As a result of its comprehensive research
work, Medela is one of the rst com -
pa nies in the world to incorporate babies
breastfeeding behaviour into its 2-Phase
Expression and Calma innovations.
2-Phase Expression mimics the babys
natural sucking rhythm to express
more milk in less time. Short, stimulating
patterns are followed by longer ones,
providing optimal milk ow.
The uni que Calma breastmilk feeding
device allows the baby to pause and
breathe during feeding whilst maintaining
the suckling behaviour learned at the
breast. Deve lo ped for a great breast-
feeding experience.
