breast pump

after a long search and wait, i finally got the avent iq isis duo breast pump yesterday. had been searching on different brands of breast pump and trying to get feedback on them. eventually still decided to get the avent breast pump even though its expensive. although meleda is very popular and almost all my friends are using it but what they got is the mini set, not what i wanted given if i get it. i would like to get the pis adv version which will cost around the same as the avent set.

since darling is the one paying for it, i show him both avent iq isis duo and meleda pis adv set during the takashimaya baby's fair in march. without much thinking, he said buy the avent set since we intend to get the milk bottle, steriliser from avent. at the fair, with the explaination from the sale person we decided to get the whole series of the avent iq which includes breast pump, steriliser and food warmer. maybe we are being con by the sale person into believing its the best products and set our mind for it. 

we didn't get it then cos its still very early for us to buy and also don't wish to have the warrenty start running then when we don't use. waiting patiently for all sort of sales to come and went round trying to compare prices. i had come to a conclusion. most places will have a 20% on the steriliser when there is a sale so no hurry in getting. food warmer, its already at a sale price now so the chance of getting it cheaper might not be there so no hurry as well. lastly, its the breast pump most expensive item among them. its at nett price at all places even when they have sale.

i guess my patient paid off. when we were at OG yesterday, i saw the 20% discount sign is up for avent products. so i got hold of one of the staff and get her to check if the discount apply to the breast pump too. the moment her answer is yes, i told her, can you confirm? i will want the set if there is a discount, if not i'm not buying. she bought the set to cashier to confirm the price. and yes, there is a discount. i told darling, we are not going to wait anymore. its very hard to get discount off the breast pump, better grab it now. without any hesitation, we paid for it at the cashier.

i'm so happy with the purchase, the savings on the breast pump can actually paid for the steriliser
