2-Phase Expression technology
During a feeding session, babies start by using short, fast sucks to stimulate the Milk Ejection Reflex. Once the milk begins to flow, babies change to a slower, individual rhythm. Medela’s 2-Phase Expression®® technology mimics baby’s natural sucking rhythms – faster to stimulate milk flow, then slower to provide optimal milk flow.

Can I turn my single breast pump into a double?

Double pumping not only saves you time by making pumping twice as fast, but also gives you up to 18% more milk4.4.
