Christoph Puetz asked:

Medela is well known for offering a line of high quality, high performance ****** pumps. Their Swing Pump model with Medela 2 Phase Expression Technology is no exception. This pump has the same technology that is used for hospital ****** pumps. The pump is very effective at pumping ****** milk with ease.

The Medela Swing Pump is designed to pump your milk in such a way that it feels as if your baby is feeding at your ******. (This means the pump is designed to simulate your baby actually feeding rather than feeling like a mechanical pump). The pump has good suction especially for a single pump system.

A Medela pump is comfortable on your *******. The ****** shield is not uncomfortable in any way. This is unlike other brands that feel terrible when you are pumping the milk. The pump is not as fast as one with the double pumps. However, the Swing Pump is still able to pump ****** milk in a relatively short amount of time.

Your Medela Swing Pump will be easy for you to take with you anywhere you need to go. It is in fact so compact that you can even throw it in your purse when you need to be away from home. This pump is so great because it is a breeze to you. In fact it only has four controls that you need to worry about. You can assemble and disassemble this pump for cleaning and use in a matter of seconds.

The pump can be a little noisy when you are pumping milk. You might find it a tad distracting if you are trying to work on something else at the same time. That is one of the only significant downsides to the Medela Swing Pump.

The pump works rather well. Of course it is not as fast and efficient as double pumps or some of the other pumps that are not so portable. However, there really are not many disadvantages to using this pump. It is comfortable and is effective when pumping milk. It is easy to carry around since the pump can be placed in the carrier that comes with the pump kit.

Emilee’s Mom is pregnant #2 asked:

I want to breast fed my daughter and still be able to go to college. Since i will need to pump milk at least twice per week I would like a good electric pump, or some other pump that will get the job done. It has to be $100 or less because my husband and I are both college students. Which pumps worked best for you, and can you provide me with links so I can look at prices and stuff?

Eric Morris asked:

Many new mother choose to rent ****** pumps rather than buy them. ****** pumps can be rented at the hospital where the baby is born by the doctor’s prescription.

Hospital-grade ****** pumps are made of a sturdy mechanical quality and are comparatively large and powerful. They provide enhanced suction and cycling for mothers and infants. The hospital-grade electric ****** pump will be provided on rental basis only when direct nursing at the ****** is not possible during the neonatal period. The concerned physician has to submit documentation for the same.

One of the reasons for renting the hospital grade electric pump is when the mother has been discharged from the hospital, but is still under treatment for postpartum complications which might preclude direct nursing at the ******.

Another reason is when the infant is still hospitalized even after the mother is discharged. Also, in the event that the infant has complications like a congenital neuromotor, oral dysfunction, or any other congenital or neonatal acquired condition then direct nursing at the ****** might not be possible. In such circumstances the physician can provide the necessary documentation for the renting of the hospital-grade ****** pump, provided an over-the-counter pump failed to meet the mother’s needs.

Sometimes, when the mother is receiving any therapy with pharmaceutical agents then that might render her ****** milk unsuitable for infant feeding while in the therapy. Also, if the baby develops a medical condition or requires hospitalization, then nursing might not be allowed on a regular basis. These are a few situations where the mother need not buy a ****** pump but rather rent it from the hospital. The physician then has to provide the requisite documentation along with the treatment authorization request. Detailed documentation of the medical condition as well as the diagnosis and prognosis has to be provided. The physician need to mention the expected length of time the pump might be needed.
