Breastpumps are special devices that are used in order to extract milk from the breast of lactating females. These machines may be designed to be used manually, powered by the feet or hands, or electrical, operated through use of batteries or electricity. Medela breastpumps refers to a well-liked and well-known line of products available with varying features. The company sells manual, double electric, rental and single electric pumps.

The pumps can be used for multiple purposes. They are common in the modern day, especially with the busy lifestyle that most mothers and women live. A lot of mothers utilize these so that they are able to continue with their breastfeeding once they have gone back to their normal schedule or work after having child. These units are able to express milk, which can then by put in a bottle and fed to the child at a later time. They may also be used as a way to stimulate lactation. This is more common for moms who have yet to have given birth or those with a decreased supply of milk.

These units may also be helpful for reducing the issue of engorgement. This painful issue is the result of the breasts becoming too full with milk. In such situations, infants might find it more difficult to latch onto the breast for feeding. Weaning units can be employed for those who have lost a child or have no intent of breastfeeding their baby. If an infant is not able to latch to the nipple to feed, a mother that still wants her child to have her milk can use a pump.

Double electric kinds are also sold by this company. These are ideal for mothers who want an all-in-one system to use that is also portable and works for day-to-day use. The two versions of this are pump in style advanced and the freestyle. Both are portable. The pump in style version is available with choice of bag: tote, metro bag or backpack.

Rental models are also an option, such as: Symphony, Lactina Select and Preemie. The single electric kind is available through this company and known as the Swing pump. Those that are looking for a manual version may prefer to get the model called Hammony.

Every single pump by this company features it two-phase expression technology. The company spent time and money in researching breastfeeding. The studies show that babies feed directly from the mom in two specific ways.

Stimulation phase refers to the initial step in which the baby latches onto the breast. It sucks fast and lightly in order to stimulate the flow of milk. Expression phase happens afterwards. This takes place after the flow of milk has started. Infants then begin to feed at a slower pace and with a deeper suck that is able to draw out more of the milk.

The pumps, and other products for mother and child, are available on the official Medela website. Some retailers around the globe also sell these products. Prices for the products will range and may be relative to the model of product and the retailer.
