Hi breastfeeding mommies, does anyone of you know if it is okay to take evening primrose oil while breastfeeding? I have one bottle going to expire. I recall gynae said dun take during pregnancy, so I didn't think of taking it so far while I continue to partially breastfeed. DS is 1yo now. Don't want to waste the bottle of EPO. :moneyflies:

EPO is ok during breastfeeding. In fact, you may find it helps reduce sore nipples associated with menstruation (which makes breastfeeding uncomfortable).

Thank you MummyThreeStreams for your advice. Wow you sleep late or woke up to latch at 2+ am?

Baby has a stuffy nose so kept waking up last night!

MummyThreeStreams, hope baby recovers quickly. Tried elevating his head a little?


Breastfeeding mommies, it is World Breastfeeding Week this week. Congrats for being a great mommy by giving the best nutrition to your baby! :rahrah:

Hi fellow breastfeeding mummies,


I intend to purchase a new breast pump to replace my current one. I was recommended the Medela Pump In Style Advanced.

Can any of the mummies using the above model provide any feedback? How is it comparable to the Medela Freestyle??

Appreciate the help. Thanks in advance.

autumnbronze, I used Freestyle so cannot give first hand experience on PISA. When I was buying my set the promoter told me the motor functions are similar. So in the end I bought Freestyle because easier to lug around in any other bag. But I did hear of people who tried both and say PISA suction is stronger? You might want to validate further on that fact.

Thanks for your feedback patntee


Yes, I have been told by at least 3 users that the PISA suction power is strong.

Hence, I bought the PISA shoulder bag version.

hello comrades, currently still bfing dd, planning to stop next year when she turns 3 and i go back to work. Bfing is the best decision I’ve ever and will ever make, and I seriously think that it was what helped me out of my postnatal blues.


As I type, she’s happily latched on.
