Medela breastfeeding products are based on more than 20 years of evidence-based research into the life-giving benefits of breast milk. To understand mothers’ needs and babies’ behaviour, Medela works collaboratively with universities, hospitals and research institutions around the world. Their insights and discoveries help Medela to develop advanced technologies for breastfeeding solutions.
Products
Breast Pumps
Medela’s range of breast pumps covers all the potential needs of breastfeeding mums: from initiating breastfeeding for a prematurely born baby with the highest-standard, hospital-grade breast pump Symphony (available to rent), to expressing milk to cover the odd night out with the high-performance manual pump Harmony, to exclusive breast milk pumping with our top individual-use double side pump Freestyle. Most pumps feature 2-Phase Expression technology, which mimics babies’ natural sucking rhythms, allowing mums to express more breast milk in less time.
Collecting & Feeding
Breastfeeding is the healthiest, most natural way for mums to feed breast milk to their babies. Medela continuously works with researchers to understand this complex process fully and provides mums with both standard feeding devices and special feeding devices for babies who need extra support. Medela’s latest feeding innovation, Calma, translates the detailed understanding of the baby’s sucking behaviour into a teat.
Storage & Mobility
Breast milk is precious – collecting and storing breast milk for your baby is essential for their health. That is why Medela only offers BPA free bottles and containers. To make it more comfortable for you and to help ensure your pumping session is effective, Medela offers different types of breast shields so you can choose the right fit for you. The Breast Milk Store & Feed Set and the Breastfeeding Starter Kit contain our best-selling products that help you in the first weeks and also make an ideal gift.
Breast Care
Breastfeeding is very special for both mum and baby and should be as comfortable as possible. Medela’s range of breast care products provides you with extra support if needed and includes products to help you overcome certain challenges during breastfeeding, such as breast milk leakage or sore and cracked nipples.
Spare Parts & Accessories
Medela offers mums a range of accessories that make breastfeeding, breast milk pumping and the process of collecting, handling and storing breast milk easier and more convenient. Medela’s accessories help you retain the valuable nutrients in breast milk during transport. Essential accessories such as baby bottles and breast shields are quick and easy to clean – whether you are at home or on the go.
Hospital & Rental
Symphony PLUS technology used soon after birth can significantly increase breast milk production. The INITIATE program contains a mixture of stimulation phases, an expression phase and a pause phase that mimic healthy infant feeding behaviors.
