The first years mipump double electric breast pump....or medela swing pump?

Cait_SeptemberMommy · September 2011

Has anyone used either of these? If so what are your thoughts...likes...dislikes...how much were you able to pump? I have the Lansinoh hand pump....and it just takes so long to pump and my hand gets tired. I'm using the breast flow bottles...so getting the mipump would be perfect, I just wanna know if its any good or if I should go with what everyone thinks is the best brand....medela. Thanks!

I have the singel one with breast flow and 3 weekz pp and I pump 9 0z at one sitting at 6 0z if I pump more than once a day

@erkieshavingagirl oh damn ,thats no good! I was really hoping it was a good pump. I looked up reviews online and they were about half good half bad. Yeah, I love the bottles too. My daughter uses them.

I love my mipump and they're the only bottles my son likes. So its easy to just pump and screw on a nipple.

Cait_SeptemberMommy · September 2011

@rose_town_mommy oh wow! That's a lot. I can only pump 2-3 oz with my hand pump. would love to pump 6 or 9oz. Where did you buy yours?

@baybee1aug10 you don't have any problems pumping with it?

That is the pump i bought but havent had a chance to use it yet

rose_town_mommy · September 2011

I got mine at target if you keep pumping everyday it will build ur milk supply . Tip wen using a hand pump massage the brest where you feel milk more will come out

Cait_SeptemberMommy · September 2011

@rose_town_mommy @erkieshavingagirl did the pump leave cuts or hurt your nipples...bc I've been reading online that women have been getting hurt from the pump?

rose_town_mommy · September 2011

No but I make sure it doesnt hurt or I stop and resituate myself

augustbaby · September 2011

Mine wasn't strong enough....the setting wasn't strong enough...got rid of it!

I have a medela double pump and the swing. Love them both. The swing is so small. I carry it to work. I only pump one breast at a time anyway so swing its perfect.

I have the swing to and I love it I exclusively pump with it

I have the swing I loved it ( I used it with my first and plan to use it again

)

Beautiful_Altar · September 2011

I have a medela swing and i love it!

Cait_SeptemberMommy · September 2011

@salsabia @babyinblack682 @ashleyfew. @babynumber02 @beautiful_altar I wanna get it so bad! But the past few days I've been able to pump 3oz and now I'm only getting1oz....I'm scared I'm loosing my supply. I'm taking fenugreek and mothers milk tea.

salsabia · September 2011

I alternate breast on the pump. When milk stops coming out I squeeze my breast to get more out then switch to the other breast. back and forth. I stopped drinking the tea and only take the fen capsules 3 times a day.

Cait_SeptemberMommy · September 2011

@salsabia was the tea not doing anything for you? And I take 3 capsules 3x a day

novmthumper11 · September 2011

Im going to use the avent pump. Love the bottles so ill let u know how that one works lol wont be till november though :)eventually

salsabia · September 2011

I couldn't tell a difference with or without the tea so I quit buying it. Both combined can get expensive!

DawnwaarsBaby · September 2011

I got the medela swing.. Ive only used it a few times to test. Im due today and want her out. But it seems like a really cool pump.
