Entry 0007 - How I Stock My EBM

18 July 2008
EBM
10.15 am - 5.5 oz
4.00 pm - 7.5 oz (terlewat pam, banyak lak orang datang bertanya itu ini dari 2.30-4.00pm. segan lak nak cakap 'eh, boleh dtg kejap lagi tak? saya nak pegi mengepam nih'..
7.00 pm - 4.5 oz
10.00 pm - 1 oz
Total -> 18.5 oz

Memula berkecimpung dalam membuat stok EBM nih (for Adam), saya guna Avent Via Cups. Siap beli in 2 sizes lagi tu, 6oz and 9oz. Then I read that we should pack as per our baby consumption at one go. Logik lah kan. Once you warm frozen EBM, it can only last 3-4 hours. Buatnya baby tak larat nak habiskan, tak ke membazir namanya. Then I put 3oz of EBM in the 6oz Via cup. I then realized that was such a waste in space. I did not ulitise the freezer, which somewhat memang penuh dengan other things already. I then opted to use liners.

Turun from freezer for the use on the next day.

I still had Avent liners which I bought during Iman's time back in 2004. Siap beli clip tu sekali. The clip did not help in not letting the milk flow out. Still, it can sip through slowly. Not recommended kalau nak guna while transporting EBM from workplace. Kalau clip then terus masuk freezer, memang okay.

I found out that Mothercare (I bought Avent's liners tu from Mothercare KLCC) doesn't sell Avent's liner anymore. In fact, no liners at all. Cari kat Mom's Care pun takde, JJ pun takde. So I bought online Playtex's 4oz liners. Sib baik tak guna lagi sebab people say for 4oz EBM, better use 8oz liner. Or else, you're gonna have hard time trying to close the opening (in my case, I use rubber-band). That 8oz liners, I bought from a pro-breastfeeding mom, Elin.


My Via cups are safely stored away in the cabinet. Maybe when Adam starts solid nanti, they will come handy.

Note: -
:: Via Cup was bought via online bidding in Malaysian e-Bay.
:: Playtex liner was bought from Elin.
