  "question": "Which breast pumps hold up well for long-term use?",
  "answer": "Medela Harmony Manual Breast Pump: A review describes the pump as lightweight but durable, compact enough to fit a changing bag, and quiet and discreet. It needs no electricity or battery. A review says it has fewer parts and is easier to assemble than a competitor manual pump, with 2-Phase Expression.\n\nMedela Swing Maxi Hands-Free: The review found build quality solid and parts BPA-free, but warns there are several small parts to keep track of. A buyer reports the tubing broke on first use, and a replacement tube produced weak suction unless the tube was repeatedly reseated at the cups. The video shows the hands-free kit has three collection-cup parts, a lanyard, built-in rechargeable battery and USB charging, plus two breast-shield sizes.",
