Medela Swing™ Maxi - Double Electric 2-Phase Breastpump with Calma Solitaire
Medela's new double electric breast pump Swing Maxi is a small, compact and portable pump which is perfect for daily and frequently pumping. The Swing Maxi with 2-Phase Expression is the only research -based breast pump technology which mimics baby's natural nursing rhythm. Double pumping with 2-Phase Expression gives you more milk with a higher energy content in less time.
The pump contains 9 different vacuum levels for maximum comfort and can be mains or battery operated. The Swing Maxi breastpump can also be used as a single pump.
The breastpump comes with a 24 mm PersonalFit breastshield and the Calma Solitaire teat that mimics the unique breastfeeding sucking behaviour of a baby. It enables the baby to pause and breathe regularly therefore helping to maintain their naturally learned behaviour at the breast.
With Calma, babies do not have to change their natural feeding behaviour. Whether you breastfeed or use Calma--the milk only flows when the baby applies vacuum. Breastfeeding is always best for your baby, but sometimes it is not possible to breastfeed naturally. Calma provides a solution to this.
Medela has invented 2-Phase Expression which is the only research--based breast pump technology that mimics a baby’s natural nursing rhythm. Similar to a nursing baby, 2-Phase breastpumps mimic a baby's natural sucking behaviour.
First, a fast pumping rhythm to stimulate the milk ejection reflex and to start the milk flowing. This phase is named stimulation. Then, a slower pumping rhythm to express milk gently and efficiently. This phase is named expression.
Through intensive and pioneering work, Medela has converted the baby's intuitive knowledge into technological know-how. The result is 2-Phase Expression - the new standard for unsurpassed naturalness, comfort and efficiency in breastpumps.
Every mother needs her individual breastshield size. This is important to have an efficient pumping session without pain and to completely empty the breast in a shorter period of time. Therefore Medela offers 5 different sizes of its PersonalFit breastshields.

Breastfeeding Benefits
Breastfeeding is one of the most natural and beneficial activities for mother and baby. There is no other single action by which a mother can so dramatically impact the present and future health of her baby.
No formula can duplicate the unique properties of breastmilk, no matter how many vitamins, minerals and supplements are added to what is basically a chemical formulation.
Breastmilk is the one and only natural, complete and complex nutrition for human infants. Just as importantly, breastfeeding promotes an exceptional bond between mother and baby that only a mother can provide.

Tips for freezing/thawing breastmilk:
Do not store breastmilk in the door of the refrigerator. Instead choose the coldest part of the refrigerator (this is at the back of the glass shelf above the vegetable compartment).
You can freeze expressed breastmilk in milk bottles or "Pump & Save"* bags. Do not fill the bottles or bags more than 3/4 full to allow space for possible expansion.
Label the bottles or "Pump & Save" bags with the date of expression.
Do not thaw frozen breastmilk or do not warm breastmilk in a microwave or a pan of boiling water to avoid loss of vitamins, minerals and other important components and to prevent burns.
ln order to preserve the components of the breastmilk, thaw the milk in the refrigerator overnight. Alternatively, you can hold the bottle or "Pump & Save" bag under warm water (max. 37 ° C).
Gently swirl the bottle or "Pump & Save" bag to mix any fat that has separated. Avoid shaking or stirring the milk.
With the B-Well bottle warmer, it is possible to warm breastmilk in a gentle way.
