Medela — #1 Choice of Hospitals and Mothers

Disbet: This is the information we have gotten from Medela: Around room temperature or slightly below (50-68°F), at ~40% charge, outside the device (microprocessor controlled devices always "drain" the battery even if not in use). Ideally charge once a year back to ~40% (it will lose charge...

If you used the Pump in Style for a previous baby, yes, you will love the Freestyle. If you used the Pump in Style yesterday, you will love the Freestyle, but there may be a few days where you aren't sure. Every pumping mother gets very used to her pump and may notice even very small changes. In...

I own a pump in style. I am thinking about buying a freestyle.... has anyone used both or think that I will like the freestyle better than the pump in style? Thanks!

I have done both as well. I'd rather pour bottles into bags though. As far as the difference in oz lines on bottles/bags, it's best to write the oz from the bottle onto the bag. When milk freezes, it expands and looks like there is up to a whole ounce more. I usuallt rip off the top of the bags...

So, I have been pumping for 6 months now using a freestyle pump. Everything was going great until I accidentally plugged my pump to the incorrect power supply. Now the pump has a "plug" symbol and it won't turn on! I think I broke it. I hope it can be fixed. I am not sure I will be able...

I have had some luck with this. A few things helped me that may help you: 1) are you in a quiet and relaxing place while pumping? I'm an RN and I work long 12-hr shifts. If I'm sitting in my office but thinking about everything happening with my patients, I don't have a milk ejection reflex...

So, my wife has been having problems with her brand new Freestyle pump. The membrane seems to get stuck to the back cap and stops pumping in-and-out. First, some nomenclature: the Freestyle breastpump end pieces consist of a shield, body, membrane, and back cap, where the pump tube connects to the back...
