Medela Mini Electric Breast Pump

Advantages: Quick, convenient, different speeds for different stages
Disadvantages: Noisy!!

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 breast pump, 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 ...

Review of Medela Mini Electric Breast Pump

Medela Mini Electric

Advantages: easy for working mums expressing - stopped me getting RSI
Disadvantages: the noise

i really could not have survived without my medela mini electric. Which i bought from the local thuiszorg shop.. with a discount (as i joined their club to cut on costs) for about 35 euros. As i was exclusively breastfeeding my son even when he was at daycare (aged 3 months to 9 months) i started with a manual pump but found i was developing RSI from the repetitive movement. I had originally rented the larger (less portable) solution when i had problems lactating when my son was born. That was really expensive and too bulky to carry around but this is compact and easy to use (didn't use batteries much as they became empty quickly) and fit easily into my small work bag so i didnt feel too obvious carrying it to work. The guarantee on it indicates it's covered only for a couple of months use.. but as i said i used it for 6 months ...

Feeder Provide Food For Thought

Advantages: Britpop's best
Disadvantages: There are 3 Poor-Quality songs.

Background: Silent Cry is Welsh band Feeder's long-awaited album; following the hugely successful 2005 release "Pushing the Senses", which received mixed critical responses. The Guardian described the album as a "kind of emotional aural soup that will baffle the spikier members of their original punky fan base", whereas Q Magazine thought that the album would "Finally establish Feeder as major league players". I think the latter was definitely the more accurate review - as the album ended up at number 2 in the album charts; bettered only by Athlete's "Tourist". Nevertheless, this album seems to be a stepping-stone to success for the three-piece band; although admittedly I doubt that this album will surpass the sales of Coldplay's "Viva La Vida" to clinch Feeder's first ever No.1. Feeder have recorded an album that is ...
