Check out our Medela Pump Review for more information.

For moms who intend to breastfeed all the time, small manual breast pumps may seem unnecessary, but it is always good to have something lightweight and compact on hand, especially when travelling. Most moms will run into situations where they need to express their milk for their own comfort. This pump is especially recommended for moms who travel: for use either as a backup for a double electric pump or on its own if you are not a frequent pumper.

Light and discreet

Harmony is a manual pump so it does not require electricity or batteries for operation and is almost silent. Its smooth operation will pleasantly surprise you when you start pumping. This is a very lightweight pump that fits easily into a handbag.

Simple and elegant design

Harmony’s ergonomic design is intuitive and allows for very easy use. It is very simple to take apart and clean. The handle on the Medela Harmony manual breast pump has been designed to twist, so you can always get the best angle to pump the milk without having to move your arms into an uncomfortable position. The lever has a soft rubber cover that makes pumping a little easier on your hands and helps the pump operate quietly.

2-Phase Expression technology

Harmony is one of the few manual pumps in the world featuring 2-Phase Expression technology. The breast pump simulates the natural baby sucking behaviour at the mother's breast.

The 2-Phase design simply means that to stimulate let down (when your milk begins to flow) you begin pumping with the shorter side of the pump’s handle which creates a faster sucking cycle, similar to that of a hungry baby. Once milk starts to flow, you switch to the longer side of the handle which creates a slower sucking cycle to express the majority of your milk.

It is one of the few manual pumps in the world featuring 2-Phase Expression technology. It is small, lightweight and easy to transport.
