dont have to wry about the milk supply. as long as you r determind to bf, supply will comes in. as ing, just keep on latching your baby.. for me, i cant latch on, so my pathetic supply only comes in on the 5th day.. my gynae said is very good alrdy cos i only able to latch on dear son once (on the 1st day using nipple shield).

just give whatever you have. some mothers gave up cos of the pathetic supply. but for me, though i could only give dear son few breast milk per day (sometimes even once a day =( ) but i just continue to pump until the last drip. =)

ya man i agree with apollo..never give up..drink lots of papaya fish soup...and the more u latch on/pump the more the milk and naturally stabilised.

I also got the same thinking as you when i was pregnant...as 350 also not say cheap that kind. but in the end i bought it. Lucky i bought..as after give birth no time to go out . then sometimes need to pump out the exess also. No worries initailly sure got milk one...is only how long it persist.

Btw, when is your due date...as you have to take in consideration the warranty too. if you just pregnant...and you buying it now...warranty starts, by then the waranty might run out.. and if anything spoil then cannot repair free of charge. (afterall is still machine)

as for ameda ..hmm...not sure the price diff from usa and here is only abt 30 so no diff ...

as for the avent one it is definitely cheap than above but are they good ?

i personally think ameda is ok and worth the price as it comes with dual pump unlike pigeon.
As for medela, if u can get it at 500..is worth it..as the higher end ones which cost 799 is also good and come with chic bag, unlike ameda which doesn't. (but is not a problem to me, as i got a mphosis netted bag which comes with a black pouch and it fits nicely for my ameda...and i use ziplog bag to put my sterlised funnel.

yap agree, the price of Ameda is lower than Medela. I use rechargable battery for my ameda, hence lighter than bringing my power adpater to office.
