Medela Swing Breast Pump

Medela Swing Breast Pump

Container Stand Prevents Spilled Milk

The pump includes a container stand.  This is a great feature and helps avoid spills.  You can place the bottle into the container stand after you have finished pumping or while you are changing to the other breast.  The bottle can easily tip over if it isn’t placed in the container stand and can cause you to spill the milk.

Lacks Cooler and Ice Pack to Keep Milk Cool

Medela Swing Breast Pump lacks a carrying case to store expressed breast milk.  If you plan on pumping while you are away from your baby for an extended period of time, then you would have to purchase a cooler and ice pack to store your milk so that it doesn’t spoil.

The following items are included the Medela Swing Breast Pump:

  • 2 Collection Containers and Lids
  • 1 Container Stand
  • 1 Valve
  • 3 Membranes
  • 1 SoftFit Breast Shield
  • Carrying Bag

    I have heard very good things about this breast pump. I used an advent one {also good} and for some reason kept it around after my second was born. 8 years later, I’m glad I kept it as I ended up using it again!

      Susan thank you for sharing your success story with the Advent breast pump. I used the Medela Pump in Style.

      Yes, they have come a long way even since I purchased a cheap one with my daughter in ’96.

    I used a Medela pump – I just can’t recall which model. I love the container stand to prevent spilled milk. I spilled once – heartbreaking!

      Ouch, I accidentally spilled milk when I was transferring it from my pumped milk to the bottles that I fixed for my son each evening. I thought I put in a drop in liner and started pouring away. Then I noticed milk all over the counter and floor. Thankfully, even after a spill I had plenty of milk left for his bottles the next day.

    I still use the cooler and ice pack that my medela pack came with. So that’s one of the things that’s a bit of a bummer here. But really great, thorough review.

      That cooler is nice because it will hold a small amount of drinks and it isn’t too heavy to carry around. I still have mine as well but haven’t thought to use the cooler to carry my toddler’s drinks in when going to the park or pool.
