Medela is the world's leading breast pump brand — and for many breastfeeding mums, it's the first name that comes to mind when it's time to choose a pump. Founded in Switzerland in 1961, Medela is a global medical device company whose research and technology underpin the breast pumps used in hospitals and NICUs around the world. That same clinical expertise flows directly into their consumer range, making Medela the gold standard in breast pumping for everyday use at home.
What sets Medela apart is their 2-Phase Expression technology, which mimics a baby's natural sucking rhythm — starting with a faster, lighter stimulation phase to trigger let-down, then switching to a slower, deeper expression phase to draw out more milk in less time. This research-backed approach is designed to help mums express efficiently and comfortably, whether they're pumping occasionally or several times a day as a working or exclusively pumping parent.
The Medela range covers every pumping need. The Harmony manual pump is compact and quiet — ideal for occasional use or travel. The Swing Flex single electric pump suits mums who express regularly but want something portable and lightweight. For those who pump frequently or need maximum output, the Swing Maxi Flex double electric pump offers hands-free flexibility. Beyond pumps, Medela's breastfeeding range includes breast pads, nipple shields, Purelan lanolin nipple cream, milk storage bags, bottles, and cooler bags — everything needed to support a full breastfeeding and pumping journey.
