Owhh my M.E.D.E.L.A

My medele freestyle ni dh bjasa since my lil boy 3 DAYS old..skrg dia dh almost 20months..lama xlama kan..but tq to my beloved hubby la of coz suprised me with the pump..before delivered lagi dh smpi..that time seriously mcm.."ha? apakah?? nk handbag coach!"..*dlm hati* :p

So apa jadi skrg? last week the pump started making a weird thing..suction dh tak function very well...masa or time berjalan/berdetik..but suction xjalan..last week mcm for few seconds je..then lately smpi 30saat..now seminit pun ada...medele freestyle suction tak function very well.

Like yesterday..time showed 10mins..but i rasa suction tu jalan ada la 8mins je in total..dgn terstop2 nya..and paling best..pagi ni mmg rasa dh x function la..uwaaaa....n thank god my colleague dh UPGRADE her pump to freestyle and bawak for 1st time td to the office..so skrg i meminjam body dia for this morning..so if xfunction jgk lagi..while at the office, harusla meminjam body my fren..and terpikir nak beli manual avent..standby la kan..

Last friday, i went to medela service centre at Bangsar..tot suction je problem kan..but that lady pun cakap suction dh kurang..and i cakap la suction leh tstop2..so she told me there are 2 possibilities je..either :

1) battery problem or ; but when she had a look at the battery she said mayb battery ok..sbb slalunya battery if problem akan keluar karbon kt tepi2 tu..sbb selalunya bukak2 cover akan nmpk hitam2...

2) motor problem :

So on that day..that kakak tu leh check on the suction nya functionality je..bcoz kalau motor or battery rosak ke..she need to let the engineer yang check..so wat she did :

 

How they check the suction..

 

Testing 1 2 3..



Since suction tu bkait ngan body..so that lady akan mntk the whole things la..especially body and membrane 1 set tu..so if you girls are coming..bawak la the whole set k..senang nak check..as mayb bukan motor yang problem..but mayb breastshield or membrane ke apa ke.. :)

So as the engineer yang kena check.so harus la kena tinggal but they can give u a loan la..another freestyle as exchange..but since they have 4 of freestyle and smua pun dh kena orang pinjam..and i pn xde extra pump at home..so i have to wait their calls if anyone yang pinjam dh pulangkan balik as that lady told me la yang ada 2 body dh siap but the owner x datang lagi...so once drg dah dtg means i dah leh hantar mine la..

Basically i asked what will be the cost la if any problem happens kan..so the cost of changing the medela :

1) Battery : RM399

2) Motor : RM 300

so belum masuk labour charge smua la kot kan..but they will call us dulu kot before they started to change anything..

And me n hubby x rasa la ralat sangat if motor kena tkr..and x rasa ralat sbb xde warranty malaysia since we bought it from US kan..since problem ni happended after the warranty period > 1 year pn..hehehe..

I went yang kt Bangsar as i called ampang n bangsar and they didnt open during weekend..so paling nearby of coz la bangsar kan..it located at menara UOA..next tu dataran maybank..dekat ngan midValley and kalau nak naik public transport naik putra LRT and turun dekat Bangsar..rasanya mmg ada bridge masuk dlm UOA nye building pun :) akan nampak ada Old Town White Coffe..kalau dh nampak tu kira betul la tu..

Just go to 1st level n go to Tower A..and register there..give them ur IC as they will registered ur info to their system together with phone number...

 

I dah registered! :)

 

Nice...



Choose Low Zone as they are located at 18th Floor



Medela Ampang pulak is located blkg bangunan Hotel De Palma..nearby Ampang Point n Ampang Puteri..

So at servis centre pn they sell varities of spare parts..breastpump..siap ada standby for demo..ada stroller and mostly overseas nye brand..*kenapa la dulu tubing rosak x g cari kat sini kan*..harga sama je ngan i beli kt lunatots tu..tak terpikir as i ada baca yang drg cakap if bukan warranty malaysia harga smua akan jadi double..i rasa spare part dah ada tulis harga..mcmana plk kena tgk warrant baru price tu goes to double plk kan..

Based on apa that lady tu cakap..xde istilah double charge if u beli mana2 pun..its just whether its under warranty or not je..if beli overseas and beli kat malaysia yang more than 1 year..sama je treatment n charge..so ok la kan :) so those yang beli overseas medela..doa yang its ok for 1st year..hehehe..

Banyaknya...rambang mata! :)





For demo..

So now tunggu that lady tu call je...n hope kalau kena ganti motor it will cost me less than RM500 ok kot..still cheaper dari yang beli dari malaysia :)

Medela - Tubing for Freestyle

sudah almost 18bln mama menjadi pengguna tegar medela freestyle ini..last month dah started yang if i changed position or gerak2 pump..suddenly tdengar bunyi mcm suction problem..so i tot ada problem but i just ignored je..ahakss..

last week while i pumped in a car and babah was driving, baru perasan tiub tu dh koyak/pecah...but since leh guna..so i ok je la..

but lately, koyakan semakin besar n only few positions je yg akan buat suction tu ok..so i decided to get a replacement..but for the time being..i TAMPAL je pakai selotep..hehehe..but even tampal pn still x ok sgt since tube tu pecah kt almost hujung..so tampalan tu tidak sangat kuat...

pandangan depan

Pandangan sisi :)

Hasil creativity mama! :D

Since my sis kat us nk pos brg.earlier plan was to buy from there and wait la until mayb 2 weeks ke kan..but i checked from the internet and they have it here..so i decided to get it from malaysia itself la..xsanggup dah tunggu lama2...

i called few places..fabulousmom but xde stok at their branch kt ulu kelang..but they do have at the HQ kt bangsar..then i called onebabyworld..they said they have stock la..so since i have to rush back home yesterday, thats y la i cari yang dekat2 je...onebabyworld ada dekat taman permata, but mmg kurang hasam btul..once i sampai..drg cakap xde stok sbnrnya!! misscommunication between person at the counter and yg angkat phone...mmg hangin la mak kt situ!! mmg xkan ku jejak kaki ke sana!!

so setelah kehampaan n pumping session this morning with ketensenan...so pencarian bermula..i tried few places..tot dekat servis centre medela ada ke kan..but they dont have stock either..few places plk ada jauh2..xmo xmo..lastly call lunatots..and they have it..and dekat cheras pya branch..mmg sangat cantik la..since xjauh dari my opis..so before pumping session yang tengahari..i went there..odw back sedikit jammed dekat loke yew..took me 20mins je kot..but sempat usha2 dulu brg2 dlm lunatots :)

i called this number 012-5880515 and she gave me direction to go there..sgt mmg x sesat! :)

u r my saviour!!

small je pn kedai dia..

rangkaian barangan baby + breastpump + breastfeeding accessories

maternity clothes

Di akhiri with my afternoon's session...happy!! in 13mins only..

achievement since skrg nk dpt 100mlm pn susah..kena wat power pumping which took me almost 30mins per session

p/s : this happened since i main letak je dlm bag..campak2 smpi tube tu tlipat smua..so as at now, i akan cabut the tube and ltk on the top..selamat.. :)

Happy 2012

Happy New Year All...

Today is my 1st day for year 2011..and mayb to most of us la kot kan...

After bercuti for 2weeks, kalau ikut hari = 18days n sbb tu xupdate blog..hehehe...so ari ni as usual la..masa utk keje..n paling xbest biler :

1) Si kecik xmnum susu from botol..i tried to give him..but dia refused..tarik2 muka..ada skali dia mnum tp dia sedut then dia luah...OMG..habis basah baju

2) Si kecik xmo makan sgt..im not sure why..sbb mama kasi bubur yg sama je ke? not really..sbb mama ada masak nasi lembik2 wit soup...then ada skali soup ikan haruan *sbb jahit operation tbukak* ..n ada try kasi nasi wit kicap n ikan...but his appetite like merudum!!!

3) Si kecik jadinya xmo orang sangat...n macam biasa adegan tarik menarik tudung tadi of coz la jadi kan..hehehe...

4) Alhamdulillah as MEDELA ku bcuti for 2weeks, but production hari ini adalah seperti selalu..100ml (subuh), 150ml(11am) and 150ml(5pm) which leh recover stok yang di hantar ke nursery :) *currently using stok Oct2011*

4) get the Letter Offer for our 2nd house @ Rawang tu...at last, approved sudah..n we managed to get the unit that they offeref previously...

5) Sent the LO to the developer and babah for the 1st time, tgk location rumah tu...babah ada bunyi2 macam rasa jauh la rumah tu..n kawasan dia xmbangun lagi...like jalan xbesar lagi..but its ok babah..we just wait and hope for a better development at that area k

5) Last but not least...where is my engagement n wedding rings!!!i cannot find them...uwaaaaaaaaa.... T_T

Freestyle

Since im using Medela Freestyle(hubby bought it for me), i have an option whether to use single pump or double.

So during my 1st day until 1st week at the office (1-70days) :

i was using single pump (pegang sendiri * 1)

(71d - 78d ~1week) :

i was using double pump but w/o the straps that attach to the nursing bra...so meaning manual double pump (pegang sendiri * 2)

(79d - current) :

dengan beraninya guna double pump dengan freestyle ok...but xde la attach all straps tu..just gantung kat bra je..xde la lilit bagai macam nk pump sambil wat keje lak kan..hehehe..

ni style mmg freestyle habis la..hehehe

my conclusion after using those 3 methods :

- so production mcm biasa..same as when im using the single pump..but the time taken adalah sangat kurang..dulu macam 8oz kena guna dalam 30mins (masa baru 1st week masuk keje leh la lepak lama2)..but now meaning start from today i got 8oz within 12mins ok...

- dulu skali guna basuh 1 set je..so skrg jadi 2set la..breastshield + bottle..

sangat happy sbb my hubby bought the best breastpump for me..TQ yang!!! u r the best!! hehehe

p/s : at opis..kami2 as ibu2 ni hanya mengepam didalam surau di level kami..surau pn xbesar mana but still ada special room la..besar dia cuba imagine as skali smyg leh 3org je serentak..n at our level got fridge as well..since 1 level ni mmg kami2 je..so ok je la..perempuan muslim pun ada 8org n ibu2 mengepam ada 3org...
