Highlight On Medela Hands Free Breast Pump

by LisaC

Most nursing mothers find it handy to have a breast pump around the house. Even if they are lucky enough to be stay at home mothers there will usually be occasions where those handy little devices are life savers. Of course, needs will vary from mom to mom but for an evening out it comes in handy and is imperative for the mother returning to work and who wants to continue the breastfeeding experience with her baby.

In the past in order to have a lightweight breast pump, the mother had to trade off the power of a traditional electric pump in favor of a light hand powered unit, chosen for it’s portability and use in situations where an electric outlet was not available. Advances in technology brought us the portable battery powered breast pumps and they met the needs of a working or busy breastfeeding mom better than the hand powered units.

Medela has taken this a step further with the hands free Medela Freestyle unit.

While the new Medela Freestyle breast pump is not as powerful as the hospital grade breast pump, Medela Symphony it offers distinct advantages and also has a two phase expression pumping technology to increase let down and mimic the babies breast-feeding pattern.

Breastfeeding moms returning to work and those who lead an active lifestyle may find particular challenges to continuing breastfeeding that the Medela Freestyle pump can address. These moms can find themselves in situations where no electrical outlet is handy and the battery powered Medela Freestyle can be a boon in these situations.

What sets the tiny Medela Freestyle apart from otherl battery powered breast pumps is it’s minute size, LED readout, and hands free operation. Both hands can be free to attend to other tasks than holding the pumping unit in place. This portable breast pump is also a double unit that can pump both breasts at the same time and even comes with a 12V adapter for use while traveling.

Even though the Medela Freestyle may not be the right breast pump for every mother and every situation it certainly meets a need for the mom on the go. The mother who requires a hospital grade breast pump may still be happier with her stationary Medela Symphony. However the mom who requires a portable solution to breast pumping will likely want to take a second look at the tiny Medela Freestyle.

The Medela pumps are electrically operated and thus the milk extraction process is faster than manually operated pumps. The quantity of the milk can also be enhanced if both the pumps are used.
