Building and maintaining a stable milk supply can be a challenging and intensive period for young mothers. When pumping is difficult or feels uncomfortable, this can cause unnecessary stress and uncertainty in your daily routine. An optimal fit and efficient operation are essential to make this process as natural and relaxed as possible. The Medela Symphony Double Breast Pump Set Size S (21 mm) offers the desired, reliable support by combining technology and comfort, so that you can focus entirely on the well-being of your baby.
Key benefits
- Higher milk yield: Delivers a clinically proven 11% more milk compared to standard breast pump sets, allowing you to finish pumping more efficiently and quickly.
- Better breast emptying: Ensures 4% better emptying of your breasts, which contributes to the maintenance and stimulation of your milk supply.
- Optimal comfort and fit: The oval breast shield has a wider opening angle of 105° and can be rotated 360°, so that the shield fits perfectly to the shape of your breast without compressing milk ducts.
- Hygienic and safe design: Equipped with a built-in overflow protection that prevents breast milk from flowing back into the pump, so you can pump in a relaxed position.
- Easy maintenance: The updated connector consists of fewer and larger parts, which makes cleaning, assembling and sterilising significantly easier.
How it works
The Medela Symphony Double Breast Pump Set has been carefully composed to match the professional Symphony breast pump, which is known from hospitals and frequently used at home. By double pumping with this set, not only is the pumping time halved, but the obtained breast milk also has a higher fat content. The breast shield is connected to the breast pump via the connector, after which a gentle vacuum is applied to the breast to initiate the milk flow and direct the milk directly to a collection unit. Thanks to the innovative 105° opening angle, the milk flows more freely, which supports the natural let-down reflex.

Assembly and use:

Choosing the right size PersonalFit PLUS breast shield:
Your breast shield size may change during the period you are pumping. The breast shield must fit well at all times during this period. A well-fitting breast shield helps to prevent the compression of milk ducts during pumping, so that the breast is emptied as well as possible and a maximum amount of milk is pumped. With a well-fitting breast shield, the nipple is in the centre with enough space to move freely.
Safety & Disclaimer
- The breast shield is intended for personal use by only one person. It must not be used by multiple mothers.
- Use only original Medela accessories. Inspect before each use. Replace mouldy, damaged or worn parts.
- Never leave the packaging and parts unattended. Keep out of reach of children.
- Pressing shields too firmly onto the breasts can affect milk flow.
- Consult a lactation consultant in case of problems or pain.
