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.

Baby Products Reviews of Medela Swing Breast Pump
Customer Review: Great and portable pump
Summary: 5 Stars
I read all the reviews on here before buying my Medela Swing breast pump. First off, I bought it initially for occasional use. I was going to stop pumping on return to work after being off for 5 months. I had some periods where breastfeeding was getting rather rocky for me and my son, and this pump got us through that time quite well. Now that I have been back to work for over 2 months, I use this pump 3 times a day every day except on the weekends, when I only use it twice (normally).
Great things about it - it's small. It is very portable. It only needs 4 AA batteries and runs for quite a while on those batteries. You can easily get probably 10 pumpings on those batteries. I pump both sides so it being single sided makes this take longer - but it's so much cheaper than the other Medela pumps and with the same good pumping action and quiet noise level. It still only takes me 20 - 25 minutes to pump 7-8 ounces. I do breast compressions to help this go faster but it's probably not really necessary. The pump has good suction, and I use it on the top level.
I have not noticed any suction loss from this pump. I have no problem with milk supply as long a I drink enough water during the day. When my son was born, he was hospitalized at another hospital pretty far from our home for 19 days. So, I used the Medela Symphony rental pump from the hospital. This developed a great milk supply for me. I don't think this pump would be one to get a milk supply going from the get-go if you have a baby who you must pump for (for whatever reason). But - that's not what it's designed to do.
I have accidentally dropped it in its bag on concrete twice...no problems. I have taken it and pumped using the battery function many times - both on commercial airliners and in a company airplane (small turboprop as I am a pilot and work at an aviation company). I took it all around two day-long business aviation conventions. I've pumped with it sitting in a van while taking a break from doing maintenance on a large jet airliner. So, you can tell from all this that it's so portable and convenient for a hard-working mom to use.
The only thing is that it's gotten maybe a bit louder over the 5 months I've owned it. But, it hasn't seemed to affect the suction. You get tired of the noise it makes but hey, any pump is going to make noise. Overall, it was a great purchase and a good decision.
UPDATE: I had some issues with my pump with the adapter seeming like it would get loose and cause the pump to repeatedly stop pumping and having to be reset. I contacted Medela, and they sent me first a new adapter to isolate the problem, then an entirely new pump since I was still within the 1 year warranty period. I have to say that their customer service is great! Make sure you do get a new pump though from an authorized retailer so you get the full warranty in case that happens with your pump.
