Pumping Saves Time, While Increasing Milk-Producing Hormone Mothers who are able to double pump will reap the benefits of time saved during pumping, as well as maintain lactation during separations from baby. Double pumping also may increase prolactin, the milk-producing hormone. Because Medela kits are interchangeable, you can upgrade to double pumping. The new DoubleEase Breastpump and CarryAll from Medela offer the convenience of double pumping for mothers who need to pump during short-term separations from baby. The DoubleEase has an advanced motor design for quiet operation, and features more convenient selective controls, enhanced ease of use, and complete portability.
Adjustable vacuum lets mothers set the pump to a level that is comfortable and within safe limits.
The DoubleEase can be operated by electricity, or by two C batteries. A manual pump for short-term separations. Medela's new ManualEase breastpump has a smaller, more efficient design that reduces by 50 percent the effort needed to operate the pump. Six vacuum settings allow mothers to adjust the pump to the level that's most comfortable. Since the pump can be mounted on a table, or held in a mother's hand, pumping can be done in a variety of positions, and even allows another family member to be included in the breastfeeding experience by doing the pumping for her.
