Symphony Plus is Medela's latest innovation in hospital-grade electric double pumps. With breakthrough 2-Phase Expression pumping, Symphony Plus is proven to reduce pumping time through faster let-down and milk flow and remove as much milk as a breatfeeding baby. Symphony Plus implements the results of extensive research on electric breastpumps initiated by medela and conducted by internationally renowned lactation researcher Peter hartmann, Ph.D. The Symphony Plus is the same breastpump as the Medela Symphony Electric Breast Pump except it includes a rechargeable battery for portability and ease of use.

The Medela Professional Symphony Electric Breast Pump is the first breast pump with Natural Expression, which encompasses a two phase pumping action that offers a rapid rhythm to enhance the "Let-Down" method of breastfeeding and then reduces to a slower, deeper rhythm for efficient milk expression. The Medela Symphony electric breast pump includes a pumping program with options for both automatic and manual switching between pumping phases, all to help moms' needs.

The pumping programs are stored on a program card, which enable the programs to be utilized in the future. Also for moms' convenience, another unique feature is the one knob which combines vacuum level and the number of cycles per minute during the expression phase. This will enable moms to switch between single and double pumping simply by adding or removing the second pump collection set. In addition, the membrane separates the pump collection set from the pump mechanism to ensure overflow protection without compromising vacuum capacity.

The LCD Display indicates the pumping phase, vacuum level, battery status, and other handling and service information. The Medela, aptly named the professional symphony, allows for a quiet and soothing symphony which will never distract or encumber this special time with your baby.

Medela products are not only durable, but touted as being the best quality in breast pumping products today. This is the reason why it is rated number one among stay-at-home moms, working moms, and moms who are constantly on the go. It is easy to use, comfortable, effective, gentle to use, and affords moms the opportunity to spend quality time with their babies and establish a breast pumping routine from the outset.

Check out the Medela Professional Symphony Electric Breast Pump and give you and your baby the opportunity to become one of the many hundreds of women who are singing the praises of this special product.

Medela has always been committed to enhancing mother's and baby's health through the life giving benefits of human milk, and that is why they are pleased to introduce the Medela Professional Symphony Electric Breast Pump With Preemie Card. The Medela Professional Symphony Electric Breast Pump With Preemie Card is a major breakthrough in breastpumping for mothers of premature infants. .

Recently, Paula Meier, RN, DNS, FAAN and her team from Rush University Medical Center (RUMC) conducted a blinded randomized clinical trial of 105 breastpump dependent mothers of premature infants using the Symphony Preemie+ 1.0 program and Standard 2.0 program. This pioneering research of pumping patterns for mothers of premature infants provided impressive results.

The Evidence is Overwhelming. The clinical trial showed that the combination of the Symphony Preemie+ 1.0 program and the Standard 2.0 program produced significantly more milk in less time compared to the Standard 2.0 alone:

* By day 6, mothers achieved as much milk as mothers of exclusively breastfeeding term infants (530 ml)
* By day 10, mothers achieved 71% more milk output
* By day 14, 36% more mothers achieved the milk output target of > 350 ml/day post birth
* More than twice the number of mothers achieved the milk output target of 500 ml/day
* On average, mothers pumped 124 fewer minutes during the first 14 days

To make it convenient and easier to use, Medela combined the Symphony Preemie+ 1.0 program and the Standard 2.0 program onto one easy to use program card - The Medela Professional Symphony Preemie+. This allows mothers of premature infants to use one pump to initiate and maintain her milk supply.
