Medela Freestyle™ Hands-free breast pump is Medela′s first wearable hands-free double electric breast pump, designed so you can carry on with other tasks while you′re pumping. The compact, pocket-sized pump is a separate unit, allowing our lightweight collection cups to fit discreetly inside your bra for a superior hands-free pumping experience. The wearable, ultra-lightweight collection cups are amongst the lightest available (76g each) and designed to fit comfortably and discreetly in your bra, and the separate pump stays in your pocket instead of weighing on your breast. The pump has anatomically shaped collection cups uniquely designed to maximise milk expression and comfort by reducing compression of breast tissue. Having only three parts, the pump is easy to clean in only three steps. It′s also dishwasher safe. The transparent design makes it easy to align the nipple and check if milk is flowing. The built-in, USB-rechargeable battery allows for convenient pumping wherever you are, and connectivity to the Medela Family™ app allows you to create a personalized profile tailored to your needs.
Wear it together with your nursing bra! Freestyleâ„¢ Hands-free is designed for mums with an active, on-the-go lifestyle. The collection cups fit comfortably inside most nursing bras.
More milk, more comfort. Most breast pump shields have a 90° angle. The Freestyle Hands-free breast shields are designed with our research-based 105° angle technology to create a more natural fit and reduce pressure on the breast, resulting in better milk removal and comfort.
Medela continuously researches and advances pumping technology to create a more effective, natural and comfortable way to express. All Medela pumps for personal use are equipped with research-based 2-Phase Expression technology, PersonalFit Flex breast shields and easy-to-use yet effective pre-programmed pumping settings (on electronic pumps).
2-Phase Expression technology:
At the start of each breastfeed, the baby uses short, fast sucks to stimulate the mother′s let-down reflex. Once the milk begins to flow, the baby changes to slower, stronger sucking that takes in as much milk as possible. Medela pumps mimic this natural sucking behaviour of babies.
PersonalFit Flex/Flexâ„¢ technology:
With a 105-degree opening angle, soft rim and an oval shape for a better fit, the PersonalFit Flex™ shield puts less pressure on your milk ducts than traditional breast shields, resulting in a more effective and comfortable pumping session. More comfort for you, more milk for your baby – clinically proven.
Pre-programmed pumping settings:
Medela’s combined speed and vacuum settings are pre-programmed based on their extensive research in breastfeeding and pumping to ensure effective breast milk expression and ease of use. No guesswork for the user – simple adjustment with +/- helps mums find their maximum comfort vacuum.
Understanding Medela’s breast shield sizing:
Pumping should not hurt. To make is as comfortable and effective as possible, Medela offers five breast shield sizes. This guide helps you determine the best size for you, based on your nipple diameter.
Step 1: Using a ruler or measuring tape, measure the diameter of your nipple at base (across middle) in millimeters. Do not include areola.
Step 2: Based on your measurement, determine your Medela breast shield size. Example: If your nipple size measures 16mm in diameter, the recommended Medela breast shield size is 21mm.
Nipple diameter (Ø mm) up to 17 mm = Breast shield size 21 mm
Nipple diameter (Ø mm) up to 20 mm = Breast shield size 24 mm
Nipple diameter (Ø mm) up to 23 mm = Breast shield size 27 mm
Nipple diameter (Ø mm) up to 26 mm = Breast shield size 30 mm
Nipple diameter (Ø mm) up to 32 mm = Breast shield size 36 mm
