Shopping Advice

We are back in Malaysia for various reasons. Am so loving it and can't wait for my sentence in Mumbai to be over. Needless to say, one of the first two things I could think of upon arrival was nasi lemak and shopping. However, being a recent first time parent, shopping revolved around getting stuff for our daughter. So we decided to visit Baby Land in PJ in search for some baby food since we have just started Aleeshya on solids.

There we were getting baby food as I passed a couple (of soon to be parents) getting advice from the shop assistant on the Phillips Avent Breast Pump. Of course, me being me, I just couldn't help myself but stop and give my two bit worth of advice on it. After all, I felt obligated to say something after all the problems we had with it, especially after the manufacturer refused to honour the warranty citing mishandling of the equipment on our part. Nonetheless, I think I was fair to Phillips as I suggested to the couple that they should have someone teach them how to use the pump properly lest they end up having the same issues with both the pump and the manufacturer as we did.

We had recommended that they should rent the Madella Lactina from Mamalink if they wanted to have a dependable breast pump machine. The would be mother was so excited that she immediately called them up and made an appointment to visit them that very day itself. While we never did bother to know who they were, we felt truly happy that we had helped reduce the stress and anxiety of that couple. After all, expressing milk is extremely stressful, filled with a roller coaster ride of emotions for the mother and for the father too as he finds ways to be emotionally supportive to his wife.
