Medela Swing Electric Breast Pump
RRP $359 available fromwww.Breastmates.co.nz
The Medela Swing Breast Pump is an electric breast pump that is designed to mimic a baby's actual nursing. Phase 1, the stimulation phase, is a rapid pumping rhythm to get your milk flowing. Phase 2, the expression phase, is a slower pumping rhythm for gentle and efficient expression.
What it comes with: Electric breast pump, two collection containers and lids, container stand, valve, three membranes, SoftFit breastshield, carry bag, breastfeeding information guide, tubing, AC adapter, battery power option,
neck/shoulder strap.
The good bits: Our first impressions were that it was quiet, attractive, and portable. The SoftFit breast shield was very comfortable, which meant there was no initial "pinch" on the nipple when you start to use it. The two phases of suction are a clever idea, and timing was great. While it is sucking, you can adjust the vacuum levels for your own comfort and it somehow feels gentle, so you can relax when you're using it.
The tricky bits: Having to clean the tubes can be a little difficult - never let breastmilk dry in them, or you'll find it hard to get it out! The bag that you can store the product in is fine, but given the price, you'll want to protect it from damage, so we would recommend getting a more robust bag or box to store it in.
Bottom line: The Medela Swing breast pump is attractive, portable, and comfortable. It works very well and is an affordable home and away option out of the Medela range.
