Medela Freestyle Hands-Free breast Pumps FAQs
Do you have to be sitting or can you be more active?
Freestyle Hands-free breast pump features in-bra collection cups for multi-tasking and comes with an internal rechargeable battery, so you don’t have to be plugged into a wall while using. Whether you choose to pump while sitting, walking around or tending to your baby Freestyle Hands-free allows you both options. However, the cups are not designed to be used while bending completely or during intense exercise as there is an opening (pouring spout) at the top of the cups through which milk could spill out.
Do I need a special bra to be able to use the hands-free collection cups?
A special bra is not required when using the Freestyle Hands-free collection cups. The cups are designed to fit into most nursing bras.
Do you have control of suction in stimulation and expression? Â
Freestyle Hands-free is designed with Medela’s research-based 2-Phase Expression technology. In both stimulation and expression phases, mum can choose up to 9 levels of vacuum.
When cups are full can you empty them and then keep pumping?Â
Yes! When the cups are full mum can pause the pumping by pressing the play/pause button on the display, pour the expressed milk into a breast milk-safe collection bottle or storage bag and continue her pumping session. Freestyleâ„¢ Hands-free collection cups hold 150ml / 5oz of breastmilk each.   Â
