Breastfeeding Is Best

With the upcoming arrival of your new baby, there are many decisions to be made - none more important than deciding which form of nutrition is best for your baby.

Countless government, professional and private associations agree that breastfeeding is best because both the act of breastfeeding and breastmilk itself have proven to deliver powerful benefits to your baby that he or she simply can't get from anywhere else. For instance:

• Breastfeeding helps the baby's immune system    mature.
• Breastfeeding protects against developing chronic    diseases.
• Breastfed infants have fewer and shorter    episodes of illness.
• The superior nutrition provided by breastmilk    benefits your baby's IQ.
• The skin-to-skin contact encouraged by    breastfeeding offers babies greater emotional    security and enhances bonding.
• The activity of sucking at the breast enhances    development of baby’s oral muscles, facial    bones, and aids in optimal dental development.

That's why Medela is dedicated to helping moms successfully breastfeed their babies for as long as they choose. Medela has all of the breastfeeding products a nursing mother needs including pumps, storage and feeding products.
