Medela Swing Electric Breast Pump with 2 Phase Cycling

Pros: fast pumping, compact, quick and easy to use, multi-speed

Cons: Can't handle being dropped several times.

The Bottom Line: Expensive, but well worth the price, because other pumps can't do the job.

Review: I got the Medela pump after using a much cheaper pump that didn't do anything. I did not want to buy one that was so expensive, but I am a single mom that works full time, so I needed something that worked well. The package included a pump,...

Pros: Compact, fairly quiet, very comfy.

Cons: A bit more money that I would have liked to spend.

The Bottom Line: Worth the money

Pros: works very well

Cons: price

The Bottom Line: excellent product

Review: I have researched a lot of breast pumps before I had my son and everyone seem to have great things to say about Medela. Being a first time mom I was relying on the experience of others so I went with their recommendation and purchased the Swing. I...

Pros: Efficient pump, small size, lightweight, BPA-free

Cons: None so far.

The Bottom Line: Get it if you plan to pump occasionally and want something compact and good quality.

Review: I've been using this pump for 2.5 months since my firstborn arrived. I also used a hospital grade pump (the Symphony) for a few weeks, so I can compare them side-by-side. The Swing is a great buy for moms who plan to breastfeed most of the time, but...

Pros: Easy to use. Electric instead of manual, good price range.

Cons: Wouldn't be good for full time pumping.

The Bottom Line: Go for it, splurge for yourself, you deserve it. The less time spent pumping the more time with your new addition.

Review: I bought this pump after my second child was born. After using a manual one with my first child I knew I couldn't do that again. I needed something for occasional pumping and this worked perfect. Was very easy to use and not having to pump myself...
