Professional Support

The close emotional bond between mother and child during breastfeeding is something very special. If direct breastfeeding is (temporarily) not possible or you have difficulty breastfeeding, using a breast pump for support can be very helpful. ​

​Designed for hospitals and based on decades of clinical research, Symphony is a multi-user breast pump with easily adjustable technical features and accessories to meet your individual needs. With its research-based pumping programs, safe hygienic set-up with overflow protection and unique benefits, it is also the first choice of midwives recommending a rental pump for home use¹.​

​Ideal for regular electric double pumping. All parts that come into contact with breast milk are BPA- and phthalate-free.

2 research-based programmes

​Through research, Medela learned that baby’s naturally use different sucking patterns to get as much milk as possible when breastfeeding. It is this understanding that led to Symphony’s two unique pumping programs:​

1. ​INITIATE program.
   Mimics the newborn’s irregular stimulating rhythm during the early days of breastfeeding.​
2. MAINTAIN program.​
   Mimics the two-phased sucking of a healthy baby during established lactation (after “the milk has come in”): a fast rhythm at the start of each feed, to get the milk flowing (stimulation phase), then a slower, steady rhythm once milk is flowing (expression phase).​

While INITIATE is the right program for the first hours and days after delivery, MAINTAIN takes over from the moment your milk production starts. ​

More Milk​

Using the INITIATE program in the first few days of lactation has been shown to produce significantly more milk during the first 14 days compared to starting with standard pumping programs. According to research, you can pump up to 50% more milk within the first 14 days³ after birth when double pumping with INITIATE and MAINTAIN as indicated. ​

​What is more, the combination of double pumping with MAINTAIN’s  2-phase expression technology offers benefits throughout your whole breastfeeding journey⁵: ​

• You can pump more milk in less time now and in the long run​
• Your milk has a higher energy content – especially beneficial for premature babies​
• You can maintain your milk supply when direct breastfeeding is not possible​

Feeding your premature baby breast milk​

Whether a baby can be breastfed depends on many factors. If breastfeeding or exclusive breastfeeding is not possible, you can be supported in other ways to build up sufficient milk production so your baby can be fed with expressed breast milk.
