Our YouTube Debut - Medela Symphony Breast Pump

We're starting video series to explain common questions that new moms have.  Our first video is about how to put together all of the pump parts for your Medela Symphony hospital-grade pump - from the membrane caps, to the tubing, to the breastshields and bottles.  All those little parts can be a bit confusing, especially when you're a sleep-deprived new mom!  So watch the video and see how everything fits together!



We rent out the Medela Symphony hospital-grade pumps on a weekly or monthly basis. Rental pumps are only $75 per month. We also sell all of the extra parts including (but not limited to) tubing, bottles, freezer bags, etc. Whatever questions you have about your pump, come on in and we'll help you out!

If you have more questions about milk supply, how to manage pumping & going back to work, etc, come in for our Breastfeeding & Pumping Support Group on Tuesday mornings at 10am. Only $10 for drop-in!

We're also going to be making some videos about how to use the different baby carriers (Moby Wrap, Ergo, BECO, Baby K'Tan, etc).  If you have any other questions that are easier explained through demonstration, comment below and we'll add it to our video series!

How do I clean my Medela pump tubing?

We get a lot of moms coming in asking about cleaning their Medela breastpump tubing , whether for the Symphony hospital-grade rental pump , the Medela Freestyle pump or for the personal-grade Pump In Style Advanced breastpump. One thing to note, milk shouldn't normally be going into your Medela tubing when you pump.  If you see milk coming back into the tubing, make sure of two things: 1. Your pumping bottles are upright while you're pumping and 2. Your valves and membranes are attached fully, and that they don't have any holes or cuts.  Only air is supposed to go through the tubes. Every time after you pump, disconnect (and clean) all of your pump parts, but leave the tubing connected. Let your pump keep running for another 5-10 minutes with just the tubing connected - this will usually get rid of any little bit of milk or condensation. If you do see some milk in your tubing after letting the pump run, you can clean your tubes by: 1. Holding the tubing upright ...

More Milk Plus & More Milk Special Blend

Many breastfeeding moms worry about whether or not they are making enough milk for their new baby.  One thing that you can do to help with improving your milk supply is to take the More Milk supplements from Motherlove .  But which of the different supplements to take? First Decision - Capsules vs. Liquid Drops - Moms tend to agree that the liquid drops taste horrible!  So most people do buy the capsules, for ease and convenience. - But the liquid drops are slightly more effective because the herbs are able to get into your system faster and more directly, so if you can handle the taste, you might want to buy the liquid. Second Decision - More Milk Plus vs. Special Blend - Both the More Milk Plus and the More Milk Special Blend contain fenugreek seed, blessed thistle, nettle, and fennel seed - all of which are galactagogue (or milk-increasing) herbs.  The More Milk Plus works for most women whose milk supply has decreased due to growth spurts, separation, il...
