This has been a godsend as it enabled us to keep feeding our daughter breastmilk.
My biggest gripe is that when I use this with batteries it cuts in and out turning itself off and I have to turn in on again. Potentially a faulty unit and not a factor universally.
If buying would recommend getting hands free bustier as the position to hold the pumps on gets tiring.
Although Not very easy to clean though, this product has very strong suction power that does the job very well.
Within 6 months the yellow rubbers needed replacing, can only buy them as part of a kit. On reading other reviews from manufacturer website this is common. When sterilizing we now insert the rubber in the housing and sterilize complete. End of month 7 motor suction power has gone, arranging return.
I highly recommend Medela!! I have used their electric Breast pumps for all three of my children! The parts are easy to assemble, clean and is very comfortable whilst being able to express 100% more milk in a timely manner.
I’m a first time mum and my baby girl latched on in hospital but as it takes a few days for milk supply to come In I had to turn to formula for assistance. Once my milk was in my daughter wouldn’t latch and it was found she had tongue tie. I was desperate to breast feed so I thought it best to pump until her tongue tie was fixed. I really couldn’t of done it without this pump. Powerful, easy to clean and use. I got the bustier so I could have hands free which is a life saver. It’s just such a stress relief. You can even add batteries so you don’t have to be plugged in to one place. I think it’s 100% worth the money. There is no leaks also, I add this because I looked into every type of breast pump before settling on this one and other types seem to leak, not this pump! My midwife even recommended medela as a pump. If your a new mum and really want to breast feed and get your milk supply up this pump is for you. Only downside which is not a bother to me is it’s not a quiet pump but who cares. I want it to express milk and it does just that. FYI to all I am a 40 GG breast which can be difficult to breast feed but I’m doing so much better with medela.
Love my breast pump when I don’t have to use it! It’s good and definitely worth the money in comparison to other expensive options. Medela is used in hospitals so it’s why I chose it.
For all the mums who are considering and for whom money isn’t an object, I would say splash out and go for a hands free slip in your bra pump – your boobs, your baby and your sanity will thank you for it. Treat yourself!
However, this is a really solid option if you’re at the beginning of your BF journey or if you’re an occasional pumper.
I love this pump! Got 4oz in 5 minutes. I bought the double, however this was just a quick pump to empty my boob as baby favours one side! Cant imagine how I much I will get when using as a double! So happy
I am very happy with it. I was using a manual wich was good for expressing eventually but I needed something for every day use. It works really well although it is a bit annoying to clean, but worth it. I spend very little time compared to before.
Very good product and highly recommended
Honestly I can not recommended it enough!
I started with a mastitis during my breastfeeding journal and it saved me.
100% recommended and it will buy it over and over again if I need to
The medela pumps are by far the best out there.
If you are pumping exclusively like I was, this was a no brainier buying the double pump. It obviously halves the time you’re needing to be pumping for and it is a very efficient machine.
Easy to clean and put together.
Great with the medela hands free pumping bra too!
Good pump. Haven’t used any other one so I cannot really compare. I bought it after using Medela’s pump in the hospital. It seems good sturdy built and does what it is supposed to do.
I bough this pump because I really wanted to breastfeed my baby but I really struggled with my first one. My nipples started bleeding after a few days and even though she was latched on properly, it was just pure agony for me and it even got to the point that she was drinking blood with the milk. I bought Tommee Tipee single pump then and to my horror, it nearly ripped my nipple off and was sucking just blood. So after only a week my first daughter was on infant formula. The second time around, I really didn’t want this to happen. I know that Medela pumps are used by many hospitals to feed prematurely born babies, so I knew I wanted this brand. I am now soooo happy I bought this pump. After my baby boy was born, it took less than a week for my nipples to crack and bleed again, so I had to take him off the breasts. I was however able to pump milk without any excessive pain and feed him my milk from the bottle. I have been pumping exclusively for almost four months now using the pump 8 times a day and I just cannot praise it enough. I know everybody is different and it might not work the same for other mums, but I get easily 200 – 250 ml out each time I pump and it only takes 15 minutes to get that amount! My baby is almost 4 months old now and he has not had a single ounce of formula yet! He’s been gaining 0.5 kg a week and he doubled his birth weight by the time he was 2 months old and all that just on breast milk! This would not be possible without this pump, so thank you Medela!
Absolutely love this pump, the double function & great suction makes pumping so much more efficient, & is excellent the way it mimics my baby’s sucking pattern. Has become a lifeline whilst I’ve been in hospital & regularly using every 3-4 hours, easy to clean & out back together.
I only use this pump if I need to express to bottle feed my son if we’re out somewhere for the day. I got the double one as it was on offer, it’s easy to use and clean (with the sterilising bags)
Such an amazing pump. As a mum that is exclusively pumping this double pump saves you time and is really easy to use. Much quieter than the previous Tommee Tippee pump I owned. The suction power is great and I get loads of milk for my little one. I also purchased the easy expression bustier which I recommend as then you’re hands free.
I have to pump every 3 hours. This device has helped but I wish it was easy to change settings as you have to hold the cuts with both hands and have no hands to change things! It’s quite noisy so I turn up the TV when I’m pumping to distract myself. It is easy to clea
Great pump. Easy to use. I purchased the hands free bra to accompany the pump to make life easier. Unfortunately the manual doesn’t state the parts can be put in the steriliser and the parts should be boiled every 24 hours
Helped the wife getting more milk out than she did with her other pump. Awkward to adjust whilst doing both breasts at the same time, wife thinks a hands free pumping bra type garment would help here.
Easy to work in general and is comfortable. Has struggled wife other breast pumps and this one to date has been the easiest and most successful.
Really a good quality product… I got it after 3 months of delivery… should have been got it just after delivery….
initial couple of days will be tricky as it’s not easy for the first time. But then it works great…
Not even sure what else to say. This product is literally perfect. Not a single dislike. It’s worth every single penny. I had bought another pump initially but later switched to this and thank goodness I did. It felt surreal- pain free and extremely comfortable pumping, quiet, expresses out more milk than the pump I previously used and in much less time. I could literally sleep off pumping. That’s how good it is. 5 stars and I very very highly recommended
Absolutely brilliant. I hadn’t heard of Medela before using one of their pumps in hospital. My little boy was premature and unable to latch so when we left hospital we rented a hospital grade Medela Symphony but it proved expensive. Decided to try the Medela Swing in the Black Friday Deal. So happy we did! The suction is just as strong as the Symphony and is battery powered with a belt clip. Expressing was becoming a chore especially in the middle of the night being hooked up to a large electric pump. I bought a handsfree expressing bra too so now can be completely mobile and double pump. Would highly recommend. My only issue was that the description says that it includes a Calma Solitaire which it does not.
Fantastic pump and I’m so happy about the back flow protector but the new style shields are awful, they leak with big breasts and just don’t sit right. I get much better output using this pump, the back flow protector and then using the old style plastic shield piece
