Love this with the pumping bra quick and efficient

published

Easy to use portable if you pair it with the pumping bra can still do work etc
I use it with the tommee tippee express and go bags with adapter and it has just taken this pump to another level.
I have used many pumps over 5 kids and this current set up the freestyle plus tommee tippee express and go kit I wish it was around 9 years ago!

Great product all round

Exactly what you need in a breast pump. Efficient, comfortable, easy to use and does the job. It wasnt too loud either which is great when you have a sleeping baby next to you. I also liked that it was portable!
The only negative would have to be the fact that milk would spill out when i would lean forward too much (eg. to pick up baby), but that was a fault of my own (would be great is the design did allow for this though).

Efficient pump, like the colour

published

I got the double Madela Freestyle at a Sydney baby expo. It was the best looking one I can find while I was shopping around. The pump is on the expensive side but it does a great job. I also brought the pumping bra and it’s great that I get to walk around while pumping. Although it’s hard to avoid milk getting onto the bra when I take the pump away. So it’s recommended to invest two of those bra but they are not cheap.

Do not waste your money for medela freestyle

published

If i can i would give 0 star for medela freestyle, expensive and useless it is not powerful even you use for single pump and worse when you use for double pump. Don’t waste your money!! I end up buy new pump which it cheaper and much better recommend for spectra s1 and if you want smaller size Breast pump go for unimom minuet. I am so regret that i bought medela freestyle from the first place.

Great pump

published

My daughter was born at 32 Weeks so I was pumping every 3 hours from home and whilst at the hospital. I found that I loved the ease of double electric pumping but I would recommend buying a pumping br as well to maximize your ability to complete other chores whilst pumping.

The suction was good and although I had an oversupply it still pulled out so much milk. Only pump I’ve ever owned so can’t comment against others.

Not worth the money

published

This week I purchased the medela freestyle as I was in need of a double pump. It works great......as a single pump! As a double it is absolutely shocking. I have gone through all the trouble shooting, pulled apart and put back together, tried running on battery or mains but there is barely any suction on one side. It doesn't even suck strong enough to get a single drop out of one side, yet is perfectly fine on the other? I wish I had read the reviews and purchased another brand as it seems I'm not the only one with this problem and not one person has had it resolved so that they can effectively use it as a double, just a ridiculously overpriced single

I love this breast pump!! I previously bought the spectra S2 which didn't work for me at all as it wouldn't drain my breasts, so I purchased the Medela freestyle from baby bunting and it has been able to empty my breasts so much better and quicker.
I love that it has a rechargeable battery, I love that if I need spare parts then I can just pop down to my local chemist and I love how easy it is to use. The only downside is the price as it is quite expensive so I would suggest trying to wait for a sale before purchasing.

A worthwhile investment

published

I did a fair bit of research prior to purchasing this breast pump and although it is expensive, it is worth every cent and many friends with the same one agree. The quality is high and the pumping power is great, especially being a double. I recommend getting the bra that goes with it so you can be hands free. The one I purchased came with bottles, a carry bag and some milk storage bags so everything I needed was there from day one.

This has been my lifeline!

So impressed with my freestyle pump.
Thanks to this amazingly versitile and gentle pump I have been able to express feed my 10 month old since 5 days old!
A big Thankyou to Medela for giving me the option to still provide breastmilk for my baby even with latching issues!!!!!
I had an issue with suction so took it back to baby buntings and they replaced it on the spot.
SO HAPPY WITH THIS PRODUCT!

Great Pump

published

The medal double freestyle is so easy and comfortable to use. When you are exclusively pumping like I was having the convenience of a double pump was absolutely priceless when you have a newborn. It is easy to clean and transport and I will definetly be using this pump again

Awesome pump

published

I find the Medela freestyle very easy to use. Double pumping ensures I get more milk compared to single. It’s easy to disassemble and clean and the programmable function is very helpful. I use this daily up to 2/3 times and the battery lasts a considerable time before needing to be recharged.

Pretty good most of the time

published

I found it quite comfortable to use the freestyle. The double pumping ability saves so much time! The reason we chose this pump over the swing was the ability to recharge the battery and the memory function. I typically use the prodigy for about 15 minutes at a time and can use it for at least 10 sessions before I need to recharge.

Chrisasked

Can this be used as one pump at a time or does both have to be used together?

Yes, I think so. Use plastic wrap between shield and breastshield connector. Then you can transfer Freestyle to a single pump

Mandy Y

Yes, it can be used either one pump or two pumps.

Medela
Medela A.Medela

Hi Chris, yes the Freestyle can easily be converted from a double to a single pump and back again simply by unplugging the tubing from one of the pump connectors and plugging it into the square shaped adaptor in the centre of the tubing. This needs to be done to regulate the vacuum otherwise it will be lost out of the side not being used. Thank you Medela Australia.
