm? the reason is we need to have enough supply, in order to achieved this we need to tell our body that we demand more. It is by expressing the milk either using our hand or pump. I pump 2 or 3 times at the office, normally at 9am or 10am, lunch time and before leaving home at 4.30pm.It is better to do it at the same time everyday...


Avent manual pump




Avent cooler bag.. I now carry two bag daily to the office plus two kid's nursery bag..

This cooler bag comes with 2 packs of cooling gel, I seldom use it coz my house is just 5 minutes from the office but for those who travel far it is their essential item.
