...and so the expressing marathon begins

[popsycal]

I expressed for 18 months when i went back to work after ds2 and the day is looming again with ds3....

sigh

its hard to use a hand pump and type at the same time....had forgotten that
i hate my medela mini electris tho

Go on Ebay and get a Lactaline - you can double pump and MN then. I expressed at work 5 days a week for a year with one, and for longer when away for work

i cant stand the noise of electric ones!
my little avent hand pump and i are long establuished friends

Yes definitely go for a lactaline AND an expressing bra so you are completely hands free and can type. I exclusively expressed for ds1 for 18 months and got a lot of MNetting under my belt in that time

have you never seen the hair bobble hands free trick

ahh lucky you! lol
i hate my medela mini electric too... worth investing in a decent electric one?

The lactaline is much quieter than a mini electric. Quieter than most in fact.

Well since you are such a blooming expert and set in your ways, what are you on here moaning for?

lol

will look at the lactaline

we all need to moan at times and hand expressing and typing is like [patting your head and rubbbing your tummy

is no one interested in the hair bobble hands free expressing trick

yep agree, the medela mini is overly noisy. def made more noise than the big hospital one I hired from nct

I do I do

just for theprovinciallady - no one else can look

I did conference calls whilst pumping with the Lactaline, and no one could tell.

I read the hair bobble tip on www.workandpump.com

really?

i will def lookup lactaline then

why am i feeling a little funny about a second hand breast pump....

Thing is, that it is all totally sterilisable, or you can buy a new pump head set for the bit that is in contact. They are like the hospital grade pumps

But then I had to express for DS when he was born, and you just got issued with pump sets in SCBU and kept them in your box next to everyone elses - so buying a second hand pump wasn't an issue to me

oh yes - i used the hoospital pump for ds1 when he was in scbu without a second thought
