I think it is fair to say that I was prepared and planned for Aleyna's birth. I spent the last 2 months of my pregnancy nesting, organising, obsessing, much to my husband's delight as I am normally a little slovenly!!
However nothing could have prepared us for Aleyna spending 2 weeks in intensive care.
I had already bought the Medela Electric breastpump, I knew I would be going back to work after a short time and I knew if at all possible that I wanted to breastfeed.
When my milk had still not come in 5 days after Aleyna's birth (she was on a serum drip in the incubator so no milk for her at that stage), with a little help from the midwife I decided to focus on getting my milk supply going in order to give her the best start if and when she was able to take milk. This focus kept me going but I can honestly say that the Medela ...
I made sure that when I had my first baby I got a good breastpump so that I could not only enjoy breastfeeding my litle one, I could also ahv some time off while someone else fed my son but he still had breastmilk.
This pump is a nice size and doesnt feel uncomfortable and you can adjust the strength. I found in the morning I was able to express more and I didnt use the strength of the pump to get some milk The importance of pumping while feeding is that it tricks your body into believing you are feeding baby and you therefore produce more milk.
I kept this pump and used it again recently for my second child. the pump is durable and if you do need any assistance the customer service at medela is very good.

When my baby was born 5 months ago, we quickly found out that he wasn't taking enough breast milk from me - bless him, he was falling asleep before he had a chance to fill his tummy. So, my midwife suggested that I use a breastpump to express some milk off, and that I give him 20 ml in a small cup towards the end of every feed.
Now I had bought a manual breastpump when my daughter was a baby, but to be honest with you, I'd never really got on with it. I found it quite uncomfortable on my breast, and it really made my hand ache trying to work the thing! So, I decided to look into the various options available for an electric breastpump.
I eventually settled on the Medela Mini 'Electric breastpump, which I bought for £50 from Boots.
When I got the pump home, I unpacked it (nicely packaged) and popped the non-motorised bits ...
