Refurbished mother’s room

Mother’s room is the official name for the room provided by the company I work with for mothers who wishes to express breastmilk at the office. Recently it’s been refurbished, tastefully at that, thanks to the room focal point who had been persistent in asking and asking again for the budget. The number of cubicles (separated by curtains) was increased from 3 to 4 (due to increased number of users). New furnitures (bearing the IKEA lables) and equipments were procured, including a bigger fridge-freezer, a steam sterilizer, LAN points for those who likes to multitask, and – get this, a hospital grade Medela Lactina! Mothers who are interested to use this only needs to purchase the individual kit which consists of the breastshield funnel, tubings, valves, and bottles. Looks like I can put my plan to purchase a Pump-In-Style for the next baby on hold. Yesterday, the vendor came to show how to install and use the Medela Lactina. I asked how much it was, and the answer was - RM3800, and that’s after discount (mahalnya). Anyway, the pretty room and the complete facilities have motivated me to keep on pumping, eventhough I don’t get much anymore nowadays.


I know there’s other blogs out there who talks more about breastfeeding, but just in case, I’d just like to mention here that it is possible to continue breastfeeding even if we work outside the home fulltime. All you need is a breastpump, a cooler bag, a good coolant (if the office don’t have a fridge), and the will and basic knowhow.
