With the Freestyle Mini series, Medela is launching four electric breast pumps that fit quietly and unobtrusively into everyday life. You can buy them from us now.
Milk pumps give mums more flexibility when breastfeeding. They make it easier to produce milk, enable you to keep a supply and allow you to let others feed your baby. Hands-free pumps go one step further: worn discreetly in a bra, they keep your hands free. Mums who prefer to use a classic pump will also find suitable models at Medela: The Freestyle mini series comprises four devices in two product lines, each as a single and double pump.
Hands-free or Classic?
The main difference between the two lines is how the pump is worn. With the «Freestyle Mini Hands-free», the collection cups are located directly in the nursing bra. The pump unit is in a separate housing that is no bigger than the palm of your hand. According to Medela, the collection cups are among the lightest on the market. If you have your hands free while pumping, you can work, read or look after older children at the same time.
The «Freestyle Mini Classic» pumps the milk directly into an integrated bottle with a volume of 150 millilitres. Pumping and storing are done in one step, no need to decant. According to the manufacturer, the oval breast shields can be rotated by up to 360 degrees to find a comfortable position.
Single or double?
Both lines are available as single and double breast pumps. According to the manufacturer, the double pump delivers eighteen per cent more milk in half the time. The single pump is suitable for occasional expressing.
The hands-free double pump comes with silicone inserts in three sizes (15, 18 and 21 millimetres). The breast shields are designed to fit over 95 per cent of all nipples. The Hands-free single pump and both Classic versions can be supplemented with separately available silicone inserts.
Technology that connects all four
All four models use the «2-phase expression» technology developed by Medela. It mimics the baby's natural sucking rhythm: First, a fast phase stimulates the milk flow, then the device pumps more slowly and more vigorously. Four buttons control nine vacuum levels. According to the manufacturer, the integrated rechargeable battery lasts for up to eight pumping sessions. Charging is via USB-C. All parts that come into contact with breast milk are dishwasher-safe.
