Medela Swing Breast Pump

I thought it would be a good time to explain some of the great features of the Medela Swing Electric breast pump.

This is the only electric breast pump online, that most closely resembles real breast feeding. It has a uniquely patented 2-phase expression so that it stimulates milk let down and then expresses like a baby sucking.

Here is how you work the breast pump:
Swtich on the
breastpump by pressing the on/off button. The pump will begin pumping in the Stimulation phase. Adjust the vacuum during pumping to your comfort level by pressing the increase (+) or decrease (-) buttons. Once your milk starts to flow or you sense milk ejection, press the letdown button to switch to the Expression Phase. if you do not press the let-down button, the pump will automatically switch to the expression phase after two minutes.
Set your Maximum Comfort Vacuum which is the highest vacuum you can use while still feeling comfortable (this is different for every mother). To find your Maximum Comfort Vacuum increase the vacuum until pumping feels slightly uncomfortable (not painful) and then decrease it slightly.

Research has shown that you will pump more efficiently - meaning you get more milk in less time - when pumping at the Maximum Comfort Vacuum in the Expression Phase using this swing pump.

You can enquire online about ordering this breast pump, and then we will reply to you.
