Mom dreams about a good night’s sleep the minute her belly becomes larger than a bump. After baby is born, the challenge to sleep steepens. So, Medela created the Sleep Bra to help simplify the evening breastfeeding process for nursing moms.
The Medela Sleep Bra is designed to keep nursing pads in place to avoid nighttime leaks and the drawback cup allows for convenient middle of the night feedings. It’s made from soothing combed cotton with a no-tag design to ensure mom’s comfort. (Available in sizes: S, M, L, XL).
“Many new moms worry about how to make nighttime nursing work,” said Anne Ng’ang’a, product manager of intimate apparel from Medela. “The Sleep Bra offers moms a comfortable solution: the support they need to sleep well, plus a drawback cup for quick and easy access during feedings.”

Babies instinctively start breastfeeding with a faster suck to stimulate let-down, and once milk is flowing they switch to a slower deeper suck. This is the basis for Medela’s 2-Phase Expression® technology, which can be found in Medela’s Symphony, Pump In Style Advanced, Swing and Harmony breastpumps. Because pumps with 2-Phase Expression feel more like baby, mom gets more milk in less time.

I learned that 93% of breastfeeding moms use a breastpump. I had no idea. Not sure how I’ve been in the dark about that one, since I’ve nursed 3 of my own for a total of 4 years of bf’ing time. I’ve only pumped for a few days, for my jaundiced baby who was too lethargic to suckle. Hmmm.

You should wait at least 4 weeks to give a baby a pumped bottle. I would have thought it would have been a lot less than that.
