  I have the swing and it's okay.  It served it's purpose in the beginning when I was engorged and needed some relief.  I am a SAHM - I would pump before we went out, as I wasn't good at NIP.  When DS was 4 months I ended up renting a hospital grade double pump (Medela Lactina) due to supply issues.  

  Hindsight - I would have just rented the pump from the hospital from the get go....That is probably what I will do if/when #2 comes along.  

  I think the swing is fine for light wt duty if you are planning on staying at home, and EBF...

   

  Good luck

  Thanks! I hope to be a SAHM for at least 6 months and BF for a year.

  Lansinoh all the way.  The swing is a single and a double pump is just better, plus you can use the Lansinoh as a single if you want/need to.  If you are going back to work after 6 months (I think that's what you mean) then you will WANT a double pump at work.

  My swing worked great with my DS when I went back to work but I am planning on getting a double this time around to save time. but I will stick with the Medela brand
