Alhamdulillah work has been ok for the past 3 weeks although i felt like i was a lil bit karat in terms of reporting but everything was ok in a bit. There's no real major breakdown hence i do have time to pump every 3-4 hours. Over the 8-9 hours of work, i manage to pump twice at 10min per session. If i have nothing much to do I'll pump extra 10minutes just for the fun of having the 2nd let down and getting the B emptied better.
So lets see what i have here for an efficient session of Bpumping:
Medela Freestyle - all fully charged @ home
Nozzle & Bottle - sterilized @ home
Large Ziplock - to store the nozzle & bottle & dumped into the fridge in between sessions
Cooler bag - with the blue cooler in it. Stored in the the office freezer for the ebm.
Ebm plastic storage - Jingle jungle brand, double zipper, bought huge bulk of it from the last parenthood expo. Awesome investment.
Marker - to label the plastic storage. I usually write "Name, Date, & ?oz"
So where do i pump?
I sometime use the surau which I try to avoid at peak solat time. There's another small server room but i try to avoid it too since it's kinda dusty as ppl barely go in there. So I usually use the huge meeting/training room at the back of my control room where i can have a lil bit of privacy since the room is usually not occupied and can be locked. Pump at my work desk? Lets just not go there coz it is unimaginable to do that in a land of men. Takot! hahaha they are like tigers i iz scared :P:P:P
For a non interrupted work, i will bring over all related paperwork together with 2 work phones so I'd be reachable at all time including the new awesome LTR. The best part of the meeting/training room is that they have the exact computers on my work desk so that i can see my system if i needed to even when I'm away from the official desk. The only thing not operatable are the alarms and controls. So if there's tripping I am dead. Well not really dead but engorged like hell and worse come to worse i have the nursing pad to soak it all up and end up getting high temperature. :( Buuuuutt so far Alhamdulillah no such drama, and it won't hurt if i pump only 10 minutes in between. Getting the right timing is all that matter.
I guess work and pumping is no more a problem nowadays. I used to do it alone last time but now everyone's doing it. It's so good to know that everyone is finally aware of how important breastfeeding are. Even my guy work colleague understands what we mommies are doing (although ada yg buat lawak "nak pegi mana tu Lana??" :P:P lagi mau tanya daaa).
So Lily, this is all for you darling. Muahxxoxoxo.
