Medela Symphony
If money is not an issue to you, the Medela Symphony
is an outstanding breast pump: Powerful, durable
and most efficient in expressing milk. Comes with
Medela top quality and three year warranty. But,
at $1200 you could purchase a lot of baby clothes
with money you would save if you bought
a $250 pump.
.... Closer Than Ever to Nature
The Medela Symphony breast pump is the first
breast pump with Natural Expression™, Medela’s breakthrough
two-phase pumping program that offers an initial,
rapid rhythm to promote “Let-Down” and then a slower,
deeper rhythm for efficient milk expression. This
technology has been incorporated into Medela's Pump
in Style line of breast pumps.
Includes Pumping Program with options for both
automatic and manual switching between pumping phases,
based on moms’ needs.
Pumping Programs are stored on a Program Card,
allowing further Pumping Programs to be implemented
in the future by releasing alternate Program Cards
as research supports it.
For moms’ convenience, one knob combines vacuum
level and the number of cycles per minute in the
expression phase.
Moms can switch between single and double pumping
simply by adding or removing the second Pump Collection
Set.
Specially designed membrane separates Pump Collection
Set from pump mechanism, ensuring unmatched overflow
protection without compromising vacuum capacity.
LCD Display indicates pumping phase, vacuum level,
battery status, and other handling and service information.
Whisper-quiet; the world’s quietest symphony you
are happy not to hear….
Available in both a standard and a rechargeable-battery
version.
Two-Phase Feeding in Babies
Research has shown that a baby’s feeding
is not a single continuous action, but rather a
two-phase process in which the baby will
initially suckle rapidly to stimulate the mother’s
milk ejection reflex (MER), and induce milk “let-down”.
This phase is referred to as “stimulation”. Once
the breast has been sufficiently stimulated, milk
begins flowing and the baby settles into a slower,
more relaxed sucking speed for the actual feeding
phase. This phase is called “expression.”
Natural Expression Pumping Program
The Symphony breast pump produces
such fantastic results and comfort because
the Natural Expression pumping program closely
simulates this natural two-phase feeding pattern.
The Natural Expression Pumping Program consists
of a Stimulation/Let-Down mode and an Expression
mode — just like real breastfeeding. The following
chart illustrates how Natural Expression works,
with some of its benefits listed below:
