swing: quiet(important if you are using it in office), 2-phase stimulation.
depends on how long you have been breastfeeding. if you have stable milk production (quantity) and you have been breastfeeding for a few months, the differences of the 2 pumps are not so much in performance. but that is significant if you are at the initial stage with little milk and easily blocked ducts.
swing helped me to increased milk supply from 3.5oz/times to 6oz/time in 3 days. but i pumped less and less with mini-electric and got blocked ducts a few times.
Thanks a lot for your advice. I am still in the initial stage, though my bb has been 1.5month old. Now, I can pump around 4oz milk each time (sometimes can be more 5-6oz). I really hope that the quantity can be more and more so that my bb don't need to drink milk powder. I am now considering to buy swing pump if it can help so. It's around $1300, am i right?

if you can find someone to lend you to try, it is the best. trying before buying is the best as breastpumps are quite personal. the lowest price for swing is $11xx (if you can find someone to buy for you from nursing staff association. they need real nursing staff membership for medela products). i bought 2 2nd hand swings from bk moms at almost half price. yeah. you can get it at $13xx (after 10% off).
