Really easy to use - wasn't sure if I would need a pump when I was pregnant... but so glad I got it as breastfeeding wasn't as easy as I had hoped and I think I would have exloded without it!

Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant!

There are enough challenges in the early days that mastering or struggling with a breast pump shouldn't be one of them. It's simple to use and effective. What more could you ask?

Sure it's pricey, but my Medela Swing has been invaluable for me during the last 8 months that I've been breastfeeding and now seems remarkably cheap when compared with the cost of buying formula.

I'm sure there are other pumps out there which are cheaper but if you've got the cash to flash I'd highly recommend this as a treat to yourself.

This is a great pump - nearly gave up on expressing when my Avent hand pump made me weep with pain, but the Swing has been a doddle from the word go. It is expensive, but if you're going to use a pump every day then it's worth it for the comfort and ease of use.

I was lucky enough to be given mine by a (close!) friend, it saw her through three babies and is currently on its fifth month with mine. I did get a rupture in the silicone cup that attaches to the breast, but this was quickly easily and cheaply replaced by Medela. Highly recommended all round.

Miles better than anything else I tried (excepting the hospital pump)

Had problems with other pumps - not sure why, but with this one, I am able to regularly pump lots!

It's freedom in a bottle!
