I've witness my elder sister, Long, was fully breastfed Aryan when she was a first time mom back in 2015. She had so many milk supply with her. She was so committed in making sure Aryan got her milk despite she was busy working & had a tight schedule. I was inspired like I want to be like her too. I want to fully breastfeed my kids too.
The day I knew I was pregnant, I told my self that I want to breastfeed my baby too, at least until 2 years old. I started survey & usha2 the breastpump on the internet. I read so many blogposts about the breastpump & at the end, I came out with two models which are Cimilre f1 & Spectre 9+. These 2 models got so many good reviews & both almost have the same similiarities. After some readings tru websites & ig posts, I finally decided to buy the cimilre f1 instead. I bought the breastpump at Fabulous Mom store at Ulu Kelang. I was about 26weeks pregnant that time. See, excited tak hahaha..
The similar set that I bought minus the milk collector & handsfree.

I get the cimilre f1 set with RM599.00. The set came with storage bottles, coolbag, icepax and the pump itself. The best part is, it has 3 years free warranty service from the shop. So far, I've been using the pump for 14months plus, and never send for service. I want to get the pump for service but first I need to have another backup pump because it takes about a week for the store to service. Mana mungkin ku bisa hidup seminggu tanpa breastpump kan. (Cimilre F1 review deserve another posts)
Before delivered, many people keep remind me yang bersalin tu saaaaakit saaaaangat. Contraction pun saaaaakittt sangaaaaatt. Kena jahit pun laaaaagggiiii sakit. No one ever tell me that breastfeeding part is also sakit. So sakit untuk first time mom. Sakit yang takleh cakap lah. Segala jenis nipple cream daah try. Yang paling best is bepanthen, dia kurangkan rasa sakit tapi sebab chemical tinggi, lama- lama tak pakai pun cream tu. Tahan je sakit tu.. Tapi of kos tak setanding sakit bersalin. Tapi still, bersalin sakit sekali, Breastfeeding (for me) sakit dia last sampai 5bulan lebih jugak lah :((((( Tapi alhamdulillah I tak give up. I kept breastfeed my baby walaupun sakit. Lama-lama sakit pun disappear & bearable.
During my confinement days, I rarely pump. Sebab, every time I tried to pump, rasa sakit ya amat. I just collect milk guna silicone milk collector. Rezaki susu Hayfaa memang murah. Walaupun hanya guna milk collector tapi dapat kumpul susu banyak gila sampai kena beli deep freezer. Hari-hari baju basah sebab susu melimpah tu perkara biasa. Alhamdulillah. Tapi kusangka panas hingga ke petang tapi rupanya ada hujan hikmah di tengah hari. Theres one day, hujung minggu, A, Hayfaa & I went back to Jerteh. Biasanya kalau balik sana, tak buat stok pun sebab susah nak bawak balik Temerloh. So, hujung minggu tu tak tengok langsung keaadaan deep freezer tu sampai lah hari Isnin nak pergi kerja, nak amik susu untuk Hayfaa ke school, to my surprise semua susu ku cair!!!! Allahuakbar menangis I. Stok dalam deep freezer tu kalau tengok balik memang lebih pada cukup untuk stok setahun. Memang sedih yang teramat tapi siapalah kita nak tolak aturan Allah kan. Untuk hari isnin tu, luckily ada several pack dalam peti biasa yang belum susun sebelum nak masuk kan dalam deep freezer. Bermulah hari tu, kais susu pagi minum pagi, kais susu petang minum petang.
I dont really follow any tips and tricks that I found on the net. I just do what I want to do and believe what I want to believe. Till one day, while scrolling ig macam biasa (thankyou instagram!!!!) I met this one comment on fabmom ig saying she got so much new knowledge from breastfeeding group on FB. I straight away open FB and request to join the group. YES. THAT WOMAN WAS RIGHT. SO MANY INFOSSSS THERE. People sharing their stories & experiences also there. The first thing I discover tru the group was how to choose the right size for the shield of the pump. Can you imagine, all this while I was using the wrong size. The sizing is so important in order to express more milk. I was using a 30mm shield for these 14months which actually my size is only 19mm.
Macam biasa, I straight away to Shopee to get the shield. I found the Maymom brand with 19mm size and compatible with my cimilre f1 pump. It costs about Rm 55.00 for one side. I made a payment and it arrived my office the next day. I ordered the shield with wideneck feature & I thought it can fit my Tommee Tippee Wideneck bottle and again, I was wrong! hahah.. The Tommee Tippee bottle is another level of wide. I had to order the 'standard wideneck bottle' for the shiled. As I write this, I am currently waiting for the bottle to arrive so that I can use the shield. Ya Allah seriously, cant waittttttt. Hopefully, I can produce more milk for Hayfaa with these thingss I bought..

Ni separuh. Ada lagi separuh yang kena buang....
I browse Shopee Apps quite frequent (hehehe). I like to buy stuff there too because it was cheap & it has everything I want! Till one day I stumble upon the cimilre handsfree which I never heard before. It was quite pricey (for me) which it costs about RM 79.00 for one side (I bought on Shopee). I googled and read so many reviews before deciding to buy one for me. I bought one because I thought it gonna be easier for me to pump at the office. Turns out, it doesnt suit me. It was bulky under the bra & didnt fit my nipple that it can't be handsfree with me. I think it just me because most of the reviews I read, its all okay and works accordingly. I already gave the handsfree to my Uitm mate, KakTqa :))

So, thats my story for now. The journey wasnt smooth. It is not easy either. But, for sure its worth every time I spent & every cent I withdrawed. I pray that Allah izinkan untuk terus susukan Hayfaa sampai dia 2 tahun. It simply because I just want the best for her. Grow up well babygirl, stay healthy and may you will always be in Allah's rahmah. Mama loves you, sayang.
My firstborn, Hayfaa Khadeeja lovelove
