It's just nurse-supplement for Mateo and me! We were actually forced into this situation because I can't use my Avent pump anymore.

The original white valve of my pump got a tear on it a few weeks ago and it keeps on detaching itself after a few seconds of pumping. The pump comes with a spare valve and I've been using it since then. Stupid me, I lost the new valve when I disassembled the pump and sterilised it last week. I tried using the old valve but the pumping sessions elicit a lot of curse words from me. What used to be 15-20 minutes of pumping has stretched to 30-45 minutes because I keep on attaching the valve again. So I gave up pumping. I didn't think it would be a blessing in disguise.

Mateo has been mostly feeding directly from me since I stopped pumping. Yey! I didn't realize pumping my milk has been preventing me from directly breastfeeding. Without any other means of giving Mateo breastmilk, I was forced to put him to my breast at every chance I get. Now, I really think he's getting more breastmilk and I think my milk supply is slowly increasing. Still not enough to go pure though, he would still get frustrated at times and I would succumb and give him formula. Wawa naman e, parang gutom na gutom. Hehe!

So I am retiring my pump now. I could buy a new valve and my pump would be as good as new but I am happier feeding Mateo now. Anybody who wants it, I would be willing to give it for a really cheap price, just let me know by leaving a comment or by email
