I wonder if Medela paid for the placement of a room full of Symphony's?

While it was good to hear the nurse say "breastmilk is best for baby"  
I was appalled to see a "group pumping" scenario. Does this really  
happen anywhere?

Does anyone have any feedback from moms about the Medela "Swing"?

In Sweden were I live it is still not so uncommon........
25 years ago, when I had my first child there was a room with pumps in 
every post natal ward for mothers to use......where 3-4 or more mothers 
pumped sometimes.
It still happens.....but maybe not so often anymore.
There used to be 2- 4 (in some hospitals 6) beds  in every room, 
(sometimes the mothers would bring the pump in to that room ).......but 
now we have more single rooms for the parents to stay.

Now that fathers also stay in the hospital,  it is different, but still 
in our neonatal ward there is a room for pumping, if anyone would like 
to sit there (with several pumps)


One mother that I met had bought the Swing after she had been using the 
"Medela hospital blue pump" and she thought it was so much better!
