I purchased this product 3 months ago and have been using it everyday. It works well in pumping breast milk and was quite straight forward to assemble. I have only two problem with it, one being that soemtimes when I unscrew the bottle from the breast shields it soemtimes leaks quite a bit of milk that was somehow trapped in between. Secondly the inside of the breast shields small crevices can be difficult to Clean without a small tool. I had only realize there was some mold in the smallest gap when i looked thoroughly inside! Make sure you check !

Being a FTM it was daunting starting to breastfeed and pumping was really scary for me, but not with the Medela. This breast pump was gentle but still had great sucking power, and the battery lasts forever. The milk catcher inserts, bottles, and tests made by Medela are great too. 10/10

I bought this pump for the first time and I’m completely in love! Easy to use, the fact that can be used plugged or with batteries is a must! Not too noisy. Affordable and excellent quality. Being able to express both breasts at the same time is a life saver, specially with a new born that requires our attention pretty much all day. Not bulky, so easy to pack away and take everywhere in a small hand bag. I recommend this product and brand! Did not have the opportunity to trie others, but I didn’t need to as this one has all it is needed 🙂

It is the name that I decided to go for when I was choosing a breast pump and I am not regret for buying Medela as it is easy to use. I am a person who is lazy to read instructions, however, Medela Swing Maxi Flex breast pump is easy to assemble and use. Highly recommended for mommies to be!

This is the best breast pump I’ve ever used! The suction is great but it doesn’t hurt. I’ve used loads of different pumps and this is by far my favourite. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to establish feeding or establish a great freezer supply. This pump promoted my let down to start easily whereas similar other pumps haven’t done that for me. Great price, great product.

I have absolutely loved this pump. It has every aspect I would want in a breast pump. I love that it is not only so simple and easy to use, but it sooo portable. I’m so impressed with the new breast shield, so much more comfortable than the previous version. I’m also really loving that you can clip it onto your shirt or pants while pumping, so you can move around. With my old pump I was only able to pump around 50mls but with this one I’m getting around 200ml in just 10 minutes! So happy. Definitely recommend this product to everyone. I’ve even managed to get my pregnant friend to buy one, she was soo impressed!

I was blown away by how comfy this is compared to the pump I was using. The breast shields adapt to your boob shape, and the parts are really quick and easy to assemble and wash. Being a double is a HUGE timesaver. I love that you can pump hands free, and use the battery function to move around and get things done while pumping. You can use a pumping bra or even just put slits in a firm crop top! The letdown setting is great for anyone trying to establish or build supply too. I’d never used milk bags before but after also trying the Medela milk storage bags I got as a free sample, I’m hooked. So much easier than storage bottles in fridge like I was doing previously!

Wow! Just wow! With a 2 year old and a premature new born at home that is feeding every 2 hours around the clock this pump has changed my world! I can hook the pumps on play blocks with my active toddler or I can cut up the veggies for dinner.
The suction is complete and strong without being painful- it is so effective with me yielding more milk than ever before!
My only negative thought is why oh why didn’t I have this with my son!?!? It would’ve made my breastfeeding journey so much easier.
Thank you Medela and thank you mouths of mums from a very happy and tired Mumma xxx

Recieved my pump today and straight away used it. Quick, portable and easy to use, the Swing Maxi Fle is a portable double electric breast pump hat mimics babies’ sucking for a more natural pumping experience. Most favourite part is that it’s portable so I can pump and continue to do things. Can’t wait to continue using and give more reviews about it .

This pump gave me my personal best (150 in 20 mins).
I had tried the advent pump prior am it was long and hard to manage. I had to to put in alot of work.. leaning forward, using arms to ‘squeeze’ – you get the picture.
Best part would be being able to maintain the power with batteries instead of using international converters. Which unfortunately, loses the ‘UMPH’ another plus is how light and small the pump is. Easily fit in my baby bag.

Genius Beach And Pool Tips Every Aussie Mum Should Know
Summer beach and pool days are core childhood memory creators, but getting the kids out the door, not so much! From wrestling wriggly toddlers into rashies to arguing with teens trying to dodge sunscreen and cramming half the house into the car, the exhaustion can kick in before we’ve even set foot on the sand!
But there are some very clever tips that will make even the most stressful summer days smooth sailing – and the Mouths of Mums community know them all! Which is why we asked our mums for their hints, hacks and tips – from sand removal to stress-free sunscreen application (we’re going to introduce you to the fabulous new Banana Boat SmartMist Sunscreen Sprays that will make your life so much easier).
You’ll want to take note before you next hit the beach or pool!
Pack Smart, Not Big
Do you feel like you take waaayyy too much when you head to the beach or pool, and then you seem to forget a couple of key things that would have made life so much easier?
Our Mouths of Mums community swear by this fab list of essentials which should be in every mum’s beach kit, and
A plastic bag for wet towels and bathers
A dry bag for clothes
A bucket or basin to wash off sandy toys
A ‘clean zone’, sand-free blanket or mat for eating and changing
A pop-up tent for changing
Waterproof phone case
Talcum powder to get sticky, wet sand off little feet. Just pop it on and brush it off – it’s magic!
A hand-held car vac for quick sand cleanups!
“The amount of times my kids have gone home in wet chafing swimming costumes because they didn’t want anyone to see them changing is unbelievable! Our pop up tent has been life changing! We all drive home comfy and cosy! Lastly, a sand proof picnic blanket is so perfect for a sand reprieve! The sand literally falls right through them!” – MoM Member
Get Safety Sorted Before The Fun Starts
It’s pretty hard to get the kids’ attention once you’re at the beach or pool, so the safety talk should really start at home. Our mums recommend chatting to the kids about:
Swimming between the flags at the beach
Setting a meeting spot in case anyone gets separated
Sunscreen: Always apply sunscreen 20 minutes before heading outdoors. And set alarms to reapply every two hours throughout the day. Reapply immediately after swimming or using a towel.
Applying sunscreen at the start of the day and regularly throughout is so important, but it usually causes the most arguments. Kids don’t want to stop, teens assure you they ‘did it already’.
That’s where Banana Boat’s new SmartMist™ Sunscreen Spray SPF50+ actually makes a difference. The iconic sunscreen brand has just launched its newest product, which turns sunscreen time into something simple and fun. It’s an easy and convenient way to tick off sun safety – which isn’t always easy when it comes to kids!
Why Banana Boat SmartMist Sunscreen Spray makes sunscreen easier
The Smart Control Spray gives you the choice of a short spray for tricky spots or a long spray for larger areas like those wiggly little legs, making application simple and convenient. It also sprays from any angle – just spray, rub in and you’re ready for playtime.
Clear, lightweight formula that absorbs fast and with no greasy feel.
SPF50+ broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection and 4-hour water resistant.
Kids SmartMist™ is mild and gentle for kid’s sensitive skin, fragrance free and contains Aloe and Vitamin E.
Sport SmartMist™ features high-performance Powerstay Technology™, designed to stay on through sweat and water.
Banana Boat SmartMist makes those important sunscreen stops much easier and effective and is perfect for active Aussie families this summer.
Prep & Time It Perfectly
There’s nothing worse than kids itching to get to the beach while you’re trying to remember everything you need to pack – it makes everyone frazzled. So get prepped early – even the night before. And time your departure to minimise the amount of time in the car (and the amount of times the kids ask ‘are we there yet?!’.
“Packing the car the night before, always a huge help getting the bucket, cabana, and bag of spare clothes/towels in the boot. We usually leave straight after breakfast to avoid heavy traffic as the beach is an hour away.” – MoM Member
Pack Smart Snacks
Snacks are a must, but it can be tricky to know what’s going to survive a hot, Aussie summer day – and what’s good for hungry tummies. Here’s what our mums recommend:
Chopped fruit
Crackers
Boiled eggs
Drink bottles that have been frozen overnight
“We have a few allergies/intolerances, so being prepared with food is helpful and saves us the search and some money. I pre-chop carrots, cucumber, apples, boiled egg, in a handy separating container, a packet of chips, dip, and bring water bottles. If it’s a longer day planned at the beach I’ll bring lunch too.” – MoM Member
A chaos-free beach day. Yes please!
You don’t need a military-style plan to enjoy a sunny day out. A beach trolley, some prep, and an easy sunscreen like SmartMist™ are enough to help things run calmly – or at least calm-ish!
Always read the label and follow the directions for use. Wear protective clothing, a hat and sunglasses in addition to sunscreen. Reapply frequently every 2 hours or more often when sweating and immediately after swimming or using a towel. Avoid prolonged high-risk sun exposure.
