New pump?

Urgh! I should have really gotten a new breastmilk pump long ago and it would have saved me from being so indecisive now. Yes, my pump seems to be having some problems again. Initially it was the power cord adaptor that was faulty... changed that... and yes, changed a few adaptor already so i thought that this one will be staying for good. But recently it is starting to show signs of being "worn out". So I thought that perhaps just get a new adaptor and it will solve the problem. Then come problem no 2. I have 3 fennels. 2 from Gaby's day and 1 that came when I bought the 2nd pump. Some time ago, don't know why, but one of the old fennels didn't seem to "suck" well. I tried to investigate to find out wat's wrong with it but can't seem to detect any faults. So I put it away and just settle with 2 fennels. Then... some months ago, one of the 2 remaining fennels lost it's suction too! I really dun know how on earth the fennels can lose its suction. I couldn't detect any cracks on it. Ok, fine, I just have to use that one and only fennel. And know wat? this afternoon, while pumping halfway, my one and only fennel suddenly lost its grip! I almost cried! So keeping my fingers crosses, I took out one of the old fennel and THANKFULLY, it works fine, though the suction is not that strong, but still managed to work alright.

So now i am in a dilema again. Should I go ahead and get a new pump? No, I dun think i would stop expressing my milk for Alexius. Dr P has advised that so long as I supplement Alexius with some formula, its fine if I still give him breastmilk. There may not be enough iron in my milk, therefore, so long as I supplement him with some iron intake from formula, it'll be fine.

So, should I just go and get a cheapo pump or buy a second hand one or wait till my current one die first? Urgh!
