The single electric breast pump that ticks all the boxes

Mums are constantly in the search of the ideal breast pump that offers comfort, ease and functionality. Finding the right one can really be life-changing.

That’s where Medala’s new Solo™ Single Electric Breast Pump comes in. The next generation and enhanced version of Medala’s Swing™, the Solo was developed for mums who want comfort and practicality without compromising on effectiveness. Using 2-Phase Expression^® technology, the Solo mimics the baby’s natural sucking rhythm, while its adjustable PersonalFit Flex™ breast shield makes your pumping more comfortable, giving up to 11.8% more milk.

But what do real mums say about the Medela Solo? We asked a team of Tell Me Baby reviewers to try out the pump – and after giving it a 4.7 star rating out of 5, it’s safe to say they were impressed.

“It was easy to assemble”

Tell Me Baby reviewers all appreciated how simple and straightforward the Solo Single Electric Breast Pump was to put together.

“Putting the product together is super easy and you really don’t need the instructions,” said one parent. “Not having used an electric Medela pump before it was really easy and straight forward to understand how to get started.”

“I’m very impressed with this breast pump,” said another. “It was easy to assemble without looking at the instructions or finding a YouTube clip of how to make it work.”

Portable and fast charging

A busy mum needs an electric pump that’s compact, portable and and easy to charge. The Medala Solo was certainly up for the challenge – and offered satisfaction on every count.

“The Medela Solo is great for mums who are on the go as it can be used without needing to be plugged in and no fiddling around with batteries as this one has a battery built in!” said one reviewer. “This is a great plus for me as I can take it to work with me and pump while I’m out and about.”

Another busy parent said, “The most valuable feature of this pump was its portability and fast charging feature, honestly made my life so much easier!”

While another commented, “I am exclusively pumping, so when I read ‘built in-rechargeable battery’ my heart skipped a beat.”

“The breast shield is the comfiest I’ve ever come across”

Naturally you want a breast pump to feel light and comfortable, especially if it’s something you use on a regular basis. Comfort was a major feature for the Tell Me Baby community and one which the Solo certainly provided.

“The soft silicone on the breast piece made it so comfortable against my skin,” commented one parent. “It was very comfortable to use and the suction was very gentle.”

“I was so impressed with how comfortable the flange is on both breasts, the pump I used previously felt so bulky and uncomfortable,” said another. “Being light like it is, I could easily use my shirt to hold it in place while feeding my baby on the other side.”

Just like a baby

Many of the mums found the Solo’s unique 2-Phase Expression^® technology comfortable and incredibly effective during the pumping process. One reviewer said, “I love that it mimics baby’s rhythm, which I believe is the reason I was able to produce and pumped more milk than other pump brands.”

“I found I was able to pump quicker than other machines I have used,” said another. “I really like 2 phase expression technology, it mimics baby’s rhythm and seems more natural than any other pump I have used.”

And finally another parent made the comment, “The pump is soooo quiet which makes it easy to pump day or night without waking bub … or even the dogs!”

Definitely recommended

Overall, the parents who tested the Solo were more than satisfied and happy to recommend the product to others.

“I would recommend to first time mums if you are feeling overwhelmed with the breast pump choices as it is so easy to use and compact,” said one.

Finally another said, “It’s a great little pump and would definitely recommend to any new mum.”

And it doesn’t get much better than that!
