Baby Products Reviews of Medela Swing Breast Pump
Customer Review: Awesome pump!
Summary: 5 Stars
With my first baby, I borrowed a Medela Pump-in-Style from my sister-in-law and really loved it. Since it wasn't available with my second baby, I wanted to buy a pump, but the Pump-in-Style costs about $250. I was nervous to try the Swing, since you can't return it if you don't like it, but I wasn't disappointed. It works great! I can pump about 5 oz. in ten minutes. It's small, fast, and quiet. It has adjustable suction and two-phase letdown. And you can switch between phases whenever you want to, a feature that I don't think the Pump-in-Style had. I love how compact it is, too. Another reviewer had problems with the power cord staying in, but I've had mine for a few months now and have never had that problem. I think it's every bit as good as the Pump-in-style; the only difference is that it only does one side at a time.Customer Review: great pump for on the go

My Wife Purchased this Pump and below is her Review...
I loved this pump. My job involves a lot of time spent in the car. This pump was perfect for me, because it contains the hose, I was able to fit this comfortable in my shirt and it was still very discrete. It is also very quite, I was also able to talk on the phone hands free and the other person could not hear it. The suction also feels like it empties my milk, therefore I am able to increase milk production while working. The Pump is well worth the money. I had prevously bought an evenflo pump and ended up replacing it twice. Both evenflo pumps broke within 3 weeks of minimal usage (12 times a week). Also, a good thing with this pump it uses a lot of the standard bottles, but the best thing is that it does not need to be attached to a bottle to gain suction.
Customer Review: great value for price

When I left the hospital with my newborn baby girl my milk hadn't come it yet. My baby had lost more than 10% of her weight so they were talking about keeping her there and discharging me unless I was willing to supplement with formula. I cringed at this idea because I wanted to exclusively breast feed. They set me up with a rental for the medela symphony (dual pump) for $70/mo. As soon as I saw the swing pump on amazon for this price I knew it would be a much better deal even though it's a single pump it does the exact same thing for WAY less money. Would DEFINATELY reccomend, awesome product has been a life saver when engorged.
BTW, I supplemented for a day and my milk came in completely due to using this product. If you are considering purchasing it would be wise to do so in my opinion!
Customer Review: It don't mean a thing if it IS the Swing...

I've been lugging around my Pump-n-Style through three babies... until it finally broke. I was turned on to the Swing 'cause it's so compact - and cute - and considering baby #3 is now 10 months old, I thought the Swing would be a wise buy, because I'm only pumping a few times a week. WRONG!!! Give me back my Pump-n-Style! The Swing takes at least 3x as long - w/ the Pump-n-Style I'm able to set up, pump both breasts and put everything back in the bag w/in 10 minutes. The Swing takes AT LEAST half an hour - not good when I only get 30 minutes for a lunch break @ work.... What's worse is I just don't get as much milk with the Swing: and my breasts are engorged again much sooner. The "Advanced" option makes absolutely no difference. I'm taking back the Swing and getting another Pump-n-Style.Customer Review: Awesome pump if used correctly
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this pump because I wanted to increase my milk supply and the hand pump was difficult and painful to use. This was very easy to put together and it works amazingly, as long as you clean it properly EVERY TIME and leave the pump running after you've finished for about 2-3 minutes. After about a month, I started getting condensation in the tubing every time I pumped, and then a few weeks later I started getting some milk in the tubing. After I cleaned it as the instructions say, I started leaving the pump running with only the tubing attached for a few minutes after each pumping session, and have not had any problems since. I love that it is comfortable and you can adjust the suction as well as the fact that it can be plugged in or operate on batteries. WORTH EVERY PENNY!
