When you return to work after having a baby, you’re going to need a breast pump that you can easily transport, is convenient to use and will efficiently express breastmilk. After all, you may have to pump several times a day (every three to four hours is recommended), you’ll want to be able to pump any where and at any time, and maybe for many months. The medela pump in style advanced not only fits all of these requirements, it does so in style.

This medela pump is an efficient double electric pump, meaning that it can pump both breasts at the same time. For added convenience, since electricity might not always be available, the pump also can run on eight AA batteries. And when you go to our medela breast pump accessories link, you can purchase the low-cost car adapter, so you’ll have that option as well.

The medela pump in style advanced features 2-Phase Expression Technology that is very similar to how your baby breastfeeds. Clinical studies have shown mothers will produce more breastmilk more quickly when the breastpump mimics how their baby feeds. Babies usually start with a fast and light suckling rhythm, similar to the Stimulation Phase of the breastpump, until you achieve let-down. Then baby switches to a slower and deeper rhythm, like the Expression Phase of the breastpump. The breastpump uses more vacuum during this Expression Phase, so your milk flows faster. And you have control because you can adjust the speed and vacuum.

However, if you’re in a stressful, demanding job, you may not always feel relaxed enough to pump. To create a comfortable environment that’s conducive to pumping, keeping a photo of baby close to you, hold a piece of clothing or blanket that has baby’s scent, listen to music, and/or eat a meal or a healthy snack. (Yes, we know you’re used to multi-tasking!) And don’t forget to wear clothing that makes it convenient to pumping when you’re working.

Included with this breastpump are the breastpump motor unit and the cooler carrier, which are conveniently removable, four collection cups and lids, plus all the valves and membranes that the pump requires. And you have three stylish options for how you’d like to transport the medela pump. If you’re a mass- transit commuter, you may like the backpack model. Or you can choose the convenience of the Shoulder Bag. The Metro Bag, made of stain-resistant nylon, has an adjustable handle, is reversible and comes with a working pad so that, no matter where you are, you’ll have a clean place to pump. Whichever style you choose, you’ll have lots of room for storage. And all parts that come into contact with your breastmilk are BPA-free and DEHP-free. The medela pump in style advanced provides you with comfort, convenience, safety and style – what more could you need?
