The Swing's compact size makes it easy to pump wherever you are. View larger. | Two-Phase Expression Technology
The Swing features two-phase expression technology, an advanced pumping pattern that mimics a baby's natural nursing rhythm. This system works in two modes: the simulation mode and the expression mode. The simulation mode simulates your baby's initial rapid sucking to start your milk flowing, while the expression mode simulates your baby's slower, deeper suckling to express your milk gently yet efficiently. These modes work together to make pumping a quick and painless process. Comfortable and Convenient
Compact enough to easily fit in your purse, this pump is both safe and comfortable to use, whether you're home, at work, or traveling. The Swing includes many features that help make pumping a positive experience. First, the one touch let down button lets you start pumping immediately, and results in faster milk flow. The included massaging SoftFit breast shield provide exceptional comfort, and the convenient, compact size of the pump lets you place it on a table top, or attach it to the belt clip or included shoulder/neck strap. You can even store it in your purse, briefcase or the included carrying bag for pumping on the go. Additionally, the adjustable vacuum and speed allows for customized pumping. When it comes to safety, the 100 percent Bisphenol-A (BPA) free Swing ensures a hygienic pumping experience and fresh, chemical-free milk for your baby. It also comes with two durable plastic storage containers and lids for sanitary storage of breast milk. About Medela

 Best Pump December 31, 2008
A. Murray (New Hampshire)
I received a different pump at my baby shower and couldn't get a drop of milk. I thought it was me. I then ordered this pump after using the manual pump provided by the hospital..which was a real workout. This pump is AMAZING. I nursed for 3 months and pumped for 6. I have 10.5 cubit feet of freezer space filled with milk. And the pump is still going strong. I just passed it on to my sister, in fact. I'm so thankful for this pump. It comes with a nice nylon bag and takes 4 AA batteries for on the go. Which is amazing because I once left on vacation without the AC adapter. Wonderful product.
 Very disappointed December 14, 2008
S. Maul (New York)
I felt I needed to write a review for this item because I couldn't believe that it is rated 4 stars! Maybe I was just expecting to much from a breast pump? As a first time mom, I chose this pump because of price and I only planned on using it occasionally. I was very disappointed when I finally got to use it. Like others said, the cord unplugs very easily, which is a hassle. Also I was only able to pump a few ounces at a time. On the plus side, the design itself is nice, attractive and easy to use, however the results I had with it were very disappointing. I really wish I would have invested in a better, more expensive one. I am now pregnant with #2 and I am looking at other pumps, wishing I wouldn't have bought this one. I hope this helps
Pumped for all 3 of my kids...I Like this pump! December 10, 2008

I have had to pump exclusively with all 3 of my children due to many reason because I still wanted them to get breastmilk. With my first and second child I used the Avent Iris handpump and I liked it. But just so you know I had bought a Medela Pump In Style $300 pump and hated it first (felt like it sucked my nipples off, it actually hurt). By the time I had my 3 child (who is now 4 months old) my nipples were to big to fit the Avent Iris anymore. So I bought the Medela Harmony handpump since I could buy bigger breastshields to fit my breasts. I like it as well. I wanted an electric pump because I could do more at time. It takes me 30 minutes (that includes the whole process start to finish)to pump with the Harmony pump. And now that I have the Swing it takes 20 minutes. I know a lot about pumping since that is the only way all of my children have been fed breastmilk.
The Swing Pump is very nice since you can adjust the amount of suction to your liking. I does not hurt like all the Medical Grade ones I have tried and bought. It is not as noisy as some have suggested. I makes the same amount of noise that any electric pump makes. And the only reason that milk gets sucked up in the tubing is if the white membrane sticks and doesn't let the milk drop into the bottle (so you have to help it not stick by manually pulling the flap open a few times until the milk flows by itself). And that can be a reason why the suction is not as good as well (the membrane may be worn out and needs replaceing). I have had to talk with many lactation nurses and I use Olive Oil on my nipples before I pump so that it doesn't irretate my nipples when pumping (makes it smoother not as rough). I also massage my breasts as I pump. This is a MAJOR reason why some women can not produce as much when they pump. If you use the "C" method of holding your breast to massage them(or any method you find comfortable, it may require a few different ways)you will get a lot more milk in a lot less time. I produce more milk than many women who nurse exclusively. I know this is because of two reasons, I drink a ton of water and I massage my breasts while pumping. I pump about 40 ounces a day. As for the power cord falling out, I have not had this problem. The cord does come out of the bottom and gravity does exist so use tape to hold the cord in place if you have that problem. Also another quick note, I can pump and type on my computer at the same time even when I am massaging my breast. Get a tall bottle to pump into so you can prop it on your leg and use one hand to massage and the other is free to do whatever. Or use an old tube top, cut a small slit in it and it will hold the bottle in place will you pump.
This Pump is well worth the money if you want an electric pump. If you get the hang of pumping it can be quick, easy and painless.
I love this pump November 23, 2008
Brandee S. (Fort Hood, Texas USA)
I am a SAHM, so I don't need a duel pump. This pump works very well for the occasional pumping I need. It is very comfortable and easy to use...a little bit noisy, but not too bad. I strongly recommend it!

I am still nursing my 10 month old and pump a bottle or two a day. This pump still has great suction, just as good as when I got it 8 months ago. The bottles were okay for feeding, sometimes they'd leak, but now that my son uses a cup I find the bottles work very well for storage - They are a great BPA-free alternative to glass. The cheap hand operated pumps I've had are crappy and fall apart - plus I was always afraid to wash them in hot water, because god knows what they're made out of that might leach into the milk.
