One more item (off the list !!)
..yesh..it is the Ameda Lactaline Breast Pump!
got a sms from my cousin that she din managed to get the pump during her recent US trip =(
went for the breastfeeding seminar last sat & saw a counter selling it..and it costs $380..
Dar was persuading me.."you wanna buy?"
"lemme think about it..we wait after the seminar, ok?" i replied....
Thus after the seminar..finally decided to get the pump --> walked towards the counter --> and guess what..bump into one of my forum fren who told me that TMC is having a special promo, they are selling the pump @ $318 !! (she just bot it in the morning)
whoa !! my lucky stars are shining on me..heee.. that's cost-savings of $62 !! (wanted to rush down to TMC but the retail pharmancy was closed for the day)
So this morning, 1st thing when i reached the office, i called TMC and yesh..there is 1 last set of the AMEDA PUMP..."Pls reserve for me..i 'fly' there during lunchtime !!!"
heeee... for the cost-saving, it's worth every effort c",)
soo happy !!

having heard all the benefits of breastfeeding..hope that i will have the WILL to persist and this little 'investment' will pay off c",) perhaps i need a little more motivation/encouragement..like what Mrs Wong shared during the last lesson...6 months of breastfeeding = savings of $750 (cost of formula milk)..so if you breastfeed for 1 year..it means that you save $1,500..on top of that, we should get our hubbies to do what the govt is doing..i.e dollar-to-dollar matching..thus for a cost savings of $1,500, hubbies to top up another $1,500 = TOTAL $3,000 (can buy a nice piece of jewellary to reward ourselves)..heee..all the mummies were nodding in unison..as for the hubbies..all pretend cannot hear anything..
mmm=p
nontheless, with a proper nursing room in office (complete with fridge)..i guess gg back to work & continue with the 'pumping' should be something that i can do for the benefit of our little precious and for myself too c",)
