There are so many things I love about this pump, having used a bog standard one with my pregnancy with Archie; being able to sit down where-ever I want is great, I haven't yet bothered to use the mains adapter at all! I love the 2-phase expression technology; it starts with quick, short sucks to prep the breast so that when milk starts being expressed, you can gain the maximum amount in the shortest amount of time. As a Mum of two, time is something I don't find myself with alot of and I'd probably never get the opportunity to pump if I couldn't do it without moving around; it's so easy to clip the unit to my jeans, fasten the pump (I use my nursing bra and vest to secure it) and make my toddler lunch (or glamorously monitor toilet runs) at the same time.

VERDICT_

As someone whose able to pump as and when they please (I breastfeed the majority of the time), the Swing is fantastic. It's quick and efficient, super comfortable to use and does the job. For someone who was exclusively expressing, I'd highly recommend the Swing Maxi double pump, but for us, the single is fine. The Swing also comes with a calma teat, which is made to mimic a Mother's nipple, so baby is able to feed the same way they would at the breast without nipple confusion. We found ours fantastic and have no trouble getting Blue to feed from a bottle using one.
