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

 Wonderful for SAHM's July 13, 2008
I really thought this was a wonderful pump for stay at home mom's. I'm not sure how great it would be if you were exclusively pumping during the day while working, but for my periodic uses, I loved it. I usually used it on electric power, since I thought it ate through batteries pretty quickly, but when I did need to use it on battery power (like in the car) it worked well too. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because I felt like it did not have quite as powerful of a suction on battery, but since I was usually plugged in, that wasn't an issue for me. I did use it while on vacation without my child for 5 days, pumping at least 6 times per day, including two 8 hour car trips, and it worked great!
 Stay at home mom July 12, 2008
This pump is the best for a stay at home mom. It's not overly expensive compared to some and the quality can't be beat. Ask any lactation consultant and they will tell you that Medela is the best commercial grade pump you can get. The reason I needed to get a breast pump was for occasional pumping. Because of the portable motor you can actually pump in your car, or even at the movie theatre...(if you really want to...) the point is, it's practical. You can pump and rock your baby at the same time. You can pump and use your other hand to cook. This pump is also great for relieving engorgement.
 Stopped working after 3 months! July 11, 2008
Had this pump not stopped working after 3 months I would have given it 4 stars. But it doesn't deserve it because it was expensive and didn't last!
It don't mean a thing if it IS the Swing... July 8, 2008
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.
Finally found the best pump! June 29, 2008
I've tried everything from a hospital breast pump system (huge! loud!) to a hand pump (useless!) and the Medela Swing is by far the best I've ever used. I'm 100% happy with it. It's highly effective, quiet, easy to use, compact and discreet. The two-phase pumping action (designed to mimic the way a baby nurses) really does help let-down and creates an effective flow without discomfort or sitting around waiting for ages. It's simple and intuitive to use, and very light and easy to transport in the sturdy draw-string bag that comes with it. I'm recommending it to all my friends.
