I must admit that the Singapore Breastfeeding support group is a wonderful community of caring counsellors. I was an anxious mother trying to breastfeed my baby 7 years ago and I would always call them for help and advice.

They were always very willing to listen to me and offer an advice or at times, even just a listening hear. Different ple would counsel me at different times and most of them work from home - on volunteer basis. But they were great, really.

In case, I did not thank you enough, thanks again you all for helping me pull through the beautiful 2.5 years of breastfeeding my boy. :)

I have Mini Electric Medela pump and its quite good. I borrowed a Avent manual pump and found it useless and too much hard work having to manually pump. It might be alright depending on how often you are going to use it. I rarely use mine. I bought it when I had mastitis and needed to keep expressing all the time. If I had my time again I would hire one of the heavy duty ones from the ABA.

Thank u, BMSG counsellor for the friendly advice and kind words. I was at the verge of tears when baby refuse to feed well due to jaundice. The sharing of personal experience is very helpful and better than giving std advice that stressed me out more. Thank u!

I wish I had known about this line earlier. I almost gave up breastfeeding and gone through hard period after delivery of my first born.

Dearest mummies,

I'm doing my masters dissertation, a health promotion topic on infant nutrition, in particular, understanding mothers' decisions to breastfeed.

I'll be grateful if you could spare a few moments to answer my survey questionnaire at this link,
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1rOh...MaugI/viewform

Every response counts and will aid me greatly in writing my project.

Thanking you in advance!

Love,
Heather
