Medela Symphony Breast Pump
- Reviews and Rental
As one of the largest suppliers of
breast pumps and breast pump accessories, it’s no surprise that Medela has a lot
to offer mothers. They produce manual pumps for those who breast-feed
infrequently and electric pumps for working mothers who must pump every day.
They produce single pumps and double pumps, which can milk both breasts at a
time for convenience. They also produce high-quality products, including those
designed for at-home use and hospital-grade machines.
Hospital-grade pumps are designed to hold up and work properly despite constant,
repeated use. Their design allows for use by multiple mothers (tubing and parts
that come in contact with the breasts and milk products are replaced between
uses, for sanitary purposes, of course). Typically, these pumps are used by
mothers in the hospital who have problems breast feeding in the first few days
after giving birth. However, some mothers need these high-quality, high-priced
pumps at home.
How can you tell if you need this pump? If you can answer yes to even one of
these questions, then it may be for you:
• Does your baby have a problem with breast feeding?
• Are you planning on feeding your baby only from a bottle using a pump?
• Do you plan on pumping on a daily basis for an extended period of time?
• Are you a working mother who must put in 40 hours per week?
Hospital-grade pumps are a good choice for a mother in any of these situations
because of their durability and excellent design.
Not everyone can afford to buy a hospital-grade pump, though. The good news is
you can rent one and return it when you are done, since it’s made for use by
multiple mothers. The Medela Symphony model is a great choice for hospital-grade
pumps if you decide to go that route.
The Medela Symphony breast pump is a double pump machine, meaning it can pump
from both breasts at once. It is designed with 2-phase expression technology,
meaning that the suction patterns are made to mimic the suckling action of an
infant. This is great for pumping mothers because it increases the volume of
milk they collect and it increases their comfort. It has variable suction
strength and speed, so you can customize it for your needs. Plus, it can run on
batteries or while plugged into a wall outlet. This means more options for you.
Medela makes plenty of accessories for the Symphony model. These include breast
shields of varying sizes, spare valves and membranes, a car lighter adapter for
electric hook-up on the go, a trolley for mobility, double pumping kits with
extra parts, and special cleaners for hygiene.
If you are thinking about buying or renting this model from Medela, take the
time to look online and read more about the product. Medela has more detailed
information and specs on the product. You should also take the time to read
consumer reviews from other mothers to make sure this is the perfect product for
you.
