Thank you for choosing the Freestyle breastpump. Breastmilk is the natural choice for yourbaby, but there are reasons and situations where breastfeeding is not possible. For over 50 years, it has been Medela’s conviction that these mothers and babies can be supported.
In close co-operation with breastfeeding experts, Medela, one of the market leaders, has researched and  developed breastpumps that perfectly meet breastfeeding mothers needs. For mothers who insist on the best for their babies and themselves. «Because you
care».

W00hy Freestyle™ ?

Freestyle is the best solution, if you have little time and want to pump efficiently and effectively and remain flexible and mobile.
The double pump with the innovative 2-Phase technology encourages milk production and is proven to give you more milk, in less time. Vacuum can be adjusted for your comfort and a cleverly designed memory function enables you to recall your personal pumping rhythm each time you pump. Freestyle is compact and easily transported: it will become an inseparable companion when you are separated from your baby.

What is 2-Phase Expression® ?
Medela has been the first company worldwide to deeply research babies and their feeding behaviour. The results have led to the development of the 2 -Phase-ExpressionTechnology. 2-Phase-Expression is based on the natural sucking rhythm of the baby: Short, stimulating movements (Stimulation) are followed by longer, more intensive ones (Expression), ensuring an optimal milkflow.Thus, more milk  can  be expressed in a shorter time  and more comfortably.

Freestyle is an electric/ battery powered breastpump for supporting breastfeeding mothers.
Freestyle is ideal:

  1. To help overcome mother or baby breastfeeding problems
    – Support mother of babies with feeding difficulties (cleft lip/palate, prematurity or neurological problems)
    – Enhance flat or inverted nipples
