Breast pump Medela Swing Maxi Flex

I purchased a pump from another company ready for the birth of my baby it was fiddly to put together and hardly pumped any milk. Then I purchased another pump from another company and it was constantly coming apart during pumps which resulted in loss of suction and spilt milk. So I send it back and purchased a medela pump, it's been absolutely brilliant, my supply has increased, its easy to clean and put together. I would highly recommend.

I bought this pump when my baby was 3 weeks old just to express one bottle for my husband to help with feeding. I have since moved onto exclusively expressing due to issues with latch and I'm so thankful that I bought this one as it's very efficient and works well - I get 4-5oz each side and pump 4 times per day! After reading reviews, I bought rechargeable batteries so that I can move around, look after my toddler, do the washing or laundry whilst I'm expressing which is really helpful. It's difficult to hold my baby whilst expressing due to the bottle positioning but the price for in-bra alternatives is so much higher and initially I was unsure as to how much I would use it hence the decision.

I bought the swing maxi flex a month ago after renting the hospital grade version. I have found I expressed the same amount of breast milk using both pumps and the device is easy to clean and use. I trust medela and would not use another electrical pump.

I bought mine a month ago. Double is definitely better than single as it saves you time. But I really wish medela gave you options for the Falange/nipple shield. Their smallest size is still far too big and I end up losing precious milk! I had to buy separate Falange to help with pumping efficiently.

Been using this for about a week now and will it has been a success in terms of milk yielded, the battery life and absence of a UK 3 pin plug for the power adapter has left us a bit underwhelmed with it.
