When I was pregnant, I was undecided between Avent or Medela. After a quick survey and asking my mummy friends, I've decided to purchase Medela Swing, a single electric pump. Was tempted to get Freestyle which is an electric double pump but it was so darn expensive at around RM2,000!
Thank God I made the right decision. I love my Medela Swing to bits and pieces. The pump has been following me everywhere - to work, to the shopping malls, to other people's house. Yes, I've been pumping very diligently for my little milk guzzler at home.
What I love about Medela Swing.
- The 2-phase expression is absolutely wonderful! It mimics the sucking of a baby to stimulate more milk production.
- It is quiet so the whole world won't know that I'm pumping.
- It's portable and can I can opt to use batteries or electric. Perfect for full-time working mums like me who is always on the go.
- Simple to use, wash, and assemble.
- You have an option to convert it into a double-pump. DIY yourself and refer to the Youtube video. It's very simple :)
What I don't like about Medela Swing - I occasionally have the problem of backflow of milk into the tube back into the motor! Grrr ~ So inconvenient to wash. There's this one time it was so bad my tubing had mold! Yuck
Alternatively, drop by to Enjoy Breastfeeding where you are allowed to try the pumps before deciding on which on which suits you best.
