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.

Customer Reviews

Awesome pump if used correctly by Lauren Marion
I bought this pump because I wanted to increase my milk supply and the hand pump was difficult and painful to use. This was very easy to put together and it works amazingly, as long as you clean it properly EVERY TIME and leave the pump running after you’ve finished for about 2-3 minutes. After about a month, I started getting condensation in the tubing every time I pumped, and then a few weeks later I started getting some milk in the tubing. After I cleaned it as the instructions say, I started leaving the pump running with only the tubing attached for a few minutes after each pumping session, and have not had any problems since. I love that it is comfortable and you can adjust the suction as well as the fact that it can be plugged in or operate on batteries. WORTH EVERY PENNY!

I love this pump! by Sarah Sharp
I’d been pumping daily with my Medela Harmony hand pump, and my hands and wrists were killing me. I dreaded pumping because it hurt and took a long time to get a small amount. When my Swing arrived today, I pumped right away… and I LOVE IT! It’s so comfortable to use, both for my hands and my breasts (the soft breast shield is really great). I also really like that I can be portable with this, thanks to the battery power option and the belt clip on the motor. To be totally hands-free, I just cut two slits in a tube top and slide the flange through. Two big thumbs up for this compact and comfy little pump!

Motor defective right out of the box by J. Baughman
I followed the instructions perfectly, pushed the ON button…..and nothing happened. The green light flashed off and on but there was NO motor sound and no suction at all. I hate to get defective products, especially from supposedly reputable companies. They are sending a new motor, but I will forever expect it to stop working at any moment because of this horrible first impression.

And the AC adaptor plug comes out SO easy if it’s pulled on or jiggled in the slightest, like others have complained about in their reviews.

To produce milk efficiently, we are supposed to be relaxed and without stress to help our body pump effectively, and this pump has already caused me nothing but annoyance and stress. I’ll never recommend Medela products just for the fact that I would be embarrassed to rave about it and then the person pull theirs out of the box BROKE.

Great choice by Eduardo A. Carrasco
Just as i expected. my wife is very please with this pump, and my baby girl too!
