Freestyle™ FAQs
General Questions:
“Where can I buy Freestyle?”
Freestyle is currently available through select specialty baby stores, lactation consultants and hospitals.
“How is Freestyle different from other breastpumps?”
Freestyle is the first hands-free pump from Medela. Its small size, powerful performance and hands-free pumping accessories put it in a class of its own. Freestyle is designed for the pumping mom who wants the pumping performance of a double, daily-use pump and the flexibility to be mobile and hands-free while pumping.
“What is included in Freestyle?”
Freestyle includes: pump, pumping kit with SoftFit™ breastshields, 4 collection containers with lids, rechargeable battery, carry bag with removable cooler, cooling element, power cord, hands-free kit with two size straps and bra adapters, waist belt with extension piece, instructions and the Breastfeeding Information Guide.
“Can the Freestyle pumping kit and hands-free attachment be used on other Medela pumps?”
No. The Freestyle pumping kit (breastshield body, back cap, yellow membrane, and tubing) is designed for use with the Freestyle breastpump only. The hands-free attachment kit and waist belt are also for use only with the Freestyle pump.
“Is Freestyle right for me?”
Medela has great pumping options for all types of situations, including hospital-grade pumps (Symphony®), double-electric pumps (Pump In Style® Advanced and Freestyle), single-electric pumps (Swing™ and Single Deluxe) and manuals (Harmony™).
Freestyle is a double-electric, personal-use breastpump that is designed for daily use. What sets Freestyle apart, is its small size, long lasting rechargeable battery and optional hands-free accessories. Freestyle is the perfect choice for an active mom who wants her hands free while pumping to do other things and for the mom who pumps in variety of locations that don’t always have convenient power sources.
“Is a pump that small powerful enough for everyday use?”
Yes! Don’t be fooled by Freestyle’s small size. Freestyle is designed for daily use by moms with established milk supplies. It’s the perfect pump for moms who are pumping several times a day, whether at home or work. Freestyle contains Medela’s 2 Phase Expression® hospital technology that works more like your baby for more milk in less time. It also features the unique one touch let-down button.
“Can Freestyle be used by more than one mom?”
No. Freestyle is a single-user product designed for use by one mom. Use by more than one person may present a health risk and performance questions and voids the warranty.
“How long is the warranty?”
The Medela Freestyle is warranted by Medela, Inc. to the original purchaser to be free from defects in material and workmanship for the period of 1 year from the date of purchase. See the product package for more details.
