How to Use Medela Freestyle Flex Breast Pump
The Medela Freestyle Flex Portable Double Electric Breast Pump is designed for convenience, portability, and efficiency. Here’s a clear step-by-step guide for proper use:
Step 1: Preparation
-
Wash your hands thoroughly before handling the pump.
-
Assemble the pump parts (breast shields, connectors, bottles, tubing) as instructed in the manual.
-
Ensure all parts are clean and dry before use.
Step 2: Positioning
-
Sit comfortably and place the PersonalFit Flex breast shields (choose 21mm or 24mm size) on your breasts.
-
Make sure the shields fit snugly to create a proper seal for effective suction.
Step 3: Power On
-
Press the touchscreen power button to turn on the pump.
-
Adjust suction strength and rhythm using the digital display.
-
The pump uses 2-Phase Expression Technology:
-
Stimulation Phase: Fast, light suction to encourage milk let-down.
-
Expression Phase: Slower, deeper suction to maximize milk flow.
-
Step 4: Pumping
-
Relax and allow the pump to work for 15–20 minutes or until milk flow slows.
-
You can pump from both breasts simultaneously for efficiency.
-
Monitor your session on the touchscreen display or via the Medela Family app (Bluetooth connectivity).
Step 5: After Pumping
-
Turn off the pump and carefully remove the breast shields.
-
Seal bottles with lids and store milk immediately in the refrigerator or cooler bag.
-
Disassemble and wash all parts that come into contact with breast milk.
Step 6: Charging & Portability
-
Recharge the lithium-ion battery using the USB cable.
-
A full charge lasts up to 2 hours of pumping, making it ideal for on-the-go use.
-
Store the pump in its carry bag for easy portability.
