Medela Symphony Hospital Breast Pump Rental

The Medela Symphony is an award winning, Swiss designed hospital breast pump approved for multiple users.

The Medela Symphony is the hospital choice brand for over 80% of  hospitals across Canada.  Many lactation consultants, nurses, physicians and midwives recommend the Medela Symphony breast pump for moms who are struggling to initiate breast milk supply, maintain breast milk supply, increase breast milk supply, or are struggling with mastitis and engorgement.  Mom's that have twins or multiples or premature and sick infants are also recommended the Medela Symphony breast pump.

Why is this pump the best for initiating, maintaining and increasing breast milk supply?

Some of the reasons that make this pump the leading choice are the following:

1) Very strong double piston motor which allows for more efficient, faster and more comfortable pumping

2) Two phase research based technology that mimics the baby at the breast

     The first phase helps stimulate milk and mimics a baby's "quick suckling"-120 cycles/min

      The second phase allows for easy expression of milk and mimics a baby's "longer suck swallow and pause" cycle.

3) Customized preset programs based on your unique need:

Initiation program to help moms initiate and set up breasts for long term breastfeeding.  Typically used during the first six days to a month of breastfeeding

Maintenance program which mom can graduate to once their breast milk supply is successfully initiated. 

**Please note a personal breast pump kit is required to use the rental breast pump.  The personal breast pump kit is yours to keep allows this pump to be used between moms.

The Medela Symphony breast pump is designed for rental use and frequent, daily pumping.

It is also recommended for use under special circumstances including when pumping:

• For premature or sick infants
• For twins or other multiples

Our recommendation is to try out the Medela Symphony consistently for at least two weeks.   For most women, a few days of use or even a week is not adequate time to increase breast milk supply.  This is because the stimulation offered by the pump allows the breasts to increase the number of glands producing breast milk.   This stimulation has to be frequent and continuous over at least 2 weeks.  This increases the chances for increased milk production and successful pumping sessions.
