The Medela Harmony™ Manual Breast Pump is ideal for occasional pumping. It features a PersonalFit Flex™ breast shield and an ergonomic 2-stage pump handle. Harmony is a quiet and discreet breast pump that is easy to handle and clean. The handle allows you to switch between short, low-volume pumping strokes (to stimulate milk flow) and longer, deeper pumping strokes for optimal milk extraction, mimicking your baby’s breastfeeding style. Remember that you may need a different size breast shield than the one supplied with the pump. The correct size is crucial for successful pumping.
The Harmony breast pump is intended for single use only.
Medela is constantly researching and developing pumping technology to create a more effective, natural and comfortable way to pump. All Medela personal pumps feature research-based 2-Phase Expression technology, PersonalFit Flex breast shields and easy-to-use yet effective pre-programmed pumping settings (on electronic pumps).
2-Phase Expression Technology:
At the beginning of each feeding, the baby uses short, fast suckles to stimulate the mother's let-down reflex. As the milk starts to flow, the baby switches to slower, stronger suckles, which suck as much milk as possible at once. Medela pumps mimic this natural sucking behavior in babies.
PersonalFit Flex/Flex™ technology:
With a 105-degree opening angle, soft edge and oval shape for a better fit, the PersonalFit Flex™ breast shield puts less pressure on your milk ducts than traditional breast shields, making pumping more effective and comfortable. More comfort for you, more milk for your baby – clinically proven.
How to find the right size Medela breast pump for you:
Pumping shouldn't hurt. To make it as comfortable and effective as possible, Medela offers five breast shield sizes. This guide will help you determine the best size for you based on your nipple diameter.
Step 1: Using a ruler or measuring tape, measure the diameter of the nipple at the base (center) in millimeters. Do not include the areola.
Step 2: Determine your Medela breast shield size based on your measurements.
Example: If your nipple size is 16 mm in diameter, the recommended Medela breast shield size is 21 mm.
Nipple diameter (Ø mm) maximum 17 mm = Breast pad size 21 mm
Nipple diameter (Ø mm) maximum 20 mm = Breast size 24 mm
Nipple diameter (Ø mm) maximum 23 mm = Breast size 27 mm
Nipple diameter (Ø mm) maximum 26 mm = Breast size 30 mm
Nipple diameter (Ø mm) maximum 32 mm = Breast size 36 mm
