About Medela
------------
In almost 40 years, Medela has developed from a one man
distribution company to a global producer of the most
technologically advanced pumps and feeding
accessories – which have been used by millions of mothers and
their babies worldwide.
Throughout its history, Medela has been pushing the boundaries to
create safe, efficient and best-selling products: Medela
introduced the world’s first quality manual pump in 1983,
and the world’s first phototherapy system for the of
neonatal jaundice which was small enough to be placed in a baby’s
cot, in 1994. More recently, Medela introduced the 2-Phase
Expression Technology, the world’s only research-based
pump technology that mimics a baby’s natural sucking rhythm,
resulting in getting mothers more milk in less time. A key aspect
of Medela’s past and present success is a relentless focus on
research-based medical technology – which will insure, on an
on-going base, innovations in the fields of feeding,
phototherapy and "care".

milk
----------
feeding is one of the most beautiful experiences for mother
and child. milk contains all the important ents and
antibodies for a baby to thrive. feeding helps the baby to
build up his own immune system. There is no other nourishment
which has the specific contents for a new-born. For this reason,
the World Organization (WHO), midwives and lactation
consultants as well as Paediatricians all recommend that babies
should be nourished exclusively with milk during the first
six months after they are born.
