A Couple Extra Reasons Why You Cannot Help But Love The One And Only Medela Pump In Style Breast Pump.


The Pump In Style comes with a built-in insulated chamber with zipper enclosure. The partition stores up to 20-ounces of breast milk. 3-rectangular cooling packs keep the breast milk cold for hours and are great storage containers. Medela includes 20-CSF collection bags for storing, which I bought separately. There are measurement indicators in both milliliters, and ounces. Labels are included additionally, so the date can be recorded. You should not keep full bags in the insulated compartment as it has the potential for making a gigantic mess. They should go right to the freezer or the refrigerator. I didn't like the twist tie assembly, so I use them for storage of frozen breast milk. The bags are durable and they freeze well; although, I had a difficult time propping them up so they wouldn't fall.

Breast milk can be stored in the refrigerator or in the freezer, depending on your specific needs. Freshly expressed milk may stand at room temperature for up to 4-hours. It is always advisable to keep fresh breast milk refrigerated. Breast milk will stay drinkable in the refrigerator for up to a week. One may store expressed milk in a self-contained freezer for up to 4-months, and up to 1-year in a deep freezer. You can defrost it in the refrigerator, in a bottle warmer, or at the tap. Absolutely do not re-freeze thawed breast milk.

Portability
The Medela Pump In Style is a working moms dream. One can pump at work, and store in the refrigerator, or in the included insulator. Altogether, the whole unit weighs 7-lbs. Not too heavy, but when filled with 3-frozen ice packs, and 4-full bottles it could weigh up to 12 pounds. The battery pack is brilliant for on-the-go pumping, but it goes through batteries straight away, so I did not use it much. Oh, and on the road pumping with the vehicle lighter adapter is available for sale for an additional fee. I would have definitely invested in one had I known about it.

In evaluating this breast pump, there are infinite positives, though it's truly difficult for me to find negatives. Therefore, I believe the benefits outweigh any undesirable points. If asked to present a con, I would suggest the following. On occasion, breast milk will leak into the tubing. This isn't a huge concern. If preserved breast milk is discovered in the tubes, then sterilize them by boiling in a pan of water. Hang the tubing out to air dry. So I found it best to sit up straight when pumping. For me, this pump was a way for me to offer my son breast milk on my busy schedule, so I surely vouch for it!
