About Medela Breast Pumps &
2-Phase Expression™.
Extensive research on electric breastpumps initiated by Medela and conducted by Professor Peter Edwin Hartmann and his team lead to the development of the 2-Phase Expression technology.
It is known that babies change the way they suckle at a mother's breast during breastfeeding. Initially they suckle rapidly to stimulate the milk ejection reflex (MER) and induce milk "let-down". This phase is referred to as "stimulation". Once the breast has been sufficiently stimulated, milk begins flowing and the baby settles into a slower, more relaxed sucking for the actual feeding phase. This phase is called "expression".
These two phases are combined in 2-Phase Expression - an exclusive pumping program that more closely mimics a baby's nursing rhythm by pumping in two distinct modes. It consists of a Stimulation mode and an Expression mode - just like real breastfeeding.
All Medela breastpumps are fully automatic. They function with the same physiological
rhythm as a nursing baby. This stimulates milk production. Suction strength can be regulated within a safe range to ensure that the breastmilk can be pumped gently yet effectively.
Mother's little helper
Medela breastpumps are ideal for use in clinics, at home, when travelling or in the workplace, e.g. in the case of under or oversupply of milk, engorgement, sensitive or sore nipples, when a baby has sucking problems, relactation after a pause in breastfeeding or for the temporary separation of mother and child.
Note:
You will not find regular teats/baby bottles OR soothers listed in the product selection. Mothers wishing to bottle feed their breast milk should use the Medela Haberman feeder or Softcup feeder, these are ideal for use on those occasions when baby is spending time with relatives or carers to enable them to feed Baby your breast milk without teat/nipple confusion, also for feeding baby when breast feeding is not possible or if Baby has a minor deformity such as a cleft pallet.
