Medela: The Science of Breastfeeding
Medela is the global gold standard in breastfeeding support. Based in Switzerland, Medela is a research-based company that has spent over 60 years studying the science of human milk. They are the brand most trusted by hospitals and lactation consultants worldwide. At baby enRoute, we consider Medela essential gear for any breastfeeding journey.
Why Moms Choose Medela
Medela doesn't just make pumps; they mimic nature. Through extensive research with the University of Western Australia, they developed 2-Phase Expression® technology, which replicates a baby's natural sucking rhythm—fast and light to stimulate flow, then slower and deeper to express milk. This results in more milk in less time.

Hospital-Grade Performance
The Symphony® is the pump you see in hospitals. It is the benchmark for establishing and maintaining milk supply.
Personal Use Pumps
Medela brings hospital technology home.
- Pump In Style® with MaxFlow™: The insurance-favorite workhorse. It features a closed system (prevents milk from entering the tubing) and micro-vibrations for efficient milk removal.
- Freestyle™ Hands-Free: The ultimate freedom. This double electric pump features collection cups that sit inside your bra, allowing you to pump discreetly while walking, working, or relaxing. No bottles hanging off your chest.
- Solo™: A compact, easy-to-use single electric pump perfect for occasional pumping.
Feeding Solutions: Calma®
The Calma nipple is designed exclusively for breastmilk. It allows the baby to suck, swallow, and breathe exactly as they do at the breast. Milk only flows when the baby creates a vacuum, preventing nipple confusion and making the switch between breast and bottle seamless.
Care & Accessories
From Purelan™ (100% lanolin nipple cream) to Quick Clean™ steam bags, Medela supports the entire process, ensuring hygiene and comfort for mom.
