Medela Harmony Manual Breast Pump

Description:

The Medela Harmony is a lightweight, manual breast pump designed for occasional use—perfect for travel, short outings, or as a backup to an electric pump. It incorporates Medela’s proven 2‑Phase Expression™ technology, which simulates a baby’s natural suckling pattern to enhance milk flow and efficiency. The pump features the PersonalFit Flex™ breast shield, with a soft-rimmed, oval shape and 105° opening angle, clinically shown to increase comfort and milk output compared to traditional shields

Key Features:

• 2‑Phase Expression™ handle—the short side for initial stimulation (let‑down), and the long side for steady milk expression

• PersonalFit Flex™ breast shield (105° oval design) for better fit, less duct pressure, and improved milk yield

• Closed system—prevents milk from entering pump mechanisms

• Compact & lightweight—quiet and portable; fits easily in a handbag

• Easy to assemble and clean—minimal parts, dishwasher safe
