Product - Medela Breastpumps My Breastpump Shop

Wheeeeee~!!!

I got my pump motor back! It has been 3 weeks since I sent it to Aja for repairing. It fell down and the next thing I knew - it stopped pumping! Cryyyyy. Lucky Aja offers servicing and repairing after the warranty expires. She also lent me a temporary replacement pump (the same model) until I got back my repaired pump. Awesome, right?

If you guys feel that you are still looking for breastpumps and don't know where to buy, please buy from Aja's shop here or her shop page in Facebook here. The best Medela supplier in town. In fact, the only supplier that offers repairing services after the warranty has expired! If you send your Medela to Lactaequip for servicing or repairing, you won't get a temporary replacement pump, and you may have to rent another pump to stay pumping.

I bought all my pumping gadgets from her and I am glad I did so.

Some may find her price for Freestyle is higher than other shops but as I stated before, she is excellent in after sales service! She offers installments (up to three times), kutu scheme (group monthly buying scheme) and gives freebies as well. I totally recommend her shop. Prompt reply, updates regularly, entertains queries well too :D

Babywearing - Jumpsac and Wrapsody Wraps

Holla...

Salam Ramadhan. It's day 2 already?

Busy. Jadi takde nak update sangat. BUT, I have new kind of indulgence these days - woven wraps. Hahahaha... yes, sangat detrimental for the pocket I can say!

The awaited fluffy mail.
Such a beauty isn't she?
Currently Jumpsac does not produce this anymore.
Lucky me!

I bought my first woven wrap a month ago (in May) and I LOVE it to bits! The thing is, some people like new things but there's this trade secret within the babywearing world - buy the 'broken-in' ones so that you don't have to trouble yourself going through all those starchy-diggy-wraps. I got mine from a mama from Babywearing Mamas (BWM) group in Facebook. Boyyyyyy everyone was jealous of the colours and many mamas queue on the DIBS (do inform before selling - chup la kiranya).

Jumpsac Taht 70's Rainbow with Violet Weft
Size 5
This is Front Wrap Cross Carry (FWCC) style
This picture was taken during Ahmad's audiology appointment at HPj.

It is super soft and those who tried it on during small gathering in June totally loved it! I wore it in public for umpteen times but the only time I managed to capture it in action was during Ahmad's audiology assessment early June (before I got back to work from my maternity leave).

A week after I got my Rainbow, one of the admins of BWM pm-ed me and asked if I would like to buy her Wrapsody Aurora. I said yes without hesitant and paid it with a payment plan. I just got it last week. Yeayyyyy... And I've been spamming my wall with action pictures.

Ashley even gave me the tying instruction by Didymos
And it never fails to make Ahmad sleep. I always do my house chores in wraps or SSC.

I've been experimenting with the ties in the book so please bear with my enthusiasm hahaha... Will definitely try with back carry because it is easier for me to cook. And safety measures for Ahmad too.

Enjoying the hands-free time and play with your older child.
Best kan? Kan? :D

How to choose the right carrier for your baby?

For newborns, and especially for a newbie mommies, try a ring sling. You could always opt for a batik sling, sewn or no-sew. Be careful with the rings because we need a metal ring with no openings. The best rings are the aluminium rings. DO NOT buy ring slings with nylon or plastic rings. There have been cases reported that the rings snapped or broken - and the rest you can guess.

And, DO NOT buy front-facing carriers, or crotch carrier (narrow-based hip). Illustrations as per below shows why we should not buy narrow-based carriers or hipseat:

WRONG                                                   RIGHT

THE WRONG WAY
Thigh NOT supported to the knee joint.
The resulting forces on the hip joint may contribute to hip dysplasia

THE CORRECT WAY
Thigh is supported to the knee joint.
The forces on the hip joint are minimal because the legs are spread, supported,
and the hip is in a more stable position.

Personally I prefer wraps. A wrap is also very, very comfy because I get to nurse my baby while walking around! Yeaaa... and Ahmad prefers wraps too because it snugs him in place. Asal keluar masuk dalam wrap je tidur or memang duduk diam. Refer to my pictures in action. Heheheheheh~ *racun*

Tapi kalau nak cepat, e.g. from the car to the nursery (20-30 metres), I'd buckle up my SSC. This is because Ahmad already has good head control, hence the SSC. If your baby still hasn't have his head control, use a ring sling. SSC is recommended for babies from 4 months old and above. You can actually watch tutorials on how to tie your wraps and ring sling on YouTube for better demonstration. I might do my own version of tutorial styles too, if I'm that rajin :P

If you still can't decide which one to use, please do not hesitate to join the group for newbies Gendong 101 on Facebook and you can ask questions there, and also rent the carriers.

Happy babywearing everyone! :D
