Breastfeeding Advocate

I am a breastfeeding advocate. I am exclusively breastfeeding Ali for 3 months now. I have always believed in the benefits and wonders of breastmilk. Research shows that formula fed babies gain more weight than babies who are breastfed. Salina Ros is an exemption I suppose, since she's a tubby roly-poly princess. When you say exclusively breastfeeding, it means nothing but breastmilk (no water, liquids, infant formula or food). I enjoy every minute of this God's precious gift to us women. I am a work-at-home-mom, I can breastfeed Ali anytime she wants and can transact business with my clients at the same time. Check out these breastmilk benefits!
I seldom use my breastpump now because most of the time I am home. I only go out of the house if I need to buy medical supplies for my Dad or if I want to escape from stress at home then I'll go shopping with Seo. My Mom bought this Evenflo Comfort Select Performance Automatic Cyling Breastpump for $41.99. And I say, it's a big help. I could not make any comparison with any other automatic breastpump since I only used  Manual Breastpumps with Rye and Seo before.


Product Features: 
  • Automatic cycling simulates baby's suckling
  • Vacuum-control dial allows you to adjust suction pressure
  • Pump horn has full silicone cushion insert for increased comfort
  • Operates on either an AC adapter or 3 AA batteries
  • Compact, lightweight and discreet
I have learned how to use it, and it's been great for me. It works like a charm, it's genius! It's not frustating using this unlike with manual breastpump, it'll take you an hour before you pump 2 ounce of milk. Not to mention, manual pumps can leave your hands tired and sore. The only thing I don't like about it is the noise. I hope the manufacturer can do something about it so that future buyers can enjoy its optimum functions. Needless to say, I give this 4 stars! It's highly recommended.

hi venice! i've been breastfeeding our 5 1/2 month bany since day one. oh, he's so heavy! he weighs like that of a one year old kid. :) btw, i'm using lansinoh double electric breast pump when i'm at work and avent manual when travelling. both have been beneficial to me. but lansinoh works best for me. i just sit back, relax and voila, milk-filled bottles in less than 15 minutes! i was able to donate my extra milk to PCMC and my niece pa. :)
good luck to you and your family. brain says hi. :)
