Are you expecting your first child and planning on pumping? Are you a mom that already has a breast pump and either wants a new one or your old one isn’t pumping up to par? Medela now has this amazing small, light weight, hands free breast pump. It’s called the freestyle. The features on this are incredible. Lets start with the size and weight, the motor weighs less than 1 pound and can fit in the palm of your hand. It has a great 2-Phase Expression® technology which allows you to get more milk in less time, as soon as you feel the let down just press the button. The LCD screen, digital displays a timer, battery indicator and current vacuum setting. The Memory button — allows mom to save her favorite pumping pattern for ease and efficiency for the next pumping session. The last great feature is the tote bag.
