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, a soft edge and an oval shape for a better fit, the PersonalFit Flex™ breast pump puts less pressure on the milk ducts than traditional breast pumps, making pumping more efficient and comfortable. More comfort for you, more milk for your baby - clinically proven.
Pre-programmed pumping settings:
Medela's pumping settings are pre-programmed based on extensive breastfeeding and pumping research to ensure efficient breast milk secretion and ease of use of the pump. No guesswork for the user – simple adjustment with the +/- buttons helps mothers find the best setting for them.
Here's how you can find the right size Medela breast pump for you:
Pumping should not hurt. To make it as comfortable and effective as possible, Medela offers five sizes of breast pads. 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 pad size 24 mm
Nipple diameter (Ø mm) maximum 23 mm = Breast pad size 27 mm
Nipple diameter (Ø mm) maximum 26 mm = Breast pad size 30 mm
Nipple diameter (Ø mm) maximum 32 mm = Breast pad size 36 mm
