Medela Swing Electric Breast Pump

 (12 customer reviews)

After my wife gave birth to my daughter at the hospital, she wanted to breast feed and I supported her decision to do so. After a c-section however, they recommended using a breast pump to get the milk to the baby via the bottle. The unit they had at the hospital was a Medela Symphony, and she loved it. The problem is that it costs over $1,200.00 and we could not afford anything near that at the time for home use. After we read many reviews, we decided to give the Medela Swing Breast Pump a try, and overall we are very impressed with it for a single breast unit. The milk output is very similar to the $1200.00 hospital unit, which is great.

Now for the cons that I have read for this product, and a way we found to fix them... The tubing that comes with it causes two undesirable effects. The first issue is that breast milk can back its way into the tubing if you are not careful and can get into the motor, which is bad news all around for many reasons, including contamination...Read more

I LOVE this pump! I used the Medela Symphony in the hospital and thought it was a good pump, but I only used one side at a time so didn't really need the double pump option. The Swing is just as good as the Symphony but for less money. I have an abundance of milk and need to pump for comfort and this pump is comfortable, and doesn't hurt at all! It has a rubber cup which conforms to your breast rather than sucking your nipple up into it. I would HIGHLY recommend this pump to everyone!

This pump is excellent! I used it for 15 months without any problems. I highly recommend this pump to any nursing mom!
