Medela Swing - Help!

[tweetyfoo]

Hi

I bought the medela swing off eBay and I thought you could use it as a double pump - I'm sure a few on here said that you do?

I can't see how it's used as a double, am I missing something?

I really need to double pump, as 30 min per boob will mean I'm attached to a pump 6 hours a day if I single pump

Hmmmm I had a swing and I'm not sure how you can double pump with it?
I know medela do a basic double pump maybe that's what people were referring to?

I'm sat here trying to picture how it's possible???

hmmm, never heard you could double pump with a swing, but medela do a double pump??

i just used 2 pumps, i had a medela mini first then bought a swing and used them at the same time to double pump, a little fiddly at first but much quicker, i figured as i had two pumps why not use both and it worked well.

I can't see how it can double pump with it - but I did ask on here and was told you could

Should have done more research! Poopy pantalons

Absolutely gutted - the hospital have asked for the borrowed pump back, I'm screwed

oh dear, can you maybe sell it on and buy a double?

I hired my medela symphony - £45 a month but worth it (as I've said before it actually worked out about the same as formula)

It comes with a carry case as well so you could take it to Ireland with you although it is a bit heavy x

Ah, of course symphony, not harmony! Doh! Babybrain

I have a symphony at home on loan from the hospital, but I need to give it back

I think I'll hold it hostage

Think I'll just try to get another swing and have a pump per boob!

Yes medela swing is just one so not fit double pumping x
