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.

 FANTASTIC PUMP!!!! Coudn't live without it! January 4, 2009
K. Rockwell (California)
As a first time mother, I had no idea what I would & wouldn't need...I have to say, every ursing mother needs this pump. Even if you have the pump in style, get one of these for quick, on-the-go pumping needs. I have both pumps & only use the harmony- it is so convenient. I can pump 6 oz in less than 10 minutes, the pump attaches to all of our various bottles, & it is so easy to clean with only 4 easy parts. I've used this pump for car trips where it would be great to feed the baby bottles in order to not have to stop every two hours. I just pump near the time baby may wake up & voila, warm fresh bottle in minutes. I could go on & on - a must have!!!!
Great Manual Pump! October 17, 2008
Rebecca Mckenzie (Central Coast, CA)
When I went back to work, I quickly learned that my electric pump battery wasn't going to work (there was no electric plugs in the bathroom I was pumping in). This is the 3rd manual I have used. The first is the Medela that came with my Pump in Style. It was a pain. The second was an Evenflo and the top constantly popped off the bottles. This one was perfect. Easy to use, and very comfortable. I pumped 3 times a day at work and was able to continue to breastfeed my son until he was a year old. Also worked on long car rides. I could through a blanket over myself and pump in the car and nobody was wiser. Get this and you will love it. One of hte best parts about it is the Medela customer service you will get with it. I had some problems with my Pump in style and the customer service rep walked me through it step by step. You won't get that with any other company.
 Probably the better of manual pumps out there September 23, 2008

I am a working mom who returned to work after my son was just one month. My son was exclusively breastfed and I wanted to continue pumping at work. I intend to breastfeed him for a year. I have the Medela In Style electric double pump and it works very well for at home use. I don't bring it to work because it would be too noisy and inconvenient to use. I used the Medela Harmony pump and used it for about 1.5 months and then it stopped working because it lost suction. I think it had something to do with the suction in the handle. After detaching it for washing and sterilization it just wouldn't suction in the same way. I bought another one and the same thing happened about 4 weeks later...no suction. I used my pump quite often...3x per day 5 days a week. I decided to try the Avent Isis manual pump and I can tell you I will definitely be returning to the Medela Harmony! The Harmony is quieter and gets the expression going more quickly. Unlike the Isis the milk doesn't back up so that your hunching over awkwardly to get the milk into the cup while it makes this loud,squishy, indiscreet noise. I can stand upright comfortably with the Harmony. The Harmony pump handle has more room for greater expression upon each pump. The Harmony is smaller and has fewer pieces that need connecting and then unscrewing. The other terrible thing about he Avent Isis is that I fear that the piece that connects the bottle to the pump is going to come undone (since it doesn't screw on tightly) and have breastmilk spill all over. I have hold it in place while I pump....very annoying and uncomfortable. I've used the Avent for a short while and am already planning to buy another Harmony...I'll talk to Medela & find out whether I'm doing something wrong or whether it's caused from my frequent use. If you're going to choose a hand pump choose Medela Harmony. Hope the review was helpful!
REALLY GREAT MANUAL PUMP!!! September 9, 2008
Mariya Yakobchuk (Miami, FL)
I own Medela's Pump in Style Electric BreastPump, use and like it a lot, but I needed to buy a small one for travel - so I got Medela Harmony manual breastpump. It works as well as my electric one, and I think that I got milk flow even faster. The best part - I can control pumping at my comfort level, which is awesome!
I do not think it is the best option if you have to pump a lot, but for occasional job it is great. I did read reviews for different pumps everywhere before I picked this one, and I'm very happy with it. Easy to assemble, no leaks, comfortable, does excellent job! Very lightweight, so I do not have to drag my big electric one around (I travel a bit).
I wish I got it sooner!
Great for moms! September 2, 2008

My wife and I bought this pump after coming home from the hospital and using a hospital grade electric pump. We had rented an electric one from a local pharmacy as well, which did not work half as well as the Medela Harmony did. She is able to pump 4 oz. in about 15 minutes and it has worked VERY well so far. I would recommend this others who need a pump but do not want to spend the bucks on a new electric one. This works just as well.
