The Swing's compact size makes it easy to pump wherever you are. View larger. | Gentle Comfort Designed to provide gentle comfort, the Harmony includes several features to help make pumping a more enjoyable experience. First, the contoured, ergonomically designed handle fits easily in your hand. The handle also swivels, giving you the freedom to position your hand and then pump more comfortably on each breast. The Harmony also comes with a SoftFit breast shield to softly massage the breast while you pump. Two-Phase Expression Technology Designed to feel more like your baby than any other manual pump, the Harmony features two-phase expression technology, an advanced pumping pattern that mimics a baby's natural nursing rhythm. This system works in two modes: the simulation mode and the expression mode. The simulation mode simulates your baby's initial rapid sucking to start your milk flowing, while the expression mode simulates your baby's slower, deeper suckling to express your milk gently yet efficiently. These modes work together to make pumping a quick and painless process. Convenient, Safe and User-Friendly Design Medela knows that busy moms don't have the time or patience to struggle with complicated parts or to wait for the pump to stimulate milk flow. That's why the Harmony is designed for faster let-down. Additionally, this one-piece unit features fewer pieces to assemble and clean than traditional manual pumps, making it a snap to start pumping when and where you need to. Most importantly, the Harmony is a safe and sanitary way to provide your baby with healthy breast milk--all parts that come into contact with breast milk are 100-percent BPA/DEHP free. For added convenience, this pump is also upgradeable to electric pumping with the use of the Symphony or the Lactina conversion kits (not included), and it is backed with a 30-day limited warranty.

Rating :      great pump for stay-home moms - J. Melancon, Apr 30, 2008
I ordered this pump for my third child after my electric pump quit working for my first two children. I use it once a week or so for an occasional bottle for my daughter and it works great. I can't express much milk from it, but she is a snacker, so I'm not sure I would get much more from an electric. It's very comfortable and super easy to clean.
Rating :      LOVE IT! - N. Batzel, Apr 24, 2008
I love this pump! I used to have an Avent manual pump, but switched to this Medela pump because it is made from a plastic that is less likely to leach any dangerous chemicals. It is compatable with most breastmilk storage bottles, including Evenflo glass baby bottles. I pump straight into the glass bottles so the milk has less exposure to plastic. The shield is very comfortable and made from a softer material than the Avent. This pump also has a feature for lighter pumping during milk letdown. I much prefer manual pumping to electric, and this Medela pump seems to be sturdy and well made. Don't waste your money on an electric pump or a more expensive manual pump...this one is all you need!
Rating :      Broke in three uses. Manual pumping is a waste of time. - Marianne Walters, Apr 14, 2008
I bought this breastpump for my first baby and it broke after I had used it three times. This pump is tricky to assemble.
I called the 1-800 number and they would not believe that it broke they just kept telling me I had put it together wrong. I am not an imbecile I know the difference between broken and not put together. It had come unglued. Anyway I bought it before my son was born and so my 30 day money back guarantee was over.
Trying to manual pump is nuts your hand gets tired fast and the milk comes out slowly. It was faster for me to hand express. I bought an electric pump to replace it.
Rating :      Very easy to use, good milk flow! - Anavah, Apr 04, 2008
I have seven children and have breastfed all of them. I've had to use pumps on occasion when I could not nurse and this was by far the easiest breast pump that I've ever used. I've used 6 different brands and types and this one is tops! Milk flow is produced quickly, the assembly is very simple, it is light weight and extremely portable -- just really a great product.
The one drawback is that the contruction of the pump is so light weight that it is not sturdy. My 7 yr old was playing with it and actually managed to break it in just 2 minutes! I'd still highly reccommend this product though. Just treat it tenderly and keep it away from your other kids - Laugh!
Rating :      Love it! - SWTTLK, Mar 28, 2008
I was amazed at how easily this thing worked! My hand didn't get tired and I think I actually got more milk out in less than time than it takes my high end electric pump! And without the noise, too! I also like the freedom with this little pump -- I can do little things for kids or around the house with one hand while pumping with the other. This has been great for my occassional or daily pump so I have milk to mix with cereal or my husband can give a bottle. Also good for those moments when I find myself engourged or baby doesn't nusrse a full feeding.... Maybe it's the sleep deprivation, but I ALMOST wish I would have tried this before spending the $$$ on my electric pump (pumped almost full time with first baby).
