Medela Harmony Manual Breast Pump, On-the-Go, More Milk Output

About this item

• #1 BEST-SELLING MANUAL BREAST PUMP: When the electric pump stays home, Harmony slips in your bag and keeps you covered. Light and quiet, no cords or batteries, this Medela hand pump is always ready for a quick session on the go.
• MORE MILK, MORE COMFORT: Get more breastmilk in less time with Medela’s PersonalFit Flex shield. The shield has a soft, oval rim that rotates 360 degrees to fit you, easing pressure so milk flows more freely and you draw out more in every gentle session.
• 2-PHASE EXPRESSION INSPIRED BY YOUR BABY: The ergonomic handle lets you switch easily between stimulation and expression, while mimicking your baby´s rhythm – quick movements to trigger your letdown, then a slower, deeper pull to draw out your milk fast but gently.
• EASY TO USE: Fewer parts mean this manual breast pump is simple to assemble, intuitive to use, and quick to clean. Its parts are dishwasher safe so cleanup is one less thing on your mind.
• PUMP AND STORE, TRULY PORTABLE: Express straight into the BPA-free 5 oz / 150 ml bottle, twist on the lid, and pop it in the cooler or the fridge. A truly portable solution for the days you need to be on the move.
• BACKED BY THE BRAND HOSPITALS TRUST: Medela is the #1 breast pump brand trusted by hospitals, with 60+ years of breastfeeding research behind every comfortable, powerful, compact, and easy pumping session. Trusted by millions of moms like you.
• INCLUDES: (1) Medela Harmony pump with ergonomic handle; (1) diaphragm set (stem & O-ring); (1) connector & valve; (2) membranes; (1) 24mm PersonalFit Flex breast shield (M); (1) 150 ml bottle with lid; (1) bottle stand; (1) instruction manual

Important Information

• Do not hold the pump by the bottle. This can lead to engorgement and blockage of the milk ducts.
• Only fill the bottle to the 150 mL mark.
• Contact your healthcare professional or breastfeeding specialist if you can express only minimal or no milk, or if expression is painful.

Directions

1. Start Pumping with Stimulation

Using your thumb, press down the smaller part of the handle. This is the part with the milk drops on top.

Press and release quickly, again and again, until your milk starts to flow.

2. Switch to Expression

Once your milk starts to flow, switch to expression.

With your fingers, press down the lower, longer part of the handle. By doing so, you build up a vacuum that facilitates milk flow.

You control the level of the vacuum with the speed of the handle stroke and the compression that is created.

Choose the pumping rhythm that feels most comfortable and effective for you.

3. Stop Pumping

Stop pumping when:

• You feel that the milk is no longer flowing, or
• The bottle is full.

Product Description

Medela Harmony is the #1 best-selling manual breast pump in the USA. It combines an ergonomic handle for 2-Phase Expression and the unique PersonalFit Flex breast shield that makes your pumping sessions more comfortable and effective. An intuitive and light weight design. Some days you just need a pump you can grab and go. The Medela Harmony breast pump is the manual BPA-free hand pump made for exactly those moments, light, quiet, and ready whenever you are, with no cords, no batteries, and nothing to plug in. Comfort without compromising milk output. Harmony’s PersonalFit Flex breast shield (24mm) has a soft, oval rim that rotates to fit your body, easing pressure so pumping feels comfortable from the first session. This thoughtfully designed shield helps you get more milk than breast pumps with traditional shields. The ergonomic handle sits naturally in one hand, and features a special 2-Phase Expression design that lets you mimic your baby’s natural nursing rhythm, a quick motion to start your breast milk flowing, then a slower, fuller pull to express. Have full control over your own rhythm. Express straight into the 5 oz / 150 ml bottle, and when you are done, twist on the lid, and store. Made without BPA and built from soft, food-grade materials, Harmony comes apart in seconds, has few parts to clean, and is dishwasher safe, so you are ready to go again when you need it. Light enough to live in your bag, it is the portable, on-the-go backup that travels to work, daycare, or the next room. Behind it is Medela, the #1 breast pump brand used in hospitals with 60+ years of breastfeeding research and millions of moms who have been right where you are.
